ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?


Heard these at Axpona...  

However I’m amazed no one is talking about them, now that they’re out at dealers.

Speaking of matching the Adantes with other speakers, I plan on moving my Kef LS50s to the back of a very large room for fill. Thinking similar tweeter/midrange design will play well.

Hey Contuzzi, you just went down a whole heap in our book with some of your comments about us, and you like the Personas and Anthem gear and so we felt a kind of kin ship to you. 

We vet our products very carefully and only after testing them vs the competition and our other products as well as finding out which systems work together synergisitcally do we pass judegment on just how good the product actually is. 

Even without spending any real time with them listening to music seriously, we have been breaking them in with surround sound setup, the speakers do some things remarkably well, but we haven't passed any judgement other than they are a big set of speakers and they have prodigious bass and they do have a big soundstage. 

Funny they don't seem bright at all in our room with Wireworld Silver Eclipse speaker cables and they have been hooked up to an Anthem AVM 60 and a Parsound A23 amplifier. 

Just because a reviewer likes something doesn't mean it is the ultimate truth nor if the reviewer doesn't like something same thing as  well. 

I have been to three major reviewers homes and only one had a system we would say knocked my socks off. One of the reviewers systems was $400k and it wasn't that impressive.  One reviewer had a miss mosh of cables, no power conditioning, and his room sounded aweful.

So you have to take a snippet review like Steve's with a grain of salt especially when he was testing the speakers in the CNET offices and not his home setup. 

The English review was a total rave so  what does that say about the speakers.

Once we have suitably broken in our demo pair will we give you guys an accurate assement of their sound.
