These are often on sale. I have used these on different amps in a small ot midsized room. They are not ultra detailed. Still they are most often limited by the amp in budget systems. They can project a sound stage wider than the speakers and have some layering and depth. Imaging is good but not ultra precise. I can tell where everyone is standing or in an orchestra where each group of instrument is with a decent DAC and amp to feed them. They are fairly neutral. As with most budget speakers the bass is limited and better with a sub. However, I can listen to them without a sub and still enjoy the music. Placement is very forgiving. I have the about a foot from the back wall and that gives good imaging and soundstage. Even though they are front ported the bass pre3sence overcomes details next to the walls. Placed straight forward in my room gives the widest soundstage. Towed in improves imaging.
They lean towards an audiophile sound at this price. The Rotel A10 (orA11) seem well matched to them for those who want a more revealing audiophole sound. A NAd C316 Bee V2 is a warmer more forgiving amp. I have also has them on a Aiyiama D03 for music listening in an apartment. They are on a Yamaha currently. The mostly neutral speakers can show the strengths of any amp. I go through a lot of DACs. Thse speakers reveal the difference between DACs and I usually have 2. 1 for soundstage and warmth. The other is for classical music and orchestras where I like more detail and sharper imaging. These are a general do anything speaker. Many speakers have boosted highs and bass and vocal become recessed. These are not that way. I like the tonal balance of these. For some Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, and Vocalists these can have a natural not fatiging sound. Off axis they are pleasant. In the sweet spot, the soundstage and imaging are much better than average as this price point. Value is very high with these.

Using as desktop nearfield monitors
I am using these as a nearfield desktop setup. They are probably overkill, but I don't care, because they sound great! At the moment, I have these hooked up to a Fosi Audio T3. They perform well with this little amp, but I am sure they can handle more power. I will try a couple of other amps later.I have a surround sound setup in my bedroom using Jamo S-803's. These put the smack down on those! The Jamo gets muddy in the midrange and lacks punch. The Elac's have great range through-out and a lot more bass than I expected. I am super impressed with these little speakers.----- Update -----Several hours of listening and tweaking inputs to get it just right. I am really enjoying these speakers. Still sending signal through bluetooth. Used FXSound app to dial in the sound. If you are sending through a laptop/pc, don't forget to turn off all of the virtual sound, bass booster, enhanced sound settings in the bluetooth sound settings as they may throw off how these should really perform.
