Here is a measurement of the ProAc response three using a B&K 4006 microphone with DRA Labs MLSSA system measured by John Atkinson so you know its 100% correct.

It's not that bad I have seen worse on speakers costing 5 times more but it's not good either.

Look at the graph 0 dB is your average, and these speakers have a 9 dB spike at 60 HZ. To the human ear an increase of 10 dB sounds twice as loud so a 9 dB spike is unacceptable. A dip of about 2.5 to 3 dB at 2500 KHZ from 7000 KHZ to 10000 KHZ there is a 4 dB spike and from 16000 KHZ to 20000 KHZ there is about a 4 dB spike.

Funny if you look at some Focal or Magico speakers they measure just as bad and cost more. Facts are a lot of very expensive speakers measure poorly. People need to look at things from a manufacturer point of view it is more important to cut corners and make profit than it is to make a speaker with a perfect response.
