I'm considering to arrange a small-room secondary system, and I want it to have a "vintage" vibe.
Regarding speakers for that purpose, the Proac Response 1SC's are considered a classic by some people on the internet.
For some reason, it's been the inspiration for many clones and copies. I actually heard them on a few occasions in small rooms and was pleasantly surprised, but it was years ago, so I don't trust my impression.
Do they hold any merit, from an objective standpoint? Here are Stereophile's measurements:

I can clearly see the mid-bass bump, which is probably why the speakers were "surprising", although I also remember some pleasant vocals (for what that distant memory is worth).
Anyone has any thoughts on these? Or a recommendation for something else, similar in nature? (i.e. small oldies but goodies)
