#144 Elac BS 314 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A stand-mount with a 7” AS-XR woofer and ELAC’s JET folded-ribbon tweeter. Sensitivity is 87.5dB. Measurements show a preference score of 3.28 that reaches 6.66 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.41 listening window deviation. Measured bass extension of 128.9Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The on-axis response is uneven (1.02 average deviation), and the load is 4 ohms. ELAC no longer makes it. Bass reaches 128.9Hz (-3dB) and about 69Hz (-10dB). That data is low quality. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: MartinLogan Motion 35XTi - 4.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: JBL 4429 - 3.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
