Naim and Elac Adante, Wow

The new Elac Adantes are creating a lot of buzz both good and bad.

We were mixed on the speakers initially as certain sonic aspects were fantastic while others were less then satisfactory.

The Adante AS 61 has a relatively low sensitivity so we thought 40 watts will not be enough.

Surprise the Naim Uniti Atom with Wireworld cables produced an intoxicating sound.

The Atom is warm and punchy so the combo matched perfectly.

Elac and Naim fantastic together and affordable.

3k amp which includes dac and streamer,  plus 2.5k speakers other then cables and stands this combo would make a lot of people very happy.

We would urge prospective Adante purchasers to seek out this combo these two products mesh while other combos of electronics with the Adantes may be why some people are not liking the speakers.

There is absolutely NOTHING special about the Adantes.  Not for the money, nothing.  

AudioTroy, I’m sure once you realize they won’t sell for you, you will be desperate to sell the demos.

Deny it all you want, or worse, make yourself an absolute fool and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about — but just remember I said this.   

If Andrew Jones didn’t design the Adantes no one would even take them seriously.

Again, you brought them in, so obviously you’re going to push them and try to get a good word out on them, but if you seriously think deep down that they’re impressive at all and not horribly flawed, I simply can’t take your opinions seriously.  Keep in mind I have about two months worth of experience with them (AS and AF) ahead of you.

As always, your points are short sighted.

Four people huh? I think you’d be surprised how many more don’t enjoy your posts.

Oh, and the other point you made about how many people have learned anything from me — again, very short sighted and not a very intelligent point. I don’t post nearly as much as you, and don’t try and be as “helpful” (read: pushing brands you carry) as you because I don’t have the time. Look at your post count compared to mine, and worse, the length of your posts.  

Next time try harder.

Two terrible points.

The worst part is — if you follow these posts, you get email notifications of every post. So you get to see the posts of users complaining about him before they vanish (aka get deleted by Forum moderators). I think he himself is reporting all posts of that kind.

This place would be far better without him.
