Bottom Line: Since I have a lot of speakers, I keep changing them in my audio setup, but I must say that I have used the EL8s for many years. They have a very well defined midrange and treble clarity for the money and their tonal balance is one of the most refined that I have ever heard. They also have deep bass, but you will most likely "hear" it instead of "feeling" it, I believe other reviewers here already said that and I agree with them. I feel that there's something missing in the bass. I have attempted to use a subwoofer to cure that and found out that it didn't do any help, mainly because, as I said, these speakers Do have deep bass. I guess that there's something missing in the upper bass to the lower mid frequencies region. Other than that, they are real very fine speakers, and if you can find a pair in the used market, maybe you've got yourself a pretty good deal for the money.

Bottom Line: Many loudspeakers are advertised its good treble or bass, but the problem is that they would be lost its unity of timbre(especially B&W products). I was charmed with EL8 that this loudspeakers have uniform timbre from bass to treble and it makes musics more musically.
And EL8 has brilliant mid to high with high resolution and it makes musics sweet and colorful. The only weakness of EL8 is that bass is not strong/thumping. It probably is due to samll paper corn units, but they can produce the lower bass that I can hear, though.
Though it left me 1 year ago, I would't forget that sweet sound of EL8.

Bottom Line: Overall I have really enjoyed these speakers. They have a good clear sound that is really superior to many products in it's price range. These speakers are an excellent buy for anyone who wants great sound and doesn't want to spend $1000+

Bottom Line: I have used Rega EL8 speakers since 1994 with a Rega Brio amp and Rotel RCD 965-BX CD player. The midrange and overall tonal balance is very good for the price. The imaging is not as good as that of the smaller Rega Kyte whose drivers are used by the EL8. The sound does not float free of the speakers as it does in the Kyte. Initially the imagery of the Kyte sounds more attractive but over time the timbral quality of instruments seems better expressed in the EL8.
