LAAS 2017

Veteran loudspeaker designer Andrew Jones (KEF, TAD and now ELAC) explains how he's managed to create the new floor-standing Adante loudspeaker that produces robust, well-controlled bass for $5000 a pair.

Driven by modestly priced Audio Alchemy electronics, the speaker's overall seamlessness and ability to play at high SPLs rivaled that of far more expensive speakers.

The top end in this demo of the not yet finalized design was somewhat recessed but the room's 80Hz "bump" could be playing a part there. Overall though,, amazing sound for not that much money.
