Well, basically I agree, but: these ELX have a weight of 18.8 kilograms each, they are not cheap, and at Thomann.de all customers who bought them left excellent reviews. If these heavy speakers really bring out less power than the Bose S1, all this satisfaction makes no sense to me.
Another thing I learned a long time ago:
I don't rely on reviews. People hear and see different things than I do. Plus everybody has different needs.
As a general direction yes, but I take them with a grain of salt.
I trust my eyes and ears and I know what I want.
Everybody seems to be an expert on the web these days

Again; if you can; try it for yourself.
Only you can be the final judge.
