My room is Irregular shaped with a smaller adjoining dining area to the rear and a double stairwell to the left. The soundstage is very dark and smooth causing the instruments to be acutely distinguishable and detailed. The ELACs stand-mounts are midrange magicians so to speak but with the front of the speakers 48 inches from the rear wall, the bass is well in the background behind the main performance. The SVS subwoofer comes into play in this audio only system, flushing out the bottom musical registers, creating a well balanced sound through the full audio spectrum without bringing any attention to itself whatsoever. Very much satisfied at this point.
Speakers recently changed from Magnepan 1.7s, which I could no longer appreciate due to high frequency hearing loss. The sound presented by the ELACs somehow complement my new normal since suffering hearing loss.
System edited: Added a PS Audio Power Plant Premier. My initial impression is that a veil was lifted from in front of the sound stage. All instruments, especially bass guitar are presented a lot sharper and more distinct than before. Nice to hear the bass guitar and kick drum individually to a far greater degree. A refreshing upgrade. I like my speakers but have been looking to upgrade these. No hurry though. The only speakers I have heard with a significant improvement in sound listed at 9 grand. Any tips/suggestions would be appreciated.
