The ProAc Response D20R is an upgraded floorstanding loudspeaker based on the successful D18/D20 design, incorporating a new cabinet with bass loading similar to D30 and D40 models, a refined crossover network, and the ProAc ribbon tweeter used in higher-end models like D30, D40, and K6. This results in improved precision across all frequencies, with a wonderfully open and expansive midrange, substantial bass extension, sweet and detailed high frequencies, and a large soundstage. It features a two-way design with a down-firing bass-reflex port, bitumen-dampened MDF cabinet, acoustically transparent crimplene grille, and supports bi-wiring or bi-amplification. The D20R earned acclaim in the 2025 What Hi-Fi? Awards review.
