Elliot once told me (years ago) that if you really want your speakers to sound great it takes hard work!I agree. His designs sound good but are not the most elegant solutions. Ask him to demo a pair of his speakers next time you’re in Long Island. He will begrudgingly hook them up, run into the back room, come out 20 minutes later hoping you’ve left, turn the music on and meekly stand there as your face cringes, eyes blink and ears wonder why they sound the way they do. Then you will tell him there’s too much treble or bass or that the image is flat – and he will tell you these are the best components and yours are bad and you don’t know what you’re talking about.
He once sold me speakers using his branded drivers. I opened them up to find each crossover used different cap values to the tweeter. He told me he ran out and used the closest match and that I wouldn’t hear a bit of difference.
His cabinets are very thick and solid. His veneer is not always flat on the box. Yours may bubble like the ones he has on display. By his own admission, if you want your speakers to sound great it takes hard work!
