Elac F-5 Andrew Jones floorstanding speakers

[maximoiglesias]

Any experience with these speakers? Would I notice a real change in sound?

They would definitely sound different... whether you would prefer them or not, no one can say.

If you do try them, I'd love to hear how they compare to those Klipsch speakers.

You would definitely notice a real change in sound.
Klipsch are forward, energetic, "in your face" speakers, IMHO (I chose RF-82 ii and RC-52 ii for my HT). I think they make good Rock speakers thanks to their energy/attacks, but ultimately miss a bit on accuracy if you compare the sounds of acoustic instruments/voices with live.
The Elac B5 I heard was the opposite, sounding dull in comparison to the AA Monitors (which I consider to be largely neutral/accurate).
I also consider the Pioneer FS52 to be a forward sounding speakers (although not so much as the Klipsch).
I hope that might help you decide if you should try them; however, either way, I think it would benefit your ear and quest for your next speaker to give them a trial for a couple of weeks in your home, because it represents a different approach. Just give them some time and listen to a variety of music.
I believe you can buy them from Amazon with a 30 day return policy (return shipping is paid if you return them).

If I do decide to get the Elacs F-5, will let you guys know how they compare with my actual speakers.
The Amazon return policy does not apply for me as I live outside of the USA. So I buy and keep everything I get from Amazon which is where I get all my gear.
