The German Show - Antwerp Nov '17
Last weekend, I went to hear the Elac Adante series.
Sammy, from Alpha High End, added yet another line to his already impressive list. Sorry, only iPhone pics this time. My audiophile wife did'n accompany me. The floorstanders: http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5153.jpg http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5154.jpg Cabling: Audioquest. http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5163.jpg Power: Audioquest: http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5156.jpg http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5157.jpg |
It wouldn't be a German Show without electronics from that country!

I had no idea about the retail price of these beautifully finished floorstanders.
Without prejudice, I estimated them in the 12-18K category. Very coherent image, quite deep and tight bass. Not the last word in bringing out every minute detail, but still doing a very good job in that respect. Sammy told me then they cost 6K. Of course, the Reference and Top Line Burmester products helped a bit here. But for me, this speaker is worthy of (very) high quality upstream gear. These Elacs will compete with speakers that cost double to triple in my opinion. http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5155.jpg http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5164.jpg |
Going to the next room then.
On my way there some impressions. Sammy always had a lot of headphones, but I see his collection is growing. Audeze? Check! Sennheiser? Check! Focal? Check! Sonus Faber? Check! And so many more. This is only one of the many display cases: http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5165.jpg |
The second system: the Adante Stand Mount Speakers, driven by Burmester again.

The 036:
http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5171.jpg http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5172.jpg The stand mounters were not broken in yet. So I couldn't judge how they will sound at their best. What I can already say though: amazing bass, crisp image (a bit too sharp but that will surely improve with time). Source was also an Innuos Zenith server, playing tracks from Tidal, into the Burmester 099 DAC. Looking forward to hear these again once fully broken in! Price: 3K + 700€ for the stands. http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...e/IMG_5173.jpg |
As always, it is nice to look around in this shop.
Artifacts all around and amazing gear, stacked everywhere. Or just even lying on the floor...
