    Default FS Proac 1s in cherry

    Proac 1s in exc condition in cherry, boxed, grilles etc.

    Bought recently as I have a tatty pair of 1sc that i had given to me via pink fish and I was going to upgrade these pretty 1s to SC spec uding the parts in the tatty black ones but I'm probably devaluing both pairs and these 1s are so so lovely and original, I don't want to tinker with them. Even the boxes are really tidy.*

    One tweeter has slight dimples suggesting it has had a minor poke at some point and been teased out. Not immediately visable and difficult to photograph but thought I should mention it. No effect sonically as far as I can hear.

    £400 collected or plus P&P.

    I'm keeping the stands in the photos for my other Proacs.

    Interesting, where do these differ from 1SC and how can you upgrade?

    Bass driver and crossover. I'm lucky to have both...I don't necessarily think the 1sc is better, in some ways I prefer the 1s. It's slightly warmer and sweeter. The SC is clearer but sharper with it.
