Best in Class

ELAC
I’m always looking for great values at the shows. They’re rare – but they’re there.
Great sound doesn’t have to be uber expensive. And it’s no secret that ELAC offers some of the best bank-for-buck products in the market today.
Aside from the neat decor, the music from these ELAC Carina 2.5 way loudspeakers ($2,400) kept me in my seat. The keyboarding on It’s On by George Duke was so groovy and involving. The pace was confident and well-structured. Transients were crisp and clean. I was bobbing my head the whole way through.
Also, the tonality from the piano and vocals from Herbie Hancock’s Imagine (with Pink & Seal) was so organic and “true to life.” You could hear and feel their energy and technique. Very impressive.
Driven by ELAC Alchemy electronics, this complete system is only $8,000. Which is hard to believe – and therefore makes it the Best in Class at High End Munich 2019.
I think Harman is now owned by Samsung…
Excellent job on sharing your journey at the show. Your thoughts, shared data and reviews are greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work.
It’s readers like yourself that keeps me going. Thank you, Dan.
Spectral in the first picture, is some of the best gear in the world, everybody considering transistor gear in the world, should hear Spectral as a fair comparision.
