You can't hear what and likewise, I can't hear what you hear. Hearing, touch and taste are almost totally subjective. The best speakers I've ever heard are Quad 63's but that doesn't make them best does it?
How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers?
How do the Elac UB5s compare to other popular and well reviewed bookshelf speakers? How would they compare to the Kef ls50s or dynaudio excite x14s or some of the other well reviewed bookshelf speakers around the $1500 mark in Stereophile. I am tempted t get a pair of the Elacs in the slim finished cabinets for around $750 but I don't want to short myself.
