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.

I bought a pair of Elac  AS61 about 3 weeks ago at first I thought they were a bit toppy but now after running them in with a new amp, wow and WOW ! the top is smooth and detail is all there. I run them with a Wyred 4 sound ST1000 and the sound is so smooth.
Previously I was running maggies and the mid on the Elac is much better. Before laying my money down I compared them to B&W and KEF they are better value and more detail. I use Anticables and Wyred 4 sound TOP XLR connections.
Previously I have sold B&W Mission KEF etc not a dealer now, and owned B&W Martin Logan and Maggies etc now not in retail and have played French horn and Piano. So got an ok pair of ears. Take a couple of critical discs and listen carefully you will be rewarded and when run in WOWWWWWWW.


guys, now the AS61 Speakers are run in and wow the sound so so perfect for my listening area, I have only a 10 ft wide area and 16 ft long but I use only 12 and 7 ft ceilings, I have sold HiFi and bought many systems from B&W Electrostatics Yes they did make some the DM70, owned M Logan Electrostatics and Maggies but these little speakers AS61 seem to produce more detail and life. I am Astounded and did compare them before buying with a few of the biggest names in Hi-Fi eg KEF, B&W and others.I would ask you to listen to a few tracks which will confirm how great these speakers are.
For top end
Album: Touching Silk by  FrankSteiner Jr  5 Bells of the Himalaya
For Drums and transient.
Album: Human -OST   by Armand Amar  3 Dam in China.
For voice Album: Nostalgia by Annie Lenox Track 2 Georgia on my mind  Flac &MQA stunning.
I have too many orchestral Examples to go into but I love Mahler and Tchaikovsky and these speakers bring out so much detail it is unbelievable.

I know you have loads of test discs but it was the above ( All Available on Tidal) that showed me just what these speakers could do Thank you and thanks to Andrew Jones this Design is Fantastic

Paired with my Wyred 4 sound ST1000 Amplifier there is loads of Dynamics and micro detail.
