A/B switching them with some Martin Logan Motion bookshelves shows a lot of the differences in tone and sensitivity, as the MLs are certainly louder and brighter at the same volume level.
That said, the ELACs are much more versatile, respond flatter, and are much less fatiguing. Being a full range bookshelf certainly helps with the mix of media I put them through. I have thousands of hours with mine and can't imagine replacing them. The resources were spent on the internals versus the aesthetics. A great value when I bought them, a fantastic value now.

I also have the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 which seem be much easier to drive. I haven't tried swapping them in the same room but they seem to be a better deal especially when they're on sale for <$200.
Either one definitely benefits from having a sub though not as much in a smaller room if just listening to music.

The Debuts are warmer and better for music IMO, especially acoustic stuff. Excellent price: performance ratio. The UniFis should be a lot better for HT, though they're also harder to drive. Check the specs on your AVR/amp before going in.
These are also at a lot of Best Buy demo rooms, so you can probably give them a shot before buying if you're near one.
After a year and a half I moved to Emotiva B1 speakers and C1 center and it was unbelievable how much better it was. Completely happy now, can't believe I wasted a year plus on the Elac. Same receivers too, no change other than speakers and worlds different results.
If needed for music use I'd say these speakers are a great deal, if HT I'd avoid.

I know they are supposedly 6ohm so easier to drive. Anything else really?
