ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?


Heard these at Axpona...  

However I’m amazed no one is talking about them, now that they’re out at dealers.

Hi,

(I posted this in another audiogon discussion and then I saw that hificrazed has adantes pair with parasound, so I thought I'd post here as well) 

I own the ELAC Adante AS-61 and I'm currently looking for an amp and preamp to match with them. Hifi is a relatively new hobby for me so I'm not able to describe how the speakers sounds yet. I believe this takes some experience.

I was contemplating getting the new Parasound (hint 6 or p6/a21+/a23+) when I saw a used accuphase e560 (pure class A amp rated at 30W) for $4000. The accuphase is apparently much better quality but i contacted elac to check on the power and Andrew Jones responded saying "The accuphase is way underpowered. Go with the Parasound".

Anyone here has experience with the adantes paired with parasound gear? Do share your thoughts. And how do they compare to say Naim, Accuphase, Mcintosh, Yamaha (A-S2100/A-s3000) or Audio Alchemy amps.

Thanks 😁
I just pulled the trigger and ordered the Naim NAC-N 172xs + NAP 155xs to pair with my Elac Adante AS-61. 

Anyone has experience with these naims, and how they sound with the adantes?

Also how do they compare to the parasound hint 6, naim uniti atom and uniti nova?
