Cool stuff from Elac. Unexpected.
Glass reflections, unfortunately.
Martin dug one of these up recently.

Fuck off from China's ESD.

A lot of the design of this stuff makes me laugh out loud, but that Elac Rubiks Cube sub is a master stroke!
Just listened to drums on the big Gobels.
Presented as being very fast, as drums are.
Trouble is I have heard these speakers quite a few times, and fast they are NOT.
They do sound very pleasant, though, if very samey, across a lot of stuff.
Gonna check it out when I get back. Snap taken from the presenter's tablet after I asked nicely, and not after I told him the speakers didn't have the speed to do it justice, LOL.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac76e4334f.jpg
I owned MLs for 17 years.
These Neoliths are sounding absolutely killer with the EMM Labs setup.
Way better than my system even has a hope of.
Top. And better than the last time I heard a pair.
Then the panels go wrong... and they will need replacing after a few years. Don't believe otherwise.
Another flaw is the bass only emanates from the bottom of the speaker leaving the mid/top sounding lean height wise, if that makes sense.
Still awesome, though.
But as I left they played something that made my last criticism stick very firmly in my head, triggering memory neurons of past times.
It's not something I want to go back to. Especially at 130K Euros a pair.

The combination of panel drive units (regardless of whether they are electrostatic or magnetic ribbon type) with moving coil drivers can never be successful, for reasons of polar distribution: panel drive units have a dipole distribution, moving coil speakers in an enclosure have a monopole distribution.Quote:

Quite like the Palatine TTs.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7588c1c885.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e165e12f44.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...32573e3642.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e43def0927.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c0f7e9384c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...73b7a2e929.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...30c27ce486.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cf82ba7c7a.jpg
They have front and rear firing bass units to make them dipole like. The biggest issue is the one I described, but that's still really due to mixing driver tech.Quote:
