about proac
ProAc was founded in 1973 by Stewart Tyler — initially under the brand name Celef, soon renamed to ProAc (Professional Acoustics). Tyler remains founder, CEO, and head designer. Every ProAc cabinet is made in the UK at the Brackley factory. The lineup spans bookshelf-class designs (Tablette 10 Signature, Response D2R) through floor-standing references (Response K6 SD with proprietary ribbon tweeter, Carbon Pro Eight). Stereophile published 14 reviews of ProAc loudspeakers between the mid-1980s and late 2000s; the brand has a multi-decade reputation for tonal accuracy and cabinet finish. Tyler's own framing: "We do not make cheap speakers, and certainly do not make cheap sounds." US distribution through The Sound Organisation.
