Elac Loudspeakers?

I drive my Elac 247s with the Musical Fidelity AMS35i and find that the pure class A AMS perfectly matches the 247s--clean, airy highs and punchy bass with reasonable mids.. Upgrading to the 249BE cos the 249BE is just better than the 247 in every department.. Wider, deeper soundstage and more full body mids and vocals. Better dynamics and the sound is less forward, makes for better long hour listening.. I listen mainly to classical, operas and vocals..

I tried the beryllium tweeter speakers and found that they lack the airiness and transience of the jet III..

Kclone.. My local dealer was telling me that if I ran two speaker cables to the speaker, that is, in his words--the true bi wiring.. The speakers will sound even better!!! Dun know how true that is.. Going to test listen next tue.. Will update here after I auditioned..:-)

I was thinking of the 409 or the 507 too.. Thing is, they are not available where I am yet cos they are so new.. Anyone had tried them? I would be very interested to know how they sound compared to the 249BE...

Thank you.. I really appreciate that...shall await eagerly for your opinion on how the 507s are compared to the 249BE..

Just a matter of interest.. Has anyone compared to the focals to the Elacs? Maybe the 1028BE or the 1038BE to the 249 or 249BE or something.. Will appreciate if you could share your opinion.. Thanks..:-)

That will be awesome..!!
Personally, I did listen to the Scala but came away feeling that the Elac's Jet III is a lot smoother and sweeter than the beryllium tweeter.. But the Scala did have glorious mids and more volumous bass even though the bass didn't feel quite as punchy or as rthymic as the Elac's..
It will be good to know if a higher range Elac can match or better the Scala's mids and vocals..
