Has anyone purchased the new Elac Adante floorstanders yet?


I’m considering auditioning them vs. my Goldenear Triton Ones. The Tritons are clean and solid sounding, but seem to lack some sparkle, air and detail in my system. Have Cary SLP-05 preamp and Passlabs XA60.5 amps.  Room is 25 ft x 15 ft x 10 ft, and very open.
Think the Adantes may be more coherent and live sounding, without sacrificing any bass.
opinions?
ps: I get better sound in a much smaller room with a Rogue Cronus Magnum II and Audio Physic Scorpios. Go figure. — could be the “near field” effect.

Thanks for the comments, Audiotroy.
Speaker cables - Acoustic Zen Hologram II
Interconnects - mostly Kimber Silverstreak, also Crystal Cable
front end - Roon on laptop into Ayre Codex dac. Tube-modified Marantz SA-11. Oracle Delphi Mark V with Sumiko arm, Ortofon Cadenza Blue and EAR phono preamp.
Second system has Aurender N100H feeding a Mytek Brooklyn dac. Plays Tidal with MQA. Also has less costly phono and CD.
LPs are the best sounding source on both systems but digital is very close.

I heard the Elac briefly at a dealer demo last year, and was impressed.
Thanks to these suggestions, I will try moving various eqipment from the less expensive rig to the main system, as an experiment. If the Cronus Magnum improves the sound, then preamp/amp is the culprit, for example. If nothing improves it, then it’s most likely the room itself, the speakers or cabling.
All this will take some doing, so I probably won’t get to it for a week or so.

Don’t want to add significant $$ to system at this time.

I still would like to hear from an actual Elac Adante owner, though.
Thanks for all the comments on Adantes and suggestions for my system. 
Followed @djohnson54’s advice for using the Brooklyn as a preamp, and performed several other swaps with second system components separately. Observations and conclusions:
1. The room is the biggest problem, especially reflections off tv. (It’s a home theater, as well as a stereo setup.) Room treatment is in the works.
2. Brooklyn sounds more dynamic than SLP-05, but not as refined in highs and mids.
3. Purchased a Pass Labs XP-10 to compare to the Cary. Will keep the better sounding unit. Need about 1 week to really compare.
4. When done with all of this, will audition Adantes, just for the heck of it.
really nice discussion. Thanks.
ps: will probably upgrade dac also.
Jond,
Good suggestion. Already tried it. Scorpios sound about the same in mids and highs. But in the larger room, the Triton Ones have more solid base lines. So the Tritons seem better for the main system.
Btw, preliminary comparison of Cary SLP-05 to Pass XP-10 preamp:
Cary is more dimensional and rich on female vocals; Pass is better at most everything else - especially more complex and energetic music. Don’t know which to keep yet.
I’m really fortunate to be dealing with such a trivial dilemma in life. Audioholicism is a very strange affectation.

Btw,
Sound treatments, using balanced cables thruout, and substituting the Brooklyn dac in the main system, all contibuted to improving the sound quality considerably. The “air and sparkle” is there, especially in the near field. Happier me.
