i bought this speakers when released ,only because i never get bad with wharfedale , even their professional line in early 2000´s was a choice of mine for indoors concerts in new rooms at the time ,so i went for them but after i saw the ELAC you avaliate here ,i bought them as i have a better place to fit them wharfedale at home .
For the room i have at my mothers house i went for the Elac´s which is a brand i know since the 70´s as my father had components from this brand and were quite special.
They were good but it were not well positioned in my mothers home where i have to sleep now due to her age, which was my family house ,only filled with old furniture ,i prefered the elac on top of furniture ,who work perfect with a late 70´s hitachi power and pre amplifier,
with my SL-1310 , technics turntable ,still using the original cartridge and stylus but have the 2mBlack from Ortofon on rotation, i can´t say which sounds better, but the speakers i found them very good as i am used too always be satisfied with wharfedale.
I heard about the travel to china ,only can hope that doesn´t happen the same like when KEF and Celestion did it , both brands ruined models being sold with the two brands and a bad building quality, like the towers ,Concerto.
About burgers i only in rare situtations, i eat there but it´s like ,doesn´t taste like cow or veal, my surprise when going to a burger king , it was fresh made, or at least looks like it, the slice of tomato and lettace seem cutted at the hour the mac one is already tasting like garbage,
but it´s when i travel in work and inbetween meetings, i stop in one of those. Size?double or triple , half an hour later one feels hungry again , but nothing better like made at home , Angus beef , better
