Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll


Will be using a Emotiva Xpa 2. Gen 1 amp with the usp 1 pre amp. Which would be a better fit?

Price wise the Elac are great buy have found any to listen to. Heard the Klipsch but the dealer was streaming source for my music selections

Any good info out there?

Klispch is more versatile with amplifier choices. 

I own some Heresy 3s, but my recommendation would be to get Spatial Audio M4 TurboS' they're better all-around speakers for the same price. Unlike the H3s, they'll sound good with your current amp.
The Heresy IIIs are good speakers at the $2K price point when referring to speakers bought through the traditional dealer model. Nothing I own beats them for late-night, low-level listening. However, it kinda pains me to admit the $2K Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S’ are a much better value overall. They seem just as sensitive and beat the Heresys in nearly every SQ metric. The Heresys still have the upper hand when it comes to very low-volume dynamics, but I suspect that will likely change as the Spatials break-in.

I say this not to denegrate the Heresy, only to bring awareness to the incredible performance value I’ve discovered in the Spatials. The one caveat is they need a minimum wall distance of about 2' in order to produce ample bass, whereas the Heresys can be placed only inches from a wall.
