Anyone here own Elac Vela SF 409?

Looking to purchase these in January. 

They appear to tick all the boxes (sufficiently tall with drivers located in upper half of cabinet, no rear port, smooth high end, rated down to 28Hz, WAF acceptable, not too heavy).

Reviews tend to be very positive but as there's little mention of them, here, I'm 

wondering whether they have flaws I've yet to read about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but as they never seem to be mentioned here, I'm wondering if they have flaws I've yet to hear about.

Nice looking speaker

"I’m wondering whether they have flaws I’ve yet to read about."

You find them attractive. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. You won’t know until they’re in your room.

ALL audio equipment has "flaws" with a microscope.

Yes-- I realize this, that's why I never buy anything I cannot return if neccesary. 

 

What I'm trying to ascertain is, whether their apparent lack of popularity, here, is indicative of some significant flaw that I ought to know about.

I've never spent this much for speakers before, so perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

Likely the limted  of distribution in the states. Other wise, the company is an established player in Europe.

Most of us know that feeling of opening the wallet wider than usual-especially when wifey gives you that "look"

The Elac lineup looks solid.
