This was the second from top-of-the-line among ProAc speakers. This model came out 3 years ago but it is no longer found on the ProAc website. However, there is a comprehensive third party review here:

I bought these speakers brand new 2 years ago, and they have only been used for about 100 hours, merely to burn them in. Due to multiple family illnesses that started at about the time I bought the speakers, I have not had the time to play with them or play with equipment to properly match them with, and it doesn't look like I'll have that time in the foreseeable future, so I have reluctantly decided to sell them. They are in mint condition, no scratches, no damage at all. I have the original manual, boxes (including crates), and all accessories (spikes, etc.) which have never been used. Also, the original warranty card is in mint condition and has never been filled out.

The MSRP 2 years ago was $32,595.00 a pair. I am selling them at a substantial discount. I am located in Vancouver, B. C., and buyer is to be responsible for shipping and insurance.

There are two pairs of binding posts on the back of each speaker, for bi-wiring or bi-amping.
Shipping dimensions given are for each speaker, while weight is for both speakers.

The following is from the original ProAc website description of these speakers:

Carbon fibre is a very light, stiff and rigid material. The body of a Formula 1 racing car is made of carbon fibre.

Loudspeaker companies have toyed with the use of carbon fibre in loudspeakers, mainly for the use in cabinets. Carbon fibre coned drive units are rarely seen and used, we believe the type of carbon fibre and its preparation that we are using is unique.

For the past year ProAc has been researching the use of pure carbon fibre due to its qualities and resonances in the manufacture of drive unit cones. Its incredible stiffness makes it ideal for a drive unit cone, and its piston like qualities are perfect for moving air at low frequencies without distortion. The new Carbon Pro 6 uses two carbon fibre coned bass drivers, a carbon fibre midrange horn and a carbon composite plinth.

The carbon cone is unique with a pure polymer impregnated carbon weave and polished diaphragm, the back of the cone is then specially lacquered and finally it is concentrically weighted to add appropriate mass. The 2-inch midrange dome is repositioned in the unique pure polymer impregnated carbon weave and polished horn, and midrange sounds are reproduced with uncanny realism. High frequencies are covered by the ProAc ribbon tweeter with a diaphragm lighter than a human hair giving a sweet and detailed reproduction. With these attributes the cabinet size can be reduced greatly without losing the weight and slam of a much larger conventional loudspeaker. The cabinet on the Carbon Pro 6 is a traditional mixture from ProAc of HDF materials of different thicknesses heavily damped with bitumen. Indeed the carcass including bitumen is 35mm thick. The combination of research into carbon fibre and its ingredients have produced a stunningly accurate and detailed loudspeaker, having an electrostatic or panel quality without the drawbacks. Sound is reproduced effortlessly with incredible detail and pinpoint imagery, which often can be muddled by conventional drive units. We are sure at ProAc you will not see this type of drive unit in any other high-end loudspeaker and you will be amazed at such an open accurate and natural sound with a fast potent bass response. We urge those seeking the ultimate sound experience to audition the Carbon Pro 6 at a ProAc dealer near you.
