Naim and Elac Adante, Wow

Arafiq hardly surprsing. We are a Parasound dealer, and although they make  a good amp for the money
Parasounds products generally sound warm and a bit closed in.

The LS 50w would sound cleaner and more open due to active  crossover, 0 cabling, and perfectly designed amps.

As per Elac Adantes vs Ls  50 no comparson there. The Ls 50 sounds like  a fantastc monitor, the Adantes sound like a floorstander.

Cr if you have specific questions PM us.

We currently have the Kef Ls 50, Kef Ref 1, Elac Adates, ATC Scm 11, Scm 19.
 Paradigm Persona B on display.

So we can answer questions pertaining to any comparisons.

Dave, please share how this is NOT a commercial?  Just wondering how that works, lol...HA

I’m on the West coast, Dave is on the East coast. I’m basically housebound due to medical reasons and am forced to buy online, and ONLY from vendors with good return policies. Dave carries my current speakers and amp, along with many of the speakers I’m considering to upgrade to. If I can pick his brain and get some hands on insight, then I consider that a bonus and not a schill for my business. 

Another review with an additional group of measurements came out for the Adante bookshelf, and while they subjectively reviewed well for bass quality, the tweeter subjective and performance measurements provide a good insight to how they were engineered.

As the tweeter begins to cross over with its mid diver, a flare at around 10 degrees off axial occurs ranging form the upper mid range to mid treble. This levels off at around 30 degrees with the axial response and then the typical upper treble roll off that occurs with most tweeters. There is a mild notch at the upper end of the mid treble as well, which may be attributed to that oddly designed cover.

Considering its designer, this is certainly an intentional voicing and my expectation was to create a broad and vivid sound. You would likely need some very specific positioning to get these speakers to work. Very little toe in would be a good start and maybe some room dampening. 

If you test these for yourself, certainly bring your most favored recordings, but I would also bring some less than ideally mastered stuff to see if you can enjoy all of your library with it. A speaker that doesn't allow you to enjoy your library isn't something I would purchase for myself.
