Speaker pair Eltax Monitor IX

In a series of Monitor today there are five models (including the center channel speakers). Monitor IX headed family. It is significant that even the flagship series is strictly two-band, low-frequency and mid-range pair voiced in phase up to 2.5 kHz. Both six-inch bass/midrange drivers have a common acoustic design. Traditionally, much attention is paid to improving the rigidity of the hull. There are non-removable tapered legs, under which, for safety flooring would be nice to put a protective washers (not provided in the kit).

Pictorial manner Eltax Monitor IX wants to be called "melody" - as opposed to, for example, is quite common among relatively inexpensive floor speakers "power". Sound carries primarily natural plastic musical lines and transitions. In musical images - at least "sharp corners" and "thresholds". Accurate softness clear treble, bass weight like roundness raised to the rank of sound style. Coloring picture light, the atmosphere light, airy. Structurally, midrange and treble stronger clearer than bass, but some uncertainty of the latter may affect only when playing "thin" bass fragments of classical music. Have a high measure of natural sounds such instruments, such as flute, oboe, acoustic guitar. Vocals not dirty "glandular" HF hues - intonation are without pressure. Good system manages to convey a dynamic musical fabric microrelief; music pauses in silence image becomes cotton, audible, "unobserved preparation" for orchestra fortissimo. Most sharp peaks and spikes "in vacuum tube" smoothed.

Eltax Monitor IX is beautifully conveys almost the entire range of musical forms, but especially those whose content is not based on "force the moment". Loved her performance chamber classic. Good play in small and medium-sized in the room. Set of two pairs of "monitors" can be recommended for use with multi-channel DVD-recordings.
