ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?

Just purchased these 2 days ago. Still running them in. 

That doesn’t sound good.  They should sound 90% of what they will sound like broken in....  no impressions yet? 

Changed some speaker cables out. These speakers are amazing. Better than I expected - took a gamble and bought based on the feedback from the shows without auditioning. I was a die hard B&W fan before. These speakers have exceeding my expectations . 

So you weren’t that impressed until you changed the speaker cables out?  Care to go into more detail?

I was using AQ Type 4 and switched to AQ Rocket 44 with nordost jumpers. The speakers sounded great at set up. I've had a few days to absorb what these speakers can do. Simply amazing. Low end is exceptional. These speakers benefit from the soft dome tweeter, I know this was a design change from the original debut in Jan 2017. I was planning on purchasing B&W 705 S2 but wanted a stand mount with deeper low end. These speakers best the 705 S2 IMHO.
