adante

Cage match!  White elephant vs. elephant in the room.

Who on earth is this clown? I had to register just because it appears Andrew bad-touched him at some point.

Have little to no experience with the floor standers yet.

 So we went from superlatives to laughing out loud they're so bad? Good grief. Zero credibility.

The Adantes are really nice, I'm just not sure what they were aiming for. They're big and seem to be over-thought. I'd be interested in comparing with the R3, but the reality is I'm trying to downsize for a smaller listening environment, and these just aren't going to pass the grade. What I found interesting was the measurements between the 2 are eerily similar, I guess AJ's DNA is still all over the KEFs.

I have the Adante monitors. I like them I moved them to my home theater room and found they sound best there, due to their excellent dynamics and deeper than average bass extension. A unique speaker that can and does sound great with Parasound amps. 

The Adante are revealing, you have to spend 2-3x more on the rest of the chain to get them performing as thy should
