Customer Comments (cont.)
Though the prototypes had a lovely warm midrange and hefty bass, they lacked the clarity and dynamics of their bigger brothers. The good news is though that based on customer feedback the production version of the PR1 is going to utilise many of the discoveries made in producing the PR4 and may come close to it in performance, but at a much lower price. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like.
If your taste in music leans towards the recording of live performances, and if you're looking for a pair of speakers that will transport you to the time and place of the original recording, then you really ought to give PSC Audio's PR4s a try. You won't be disappointed.

PR-1
I think that my existing setup is pretty good - Vacuum State electronics modified Sony SACD player, Sonic Frontiers SFC-1 push-pull integrated tube amp, Acoustic Energy AE-2 monitors, but the addition of the PR-1s to my setup highlighted the deficiencies of my AE-2s.
I thought that the ribbon tweeters on the PR-1s might have been a bit bright, but that wasn't the case. They were smooth and detailed without a hint of harshness, unlike the aluminium dome tweeters on my AE-2s.
I also thought that the horn-loaded bass on the PR-1s could be boomy and a bit honky, but the bass was a revelation. It was extended, fast, well-defined and musical. At times I thought that it would get too big on me, but it never did, it was always well-controlled and just right for my room.
