1st of all, i never heard the sr17's, so everyone yump on me now! ;~) ok, that's outta the way... a relative, who's ears i trust, drove three hours to hear the sr17's. he liked 'em a lot. but, he preferred the proac 1sc's. said they were more detailed & threw a more holographic soundstage. thought the sr17's mite be a bit more forgiving, but he has never been off-put by the proac's being too analytical. he sold his 1.5's to get the 1sc's for his second system. in his 1st system, he uses the proac 2.5's... i have yet to hear the 1sc's, but the 1.5's & the 2.5's are great... i was buggin' him for 2 years to of-load the 1.5's for something like the sr-17's or the 1sc's, & he thought i was nuts. well, when he finally went to audition, he said i was right, but it was the 1sc's that did it, not the sr-17's.all that rambling aside, if it were *me*, i'd try the vmps 626 neo ribbons, w/either the auricaps or trt caps upgrade... ;~)
