ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 Bookshelf Speakers, Black (Pair)

Product Information

Elac's engineers have done a decent though not class-leading job here.The B5.2 aren’t quite as forgiving of partnering electronics as either the Q Acoustics 3020i or Dali’s Spektor 2 due to a presentation that leans more towards analysis than smoothness or warmth. Any shortcomings of the partnering electronics aren’t hidden, but thankfully, not exaggerated either. These speakers merely reflect the quality of the signal fed to them rather than try to sweeten it. In the vast majority of cases we will not be able to install the cabinet doors to built-in laundry products as the fittings very rarely match up. We will try our best however if we are unable to do this we will still install connect to plumbing and put the appliance in situ. The boost at 240Hz finishes off the flattening of the bass response, but can be ignored or turned down if there is a muffling of vocals which can happen with close boundary placement. Debut 2.0 B5.2 features 5-Way Metal post type connectors. Bi-amping and Bi-wiring are not possible.

Want a step-up model? Award-winning B&W 600 S3 speakers get their first-ever deal – and guys, it's a good one If you want a faithful representation of what the rest of your system can do, the Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers will deliver just that. Tonally they don’t have the sweetness of the Q Acoustics or the luscious midrange warmth of the comparable Dalis, but they’re even-handed and admirably balanced in the way they deal with poorer, more aggressive recordings. They pull ahead of both rivals when it comes to insight and composure.The results were outstanding: not only could I hear every element joining the ethereal soundscape of the composition, but also the ambiance reached a new depth, increasing the song’s depth and poignancy. Tartalom személyre szabása Ezek a sütik lehetővé teszik számunkra, hogy az Önről rendelkezésre álló információk alapján tartalmakat és hirdetéseket jelenítsünk meg Önnek, hogy a lehető legjobban ki tudjuk elégíteni az Ön igényeit. Ez legfőképpen ahhoz kapcsolódik, hogy milyen tartalmat tekintett meg, illetve milyen eszközzel lépett be az oldalunkra. Everything about Debut 2.0 has been improved, including completely redesigned custom drivers that deliver greater accuracy, and robust cabinets for even higher resolution and freedom from resonances. The compression is rather bothersome, too. Even the MTON distortion when “high passed” at 80Hz is quite high in the midrange.

Közönségmérés Ezek a sütik lehetővé teszik számunkra, hogy optimalizáljuk oldalunkat az Ön kényelme érdekében az Ön használatának módja alapján. A cél az, hogy emlékezzünk vagy előre jelezhessük a választásaikat. Ide tartozik például a funkciók használata, elhelyezkedése, viselkedése az oldalon. We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture. Speaker Cables with Banana Plugs: If you know the lenght of the cable you need, this is the easier option to connect your speakers with your amp. Moreover, the B6.2s are unfussy when it comes to volume. All components have a sweet spot, with trade-offs in expression the louder you go, but Elac has managed to avoid the life being sapped from its speakers when played at low volume. It’s just another sign you’re getting a more grown-up pair of speakers than the price tag would suggest. Great sound demands a solid cabinet, and Elac’s engineers did not take any chance when it comes to laying the foundation for these attractively-priced speakers. Just like the former B5 version, the B5 2 cabinet is made of rigid MDF, which is specially designed to minimize resonance and unwanted cabinet distortion. And as if that’s not enough, the cabinet includes single-wire terminals for easy connection with your amplifier or receiver. What we like

Grill:

This is an open and well-balanced frequency range, free to reach high into the treble and deliver ample bass without forcing any more than is comfortable. If you want more low-end, you’ll need a bigger cabinet; these Elacs aren’t going to pretend they’re bigger than they actually are, at the expense of transparency. They have the dynamic expression, detail resolution and tonal sophistication to handle it all, and enough stretch in their abilities to get even better with a system above their natural price range. Rivals may give you a little more richness and texture, yet the Elacs are admirably balanced in the way they deal with poorer or more aggressive recordings, smoothing things out nicely and soothing the faults and flaws with a mature, even-handed touch. Another strange artifact of the felt as smoothing out the measurements, the jaggy results usually seen on my treble measurements are from the sound bouncing off of the front baffle of the speaker To make room for the bigger parts on the board the resistors have been swapped out for some with a vertical form factor. So if you’re looking for a speaker upgrade for a budget micro system, these probably aren’t it. On the other hand, these Elacs will only limit anything too high up the food chain. Transparency is all you might ask of a piece of hi-fi equipment, but it comes at the cost of having to be careful just what it is showing up.

One of the natural alternative to the ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 is the Debut 2.0 B6.2 which is located one step higher in ELAC's Passive Bookshelf selection. The B6.2 has a frequency range of 44 Hz to 20 kHz. The Elac B5 will have better treble quality with poorer bass than the B6 within these frequency response ranges. ELAC claims that this increases the unit’s frequency responsiveness to operate more smoothly in the driver’s passband. To get the ELAC B5.2 sounding good you can either turn down the treble knob down on your receiver a little and crossover to a good subwoofer at 80Hz, or use the DSP correction below. Közösségi hálók sütijei Ezek a sütik lehetővé teszik számunkra, hogy kényelmesen összekapcsoljuk Önt a közösségi média profiljával, és például lehetővé teszik, hogy termékeket és szolgáltatásokat osszon meg barátaival és családtagjaival.The Debut 2.0 B5.2 offers excellent value for money. It’s a great option for those who’re just entering the world of high-fidelity, but even more experienced audiophiles will be surprised by how transparent the sound coming out of these speakers is. The Elac Debut 2.0 B6 2 is an upgraded version of the B5 2 mentioned above, and just like the latter, it doesn’t disappoint. Furthermore, the B6 2 is equipped with larger woofers to ensure that you get enhanced mids/bass and reduced distortion levels. The built construction is also more robust than its predecessor, plus it is aesthetically pleasing. Product’s Highlights and Features New Aramid Fiber Woofer

While many have poo pooed the aesthetic changes of the drivers in this speaker series, I find the changes to be mostly positive.Carlo graduated from Sheridan College with a degree in Classical Animation and was subsequently employed by Walt Disney Consumer Products for 10 years as a Character Artist and Art Director. Having become disenchanted with Los Angeles, he then decided to strike out on his own. Carlo started his own company and has been freelancing artwork, from his home studio, primarily for the toy and publishing industries since 2001. I'm pretty sure people calling this speaker bright are expecting it to perform based on the specs, and there is no way this speaker has anywhere near flat extension to 46Hz as claimed by the specs.
