I had a pair of the super elfs too. Personally I found them to be a bit bright & fatiguing. I was driving them with S.S. Perhaps a lush sounding single ended Triode tube amp would have been a better mate. They are certainly efficient enough for a low powered tube amp. Something you don't find in many monitors. They had reasonable bass too for their size. Richard is a good guy. He doesn't believe in a lot of hype or advertising. In fact he doesn't even put the Shahinian name on his speakers. Oddly not much of his product is sold in the states, mostly Japan.
