Earcheck ...Two things surprised me, right after unpacking, ie at the first short check: First, it sounded quite "developed", although the release time of the brand new boxes at this time exactly "zero" respectively. Secondly, I would perhaps - as it is for converters from the house ELAC would not untypical - a trend expected to accelerate slightly fresher. Aha, interesting times already ... After a few days time and the release of some listening test routinely inserted CDs, I wanted the ELAC FS 67 initially with Badawis Album Of The Heretic Either closer feel to the tooth:
The Jerusalem-born, sold under the Bedouin live, and now residing in New York musicians Raz Mesinai serves on The Heretic Of Either impressively virtuosic hand drums of all Arab, Persian or African origin (such as the Darbuka or dumbek, most likely still in the well-known here, coming from Latin America Congas out of shape but down significantly narrower waisted or lost). Besides a santur (a form of zither), but also bring "western" instruments such as cello and violin are used.
The play Enter The Heretic gets tonally very complex: Rich bass runs, the metallic sound of cymbals (an instrument in the form of two plates, with comparable Hi-Hat/Becken) and cello are said here (among others) to hear and claim almost the entire frequency range. Overall, therefore not an easy job for a speaker - which ELAC FS 67 but surprisingly good solves: Clearly, the maximum attainable SPL is now directly dependent on the volume of air that can be squeezed, and the 67 FS tolerate 14er with its two drivers, particularly in such intense bass pieces no orgies level, it was at this point already said, but characterized them in moderate volume levels below rum amazingly clean - and deep. Yes, quite well integrated, and contoured to the lower layers. But above the small white rum ELAC to like: cold, undue insistence or analysis gives the tweeter sometimes no the rhythmic play of cymbals gets even expressed the body's term, sufficiently dissolved, and almost a little bit less jagged-agile than I am normally accustomed. Even the Santoor, which on the CD even devoted a separate piece and this was almost to a (metallic sounding and with a long reverberation stocked) Piano remember is - when it's on the FS 67 goes - any unpleasant hardness or severity alien. Very pleasant and enjoyable timbriert it acts much more ... At this circumstance is gratifying but certainly also the middle section is not entirely "innocent": Particularly since the - in comparison to the deeper santur tonally based - Cello also pleasantly warm, full-bodied and sonorous term device and beyond the sonic texture in a fairly sensitive way refined. JYes, I already did the previous "Einhören" confirmed impressions gained from Enter The Heretic anew - an apparently very pleasant, "musical" contemporary, this small speaker stand ...
In terms of stage is the ELAC FS 67 again does not get burnt and fans in the width that's how I generally good converters usual and am limited in my mind is somehow in the amount - say, one has the feeling that the figure extends to the top not too far out of the boxes out. The music dissolves but otherwise impeccable style from - a pleasant room-filling device is, without a frontal approach to the game day one. Sufficiently positioning sharp, though not razor sharp outlines, the display units also confusing during music passages's never run a risk in any kind of clumping or otherwise as to be indecent. ConclusionTo get it in a sentence to the point to bring the ELAC FS 67 is one for the money is completely amazing and mature-sounding converters, the figures required by its Allürenfreiheit and his gait is balanced and certainly demanding listeners will satisfy. The word "audiophile" is associated with the ELAC FS 67 in any event, anything but an inappropriate term.
Only listeners who are in the level of the brute need often times (here it comes sometime to distortions in the bass range) or a sparkling stresses / offensive in mid-range value set (eg fans crisp, direct guitar riffs), may perhaps have little to grumble . However: With speakers, who - in this price class - this may take longer, probably will be moved to make his sacrifice. Anyway: I like any event of this converter very well - a "smart" contemporary, yet at times at the beginning of this report back ... Last but not least: 30sqm rooms up and just forget it, the FS 67 no unsolvable challenges. Hörabstände two meters up well enough. "Fast" and in the middle of jungle alive transistor amplifiers seem to me highly recommended partner must. The ELAC FS 67 are characterized by ...

Nevertheless, I wanted to major in mid-field in more detail under the microscope take.
Also guitar runs - as the Western guitar in Current 93 s "Then Kill Caesar" (Album: Black Ships Ate The Sky) - are now not very springy-tight or perlender nature, but tend more relaxed style.
