Strange that the bookies and floor standers have the same MSRP? Edit: Pair vs each. Leaving this here so y'all can shame my reading comprehension skills.

Okay, let's forget I posted this.

Naah, it's OK -- I missed it (too), or (equally likely) I forgot about it.
EDIT: Yup. Forgot. Derp.



oh, that's a familiar lookin' little tweeter

PS I am listenin' to a pair of little ELAC Debut 6.2-whatevers even as I type this (apostate that I am sometimes)! via a soiled solid state 1970s Technics receiver.

Besides the fact that the ELAC tweeter looks like it's bit concave, they're pretty similar.

It appears to me that they've mounted that same little AMT behind a little -- ahem -- waveguide*

Rascals.

They -- umm -- recycled the name, too.

In all seriousness:

1) it'd be cool to hear the ELAC Carina (bookshelves).
2) it'd be really cool to compare them to the new Polk Legend bookshelves (one or the other model) when they become available.
