The Elac are doing just fine for me ! Listening to them every day and clearly an upgrade in clarity, bass, and in the sound scene. If they are part of your speaker short list to try, clearly for me, they easily compare to the 1000€ speakers i tested in store, and are better in some cases (to my...

I received the Elac and they sound great in my living room and with the Audiolab. It's clearly an upgrade compared to my Triangle Comete 902, and an upgrade that won't cost me 2000€... (so it's clearly a +) Of course, they're not as good as the Evoke 20 but they are 4 times less expensive. And...

Ok thanks. I'm asking because I have no idea how to do that in my situation (in the living room with either a streamer either android tv as a source. And the audiolab doesn't come with a room eq).

Please do, I would add that when I tried the audiolab 6000a on the evoke 20 (far costlier than the amp) , the salesman told me that he didn't know if the amp would be able to drive the speakers well. We tried and he was positively suprised by it, it drive them very well, we didn't feel the need...

No I didn't bought them yet. I heard them and I was stunned, but initially my budget was around 600€, this one leads me to around 2k€, I'm afraid it's too much for me. I'm taking a bit of time to think about it more clearly. I'll let you know for sure :) Thanks for all your advices :)

I went to another store and tried the evoke 20 with my audiolab 6000a. It's amazing, I really loved it. It soubds like tower speakers. The salesman is ready to leave them to me for 1900€ and buy me back my triangle comete 902 for 200€. I did not plan to go that expensive but I feel the upgrade...

Yes I did ! A true paradise for me :D Duly noted for the pairing Audiolab/Evoke and also for the price of the Emit II 20. I'm leaving Paris today so I'll try other HiFi stores in Lyon (maybe Borea BR03/difficult to find somewhere to test the R200 unfortunately) I'm not in a hurry, I'll...

I think I may have used the wrong word with "bright" The aria was really good. But it was a bit weird sometimes, for example some male vocals were à bit "pinched" or "metallic" to my taste (at least with the audiolab 6000a). It was very noticeable on cat stevens voice. Unfortunaly, I did not...

Thanks @Romario, I'll try to find a store to listen to the Polk R200. Now that I've seen the difference it makes to listen vs to read about it, I'm sure I won't buy anything without listening. Also, I made a mistake, the Dynaudio Evoke 20 is 1075€ per speaker, and not for the pair :oops: So...

I went to the store today and many learnings (all tests made with the audiolab 6000a) : - listening in store is really an eye opener. It lets you be confident to what you're looking for, because the sound does not lie, even if you have preferences, you'll know why, without listening, it's all to...

I have finally accepted that the Elac were not the best pairing (it took me a while I admit it :D) So I looked into the brands/models you proposed and I now have 3 contenders : - wharferdale denton 85th anniversary (575€) - polk R200 (750€) - focal aria 906 (550€ if the local deal stilll...

Thanks @Romario, very useful link ! Yes, they are currently very close to the wall because I don't have lots of space. I guess the replacement also will be close to the wall btw. OK, I also looked at the polk r200 quite a bit, I'll look if I can find some store thats sells them here in France...

@Romario : I wanted to change the Triangle because I felt they lacked in bass and warmth, they are good but I'm not moved by them and I miss that. As I read that it's the signature sound of triangle speakers, I thought I just needed to find a warmer and if possible "universally recommanded"...

Thanks for your replies. Here are some more info - @AlexanderM : the Monitor Audio Silver 7G are 1200€ here in France so not really an option (550€ for both Elac DBR62 and Aria 906 where I am) even if I find them beautiful and they have great reviews - @Romario : I heard on youtube some...

Hello everyone, Long time reader here, I finally decided to post and ask for your help :) I currently have an Audiolab 6000A wich I'm quite happy with, paired with Triangle Comet 902. I want to upgrade my system and I'm hesitating between two speakers, the Elac DBR 62 or the Focal Aria 906...
