Upgrading from Soundsticks

Check out Kali Audio as well

Oh that's right, those were among the speakers I looked for too but I didn't find any around my area. Thanks for the reminder, I'll keep an eye out.

Oh that's great! How's the bass on them?

I'm not after earth-moving bass like a club, I'm sitting on my ass working from home. But the kind of music I listen to, some tight bass would be nice.

Whatever I get will probably be an improvement to the old Soundsticks.

The bass is well-defined. My memory is that it crossed well at 60 Hz with a subwoofer but left the perception of lower bass output when crossed at 50 Hz with the subwoofer. I heard the Polk ES20 for a short time and think it may go lower than the ELAC. Consider auditioning the Polk ES20.

I found a pair of used Polk ES20 on Amazon for $311. Maybe I'll order and give them a try. At least I can return them...

I would get Wharfedale 12.1 if passive.
