Shame you're not at all local - would be interesting to do the comparison now. Don't think I'll ever sell my wee ProAcs either, especially as we've had them in the family since 1993 (I bought them off a friend when they were less than 2 years old). My dad had them for 5 years or so, but I nabbed them back a few months ago. Wonderful little things, they don't suffer fools in terms of what they're fed with, but when all's well they're a joy. Still not owned a speaker before or since which is so good on vocals.
They could do with new tweeters - not because they've been hammered (far from it) but one of them got slightly pushed in some time ago. Think my dad was moving them and his thumb went into it with the grille in place. It popped out no problem but there are the
tiniest pair of creases as evidence (you have to get v close to see it). Sonically there is no detriment that I can detect - even down to getting someone to swap the speakers over with each of us taking it turns to listen 'blind'. Cured my paranoia in one swoop, thankfully. The tweeters are readily available, and Falcon Acoustics will even search out a matched pair.
