  • "The Elac BS 184 is a fascinating small speaker. With pressure and level, it conceals its size so successfully that you can hardly believe it. In combination with the high-resolution and pleasant Jet Transformer, it plays so fresh and detached with a proper pep. If you can do without the last bit of low bass and volume, you will find this very variable speaker a cheerful friend for every situation in life and music. ...“
