Rezem,
Your verdict was excellent and appreciated.
If you remember we were the dealer that started the Elac and Naim thread which got torpedoded by some certain posters who hail the world resolves around a certain speaker company who makes speakers with first order slopes and were threatned by an open discussion.
We personally feel that the industry is making an exciting new turn in somewhat affordable products that produce some remarkable performance and can hint at the best products available.
We like the Elac Adantes and present them to people looking for a very visceral, dynamic sounding and exciting speaker.
A new addition is the Quad Line to our store, and the Z series and the S series are mind blowing affordable loudspeakers.
The Quad line has two series the S series which starts at a $700 and $1,000 monitor, with 2 floorstanders at $1,800 and $2,100.00

The Quad speakers feature totally proprietary ribbon tweeters and wooven carbon fiber drivers in nicely damped cabinets.
The more expensive Z series uses a bigger ribbon and more sophisticated drivers, again with an upgraded cabinet, startiing a $2k for a monitor and $4.2 and $5k for their floorstanders.

All we can say is WOW! The Quads are silky sounding, yet with great detail and a huge soundstage. The Quads are more delicate and airy sounding than the Elacs but lack the Elacs sense of excitement and deep viceral bass.
The Quad ribbon tweeter is stunning, it creates tremendous detail yet sounds much richer and less harsh then any true ribbon tweeter we have ever experienced.
The point we are making are both the Elac and Quad lines are challenging much more expensive speakers and yes we sell speakers up to $70k.
