I had the LS50W and Elac Navis at home and did A/B testing. To try to have a level playing field I fed a signal from my external DAC through the LS50W RCA input which sounded considerably better than using only the internal DAC on the LS50W. My observations were the same that the Navis beats the LS50W in sound quality. Bigger, fuller, and richer sound with the Navis and they scale really well. As I change/upgrade components the Navis keeps sounding better and better. With my most recent upgrade to a Gustard U16 DDC I have been astonished how good the Navis speakers sound.
The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review
Hello,
Does anyone have a copy of the current issue of TAS and willing to post the review of the ELAC Navis tower speaker? I understand there is a review in the current issue, but I'm having no luck finding a copy of the mag in all of NYC. Thanks!
