Elac Adante AS 61 vs AF 61

Hi Guys,

We are an Elac dealer and we have the AS 61 on display they are interesting and controversial speakers. 

We have found some great combinations that work well with the stand mounts. The question is are the floorstanders any better in any way or is it the exact same sound with the additional bass of the floorstanders.

We have had a pair of the floorstanders on order for months so we are wondering does it make sense to wait or will the AS 61 sound in reality nearly the same with the exception of the greater bass response of the floorstander.

Audio Doctor NJ,

I am thinking about either the Adantes, and have been eyeballing the beautiful Quad Z 4’s for some time. So, IYO is the Quad a better overall speaker than the Elac? I know they are very different and it’s all subjective, but what is your general thoughts? 
I will be using either a MastersounD DueVenti tube Integrated (20 w/pc) or
PS Audio Stellar M700 monos & pre/DAC.

i have had my finger on the trigger (but Elacs not available yet) and would appreciate your thoughts on either?

Contuzzi,

Yea, will have to search for a higher efficiency speaker. Believe it or not, the MS sounds fantastic with my Def Tech St-L’s. May not even need another speaker.
they are 93 dB, and plenty of volume, so a speaker in that range should be fine.
The Quads are 90 dB, so may be borderline.
