Naim and Elac Adante, Wow


The new Elac Adantes are creating a lot of buzz both good and bad.

We were mixed on the speakers initially as certain sonic aspects were fantastic while others were less then satisfactory.

The Adante AS 61 has a relatively low sensitivity so we thought 40 watts will not be enough.

Surprise the Naim Uniti Atom with Wireworld cables produced an intoxicating sound.

The Atom is warm and punchy so the combo matched perfectly.

Elac and Naim fantastic together and affordable.

3k amp which includes dac and streamer,  plus 2.5k speakers other then cables and stands this combo would make a lot of people very happy.

We would urge prospective Adante purchasers to seek out this combo these two products mesh while other combos of electronics with the Adantes may be why some people are not liking the speakers.

At one time I was on the fence about audiotroy. But I have come to appreciate his posts, long winded some may be. There are a few vandersteen owners/dealer here who resemble shills far more than him. IMHO, YMMV, etc., .........
In the modern world, it seems that in various spheres people have discovered that an opinionated and sometimes obnoxious stream of constant noise about whatever it is that they're hawking (ideas, or products) gets them noticed.  Apparently, the audio world has not gone unscathed...
Hey Ozzy I have some great Budweiser, and some stale chips, stop by any time for that wonderful listening session-music matters,..too!

I also have some fine Columbian and Curveo gold and some great Donald Fagen records. Peace

Thanks for appreciating our posts.

Sounds like a great idea. As you say, it's the music that matters and the joy of listening. For Audiotroy, it's the art of the deal.

Interesting, I see you are enjoying an audio system that was purchased somewhere from someone, or did you cobble it together in your workshop? That audio system was designed to do what exactly ah yes, PLAY MUSIC!

So unless your are a talented musician you are going to need equipment to play that music on, so equipment is required to do the job.  So to recap no equipment = NO MUSIC for you to listen to.

If you purchased components rather then created them yourself, did you ever visit a shop ever to learn about components, or to just listen to some music, or talk about what’s new, did you then talk to a salesperson whose job it is to know about and sell components, does that salesmen do that job for 40 hours or so a week and is therefore eminently qualified to discuss their knowledge of what those components do, or go to a an audio show which is run by manufacturers who sells products designed to make music?

You are so busy pointing the finger of impropriety and "selling" or "shilling" or "trolling" you fail to see the hypocrite for which you are, see above.

Your self professed knowledge comes from what? Your years as an audiophile, vs our 30 plus years of doing this day in and day out and finding combinations, tweaks, and evaluating products which we do constantly?

So back on topic, what do you think of the Elac Adantes? Do you find them to be excellent imagers, do you think they have an accurate midrange, if not where are they colored, how do you hear that, and if so compared to which other speakers in the price range? How do they compare to the ATC or KEF R300, or any of the other popular monitors, how is the treble detailed? How is the bass?

You really need to grow up man there are people four on this thread alone that have recognized that our posts are helpful and have aided them in making decisions.

And yes we are getting so rich by buying the latest components to always have the best possible selection for our clients vs those other stores who are selling the same old products and never evaluating whether or not their products are as good as the new Mytek Brooklyn Dac, or Elac or the new Quad speakers?

It is such a shame that you are such a close minded individual I could guarantee we could have taught you how to make your system sound way better and probably have saved you a ton of music in the process.

As I sit hear and listen to the Elac AS 61 on our new Naim Nova.
