Truth be told. I’ve had these speakers for a little while, longer than I probably should have in fact. But the problem was, I kept finding all sorts of different uses for them. In my regular studio space, upstairs in the living room, as main channels in my home theater, etc. And, subjectively, they sounded good enough that I kept comparing them to other speakers that I had coming in and out of my house. And ELAC’s choice to eschew having an integrated A/D and D/A section, or any sort of DSP, in an active speaker, was an interesting (read old-school) sort of approach compared to competitors such as KEF’s LS50. Does this approach make sense in this day and age? I ultimately kept asking myself if all the hoopla about these speakers was well deserved.
