Strength:

now i found the rite amp..bass is solid yet incredibly smooth and hits the lowest possible till the sub needs taking over midrange from these is very good conciderin they r not clarity speakers and the treble stands out sharp and all 3 tweeters give a diffrent sound which the technics didnt produce nice looking speakers with a powerful look without bein dissapointed to listenin to them.

Weakness:

only weakness is with the clip bindin posts which i treated thes to a bi-wireable post with gold terminals and has made a diffrence.

when i purshaced these speakers i played em on a low budget system and was still amased at the sound from a 20wpc amp recently i upgraded 2 a technics surround reciever deliverin 80wpc and the diffrence was a bit crap didnt like the technics so a few months later got a yamaha suround reciever (recomend to n e 1) deliverin only 75wpc but this semed to double what the technics would offer..i belive the c205 need a certain range of amp and now the bass is controlled and the mid stands out with no loss of treble so any one who has c205 that dissagress with their quality get a more suitable amp this is nothin 2 do with price just they work better on some than others and believe me u wont be dissapointed..

Strength:

Clean sound. Handle enough power for any room without blinking

Weakness:

Interesting cable attatchment mechanism.

Having read reviews I finally went for floorstanders by offloading my Mission 701's (Nice speakers themselves) to my parents, who needed bookshelvers. Richer were out of stock, so they recommended som alternatives, each week I took their latest recommendation back (went through three sets) and then they got some c205's in. From the moment I fired them up they were celarly better than any of the previous "offerings". When run in they give nice smooth bass, clean midrange and a crisp top end. I am sure they are helped by having a Mission 70AS subwoofer taking the bottom strain though. I went through enough pairs to recommed these speakers :o)

Strength:

So obviously crap from the first visual inspection, only suckers like myself (when I was a naive student) would buy them.

Weakness:

Boomy - can't hear any midrange. Treble - what treble? I think the crossover must be very poor. Too many drivers. Not heavy enough! :) No padding, transmission line, or box strengthening inside - empty box!! Poor drivers and case workmanship. Nasty vinyl covering. Nasty spring cable clips (mine popped out of the box!!!). No spikes. Incorrect box-volume for size of drivers (not deep enough due to not being of transmission-line design) Not anywhere near worth the 'cheap' £80 price tag.

DO NOT BUY THESE LOUDSPEAKERS. If you buy any Eltax loudspeakers, buy from the Liberty range.

Strength:

extremly bassy

Weakness:

hardly no midrange tweeters are very poor

overall the loudspeakers are very dissapopinting with the sound which they produce,they have there stregths but the weakness''s take over the amount of good things about the speakers.It depends on what music you like to listen to if you like the club music these are the speakers for you as they have a very punchy bass.If you are the type for layed bac kind of music then these are dissapointing they have bad tweeters and very poor midrange.

Strength:

Very affordable, look good, will work with almost any amp.

Weakness:

Not over furnished in the power department.

With 90w of power, these dynamic floorstanders from Eltax are superb for all types of music. These speakers will work well with most amps and give a huge sound for a small price. Although the century series from Eltax is older and less modern and sharp, then the new millenium or liberty series, the C205 is the bick of the bunch and has been a success possibly because it is basic and reliable. I have not known anyone, inlcuding myself who has ever had a problem with any aspect of these loudspeakers.Nowadays one might sometimes find a brand new pair of these beauties for as little as £70 and pass them by because the price is to good, which indicates sloppy workmanship, unreliability or incompatibility-DON'T MAKE THIS ERROR. By adding one pair of one of the models in Eltax Century series instead of your plastic loudspeakers, you can be sure to have a new sound experience with you stereo system.

Strength:

They sound like a set of 400 pound speakers for about a 7th of the price, The Bass is phenomenal and the Mid ranges are clear and precise

Weakness:

Cost 40 pounds to deliver, other than that the only ting i can think of is the finish with is a black coating of something, But can sand down and re-paint i suppose

Eltax C205, Wow i think that will suffice
