My wife and I wanted to upgrade the speakers that came with the $300 Denon in-line system (m38 ) were delivered. . With Elac speakers alone costing $280 after tax, we were prepared to be blown away. Well, Elac sounds bigger because of the high frequencies. These speakers cast a curtain of high frequencies across the entire soundstage. Unless the source material itself is incredibly detailed (Quincy Jones is back on the chopping block, for example), most recordings, from jazz to rock, sound muted. This works with heavier source material as it cuts out the high frequencies. But rock guitars sound like "velvet" after Elac cuts off the overdrive. If you want Aerosmith's Joe Perry to sound like smooth jazz, choose Elac. After plugging in the small speakers that came with the Denon system, I felt like my earwax had been removed. Also, the bass is a lot tighter with the Denon m38 speakers, which are Glimmer sized, so they're probably worth $50. Can stereo review magazines and blogs provide information on this? Given the advertising revenue from these exotic speaker manufacturers, they can't afford it.
