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.

Thank you nhmanmtb!  I appreciate your relaying your experience and opinion.
No local dealer but I will indeed find an out of town dealer to audition.

I thought they sounded wonderful on Sunday. I am extremely sensitive to strident mids or highs and I heard natural sounding detail and warmth. I think you will have to hear them for yourself :-)
