ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?

fantastic !

that cathode follower will most likely also drive a decently long cable so you can try amp out closer to speakers - the shorter speaker cable may control bass better.
i use that approach with Mac tube gear in my vintage setup.
inexpensive to try with Blue Jeans cable...

where are the active Argo speakers? anybody seen them for sale?

Looking to assemble a 2-channel set-up. I had been looking at the Emerald Physics KCII speakers (at a similar $2500/pair), and then came across reviews of this speaker. I know the Emerald Physics are kind of niche, so, doubt anyone reading this has listened to them. They are totally different kind of speakers, but curious which style would be better for rock, pop, electronic and chill out music. Not a lot of jazz or classical. My guess is the Elac's.

Has anyone tried the Elacs with a lower priced amp like the Monoprice Monolith amp:

or the Vincent Audio SP 331 amp:

Elac huh? Kind of like Wharfdales, neither a very good speaker in my book. Heck, I even think the B&W latest CM series a lil out of place. Low budget speakers all over the place today, I’d suggest find someone with a decent set of higher caliber for sale.
