Product Description
ProAc DT8 Speakers (Pair) is the brand's new entry-level floor stander that is designed to revolutionise what an entry-level floor stander can achieve. This accessible model punches well above its weight by delivering an exceptional sound performance, within a sleekly crafted and compact cabinet.
The DT8 breaks the mould from other floor standers in its price range by utilising more than one type of driver unit material. This means that the materials have been selected that excel at certain frequencies so you can be assured of a solid sound landscape across the frequencies.
The DT8 comes in a range of sophisticated finishes such as black aska, cherry, mahogany, maple, oak and silk white, alongside the premium finishes of rosewood and ebony.
Intuitive Design
The Pagina Mica cone unit utilises 2 x 6.5 inch drivers, and showcases an outstanding bass performance. An intricately detailed and unblemished midrange is delivered by the ported cabinet with side vents and crafted from polypropylene.
ProAc's emblematic natural sounding midrange quality and pinpoint detail are delivered thanks to both drivers working together and offering a low-frequency response. A new designed crossover by Stewart Tyler then overlaps the frequency ranges and combines with the brand's inch soft dome tweeter.
Innovative Two-Way Design
Unlike other speakers that utilise the same driver cone material across their ranges, ProAc has for the first time ever used two different types of mid/bass unit in a two way design. The mixing and matching of driver unit cone materials brilliantly covers different types of music, making this a versatile and flexible design.
Press Reviews

What Hi-Fi Award 2019 and 2018 "Best floorstander £1500-£2000" (What Hi-Fi magazine)
- "...The ProAcs respond with a large-scale sound full of force and fury. They deliver the music’s high-octane dynamic swings with enthusiasm and plenty of punch, yet have the skill to render the subtleties with care. Tonally, they are a little forward - but they have enough by way of refinement to prevent this being an issue." (What Hi-Fi Magazine July 2018)
- "Detail levels are high, with the DT8s able to resolve layers of information and organise it in a cohesive manner. They render instrumental texture superbly, and deliver slight changes in intensity and drive well. Stereo imaging is lovely too. These speakers paint on an expansive sonic canvas, and locate instruments with precision and stability. The orchestra is laid out convincingly, with the sound extending well beyond the space between the speakers." (What Hi-Fi Magazine July 2018)
- "The DT8s keeps track of the music’s multitude of instrumental strands with ease. While the presence of two different types of mid/bass driver caused us to have doubts at first, we’re impressed by the DT8’s expressive and transparent midrange performance. Voices come through with clarity, and are nicely separated from the complex instrumental backdrop." (What Hi-Fi Magazine July 2018)
- "There’s an impressive degree of agility, coupled to plenty of power and weight - the DT8s may be relatively slim speakers but there’s no denying their ability to deliver basslines with conviction... We really like these speakers... they deliver such an entertaining sound we can’t help but recommend them. Take a bit of care with system-matching and they will impress." (What Hi-Fi Magazine July 2018)

"The Response DT8s are one of the best floorstanders we've heard at this price. They're highly recommended... Agile, articulate sound, expressive dynamics, insightful midrange, taut and punchy bass, fine build and finish." (What Hi-Fi Magazine July 2018)

I bought these from Audio Far in Jan 21.. I’m using them with an Exposure XM 5 amplifier and they are superb.. When you start listening to your music you don't want to stop.
With the Exposure amp I find them very musical.
Highly recommended. -
