You want intimate/enveloping/engulfing and midrange excellence bar none in a listening room as many cubic feet as your - and, naturally, "more" than your ELAC’s - I’d go active again, but bigger and with added headroom; make that the ATC SCM150 ASL Pro, not much of a looker perhaps (subjective, I’d say - I really like their rugged, no frills industrial build-like-a-tank appearance), but in most every conceivable way an extremely capable speaker that, to my ears, floors most "highend" audiophile speakers regardless of price with their outright naturalness, sheer honesty and insight of presentation. The pro-version retails in the US I believe at around $20-25K/pair (there’s a more "civil" looking tower version, though it’s more extensive without sounding better), but with build-in amps and active filters, and bearing in mind both the quality and quantity of their sound (and ’quantity’ here isn’t trivial), it’s close to a steal.
