Elac Loudspeakers?

I listen to rock/pop and yes, Elac handles that genre very well. Before i had the Burmester, I had the new Primare amps, A32s and pre (Pre32) with the FS 249 BE's, they sounded great overall. The older Primare, which you have has a warmer sound, and despite less power, may be even a better match with Elac. Check out this user review of the I30 paired with the FS 249s. Claims they have synergy in spades.

I made some videos of my Elacs with my new YBA amp...here is a youtube link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMO6qwubRAo

Dayglow, just curious. How is your search going? Did you ever get a chance to listen to the 249s?

Kclone-This would be a near future but not an immediate purchase. Hope to visit the Toronto area before years end and listen to various Amphion-Elac-Focus Audio-Marten and Gershman Acoustic speakers.

oohh, that sounds like fun. That is a great lineup. The thing with Elac is they can change a lot depending on what else is in the system. The same can be said about a lot of speaker lines, but IMO with Elac, that effect is more so. Hopefully the dealer knows how to optimize the Elac's at with other gear in your price range. I would imagine your Valve Audio Pred. should be very good with everything.

I drove my Amphion with a Cayin KT-88 Integrated. Great sound, there was no reason to get rid of that setup other then I just like to try new things and see what happens.
