Anyone here own Elac Vela SF 409?

Looking to purchase these in January. 

They appear to tick all the boxes (sufficiently tall with drivers located in upper half of cabinet, no rear port, smooth high end, rated down to 28Hz, WAF acceptable, not too heavy).

Reviews tend to be very positive but as there's little mention of them, here, I'm 

wondering whether they have flaws I've yet to read about.

Nice looking speaker

"I’m wondering whether they have flaws I’ve yet to read about."

You find them attractive. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. You won’t know until they’re in your room.

ALL audio equipment has "flaws" with a microscope.

Likely the limted  of distribution in the states. Other wise, the company is an established player in Europe.

Most of us know that feeling of opening the wallet wider than usual-especially when wifey gives you that "look"

The Elac lineup looks solid.

stuartk-

Speaker choice, especially when you’re deciding to drop a substancial amount is tortuous.

Between the "pro reivews", sifting thru forum wisdom/non sense and not being able to demo them, it’s still a risky proposition.

Remeber the Elac Adante? One minute is was the darling since it was a Andrew Jones design. $5K+ speaker. Few years later, you could have found them HALF price as a closeout, and opinion it’s not this or that. I personally found them to be a pleasant sounding speaker.
