| To improve on the highly acclaimed Response D25 would have been
a daunting task but for the development of a new, slim, elegant cabinet
design giving greater dispersion and featuring side venting to give
the lowest frequencies more power and authority. The faultless reproduction
throughout the frequency range, which made the D25 such a world-beater,
has been greatly intensified with the introduction of the Response
D28.
The original bass driver and tweeter have been retained, but there
the similarity ends. Still using the highly efficient and sensitive
mid/bass driver custom built for ProAc, the crossover network has
been further tuned to match the improved cabinet design and bass
loading, resulting in a significant step forward in sound reproduction.
A slimmer front baffle aids dispersion and increases soundstage,
whilst the new port and vented arrangements found on much more expensive
ProAc floorstanders, give the bottom octaves greater feel and extension.
This gives the D28 slightly more efficiency and good quality valve
or class ‘A’ transistor amplifiers with an output as low
as 10 watts per channel will produce fine results in all but the
very largest of rooms.
These beautiful new speakers feature the traditional ProAc cabinet
quality with high rigidity and heavy damping and are finished in
a range of real wood veneers. The new plinth and vent design arrangement
not only produce a quality of bass found in much larger speakers,
but also offer a better interaction with the listening room, making
cabinet placement less critical. The Response D28 offers superb
sound quality with a detailed soundstage and natural, extended,
powerful bass response. These sonic attributes, coupled with ProAc’s
legendary open midrange quality, make the Response D28 a winner
in its class.
