Anyone heard the Eltax Monitor PWR 1959?

I'm struggling to find a review, just news about their release, but they look like "our" sort of speaker.

I've had Eltax Symphonys & a couple of emanations of their av speakers (can't recall the models) & I wouldn't touch these with someone else's bargepole.

The bargain basement ones that Richer Sounds used to sell weren't great although I remember a pair of their bookshelves (Monitor?) got good reviews at the time.

Those look a different kettle of fish to me - 3 way with 15" paper type woofer, horn tweeters. etc

Some photos. I wish they'd change their badge though!

Those look great 👍

I'm guessing nobody. Shame there doesn't seem to be a single commercial review out, they must be worth a try.

Have you seen this one Lawrence?

They do look intriguing but as I said earlier my experience of the brand hasn't been the best.

I think they look pretty good, especially at the price. Eltax have made some tat but so have a lot of big name companies, wouldn't write them off just based on that.

They look to be quite a bit better than the stuff sold at Richer Sounds. It may be that RS will have some discounted in a few years time.

I've not heard anything from Eltax, ever. But that seems like too much speaker for little money, so there must be compromises somewhere. I do quite like the look of them however, even though it's not a style I'd consider in my living room.

Definitely one to listen to before purchase.

Yeah know what you're saying about too cheap. Remind me a bit of the Wharfdale E90s, play loud but not the most refined speakers around.

[Filterlab]

Some Wharfedales were a bit like that - one exception was the astonishing Coleridge speakers. Superb things.

Big and cheap speakers always make me think of Cerwin Vega's offerings. They looked like great value for money, until they were playing. They made 'noise' but that was about it.
