I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61

Hello all:

I didn’t have the opportunity to attend RMAF 2017 this year and I am very interested in the new Elac Adante AF-61 floor standing loudspeakers.  Of course I’ll find a means to audition before purchase but I did watch/listen to a couple of 4-5 minute internet show coverage videos. Allowing for poor audio quality of the show coverage videos, they sounded a bit strident or metallic in their upper mids and treble registers. Opinions would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!

normie. I was at the show and did hear all of the Elac speakers. My impressions in person was much like you heard on the video. I had never heard these before and left wondering what all the hoopla was about in the reviews. I would not purchase any of their speakers based on my likes and what I heard over the weekend.

Audition them and decide for yourself if you have a chance.

normie, The mixed results are why I said you should try to audition them. This was my third year attending and I am sometime surprised by the highly regarded components I just don't care for. Audition everything. In that price range my favorite speakers at the show were the Ryan Speakers. I do not own them and this was the first time I had a chance to hear them. Both rooms that were using them were outstanding. One had floorstanding and the other a pair of bookshelfs.
