Richard8655,
I've done more listening. With classical music (orchestral, ensemble) I was easily able to discern the improvements the Elan 10 made over the M5i. The midrange is significantly cleaner, thus it's easy to heard individual group lines. Meanwhile the bass is cleaner. Because it's more transparent when a loud bass note along it's almost punchy--that's the clarity of the speaker.
I've continued to discover it's improvements and I'm very happy with it! Plus, you can place it close to a back wall without major problems. Most people don't think about that but it's a reality many of us need to deal with.
