Personal Review
"Reviewing the ELAC BS 73 Bookshelf Speakers was a mixed experience. While they boast impressive bass response and build quality, the sound can vary significantly based on the receiver used. Male vocals sound rich, but female vocals can be inconsistent. Overall, these speakers offer good value for their price but require careful system pairing for the best experience."
8.8
Bass response on the Elac BS 73 is impressive for bookshelf speakers. They deliver a solid bass floor that's noteworthy for their size and price. Male voices and bass-heavy tracks particularly shine, making them ideal for genres like rock or jazz.
7.5
Treble detail is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the speakers can be bright and detailed, but this can vary significantly depending on your system setup. For instance, they sounded bright with a Denon receiver but warmer with a Marantz system. Female voices can be strident if the setup leans bright, but are manageable if adjusted correctly.
8.5
Midrange clarity is generally good, especially for male vocals. Male voices come through with clarity and depth. Female voices, however, can be a touch dull or overly bright depending on the system's EQ settings. A bit of tinkering might be required to get the optimal midrange quality.
