we are an elac dealer the vela line is solid the adantes were a failure for a number of reasons not really related to sound the bookshelves were too large and the floor standers were not that much better then the monitors,
Add to that the adantes were voiced a bit forward and were physically heavy and hard to ship is why theywere discontinued.
the vellas are amoung our favorite sub 2k monitors
great detail without being too forward , a clean midrange and a huge sound-stage
they are great
