Response D20R
Overview
The Response D18 has proven to be one of ProAc’s most successful loudspeakers receiving critical worldwide acclaim. However, the D18 was only available with a dome tweeter, so to satisfy demand for people wanting a ribbon tweeter ProAc has redesigned the D18 using an upgraded cabinet with new bass loading, new crossover network and the ProAc ribbon tweeter used in other ProAc models. This new exciting model is called the Response D20R and with the upgrades the sound quality has improved in all areas. Improvements comprise of a new cabinet with bass loading used in D30 and D40 models. A new crossover network and a ProAc ribbon tweeter as used in D30 D40 K6. The result is a wonderful open and expansive midrange with a substantial bass, ProAc ribbon tweeter giving sweet and detailed high frequencies, a large sound stage is also a bonus. Should one require the characteristics of the dome tweeter, this version is also available as an option D20 (D).

An unassuming speaker as it appears just to stand there.
However the D20R can deliver some oomph or a simple tune at a low volume either way it is a natural sound that is true to the given artist you are listening to. When I compare to other speakers out there , these become part of the house furniture of my home not just audio equipment that can stick out like the preverbal.
