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.

There's no way in real usage, you can exceed even the most modest 3116 class D chips.
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?
I resisted buying these last time waiting to see if a good deal would come on the 5.2s, but I bit on the 5s this time.

If the 5.2s were in the low $300 range I probably would have just sprung for them blind. At $200 vs $400+ though, it's a bit harder of a sell.
The 5.2s are back to full price now which is why I just went for the 5s. But I wanted to see if anyone thought it be worth returning the 5s and just continue to wait for the 5.2s.

Overall I like Elac. Had the sub 1010 for a couple of years as well. For $119.00 it was very good.

Three way for this price isn't bad at all.
Add this and you have an excellent $500 music system:
