ELAC Debut B6.2 Shelf Speaker Black Decorative

I ordered these on an impulse, when the Amazon price suddenly raeduced by 20%, but they were already on my shortlist of three hifi speaker upgrades. I'd researched them based on my needs, budget and what was most suited to the size of my room. The Elacs were the cheapest of my options and I'd planned to demo them all at a hifi shop. Having heard them, the search is over. These speakers provide everything I wanted from the upgrade. I'm hearing a wider sound stage (the music seems to come from behind and beyond the edges of the physical placement of the speakers) and there's good separation of all the instruments and voices. Lots of detail too. Even very dense recordings, such as of whole orchestras, retain a good level of clarity. The frequency range is very good, both the highest notes and a great bass response: solid, well defined and not mushy. I've been using a sub-woofer with the previous speakers but may not need it now. The biggest improvement is in the mid-range: crisper and smoother voices and drums. I also get that hard to define rhythmic quality which tells you all the bits of a recording are in synch and your speakers are getting everything to your ears at the right time. Something else that's hard to define is when speakers are easy, rather than tiring, to listen to. Sometimes you have to work to pick out different bits of a recording but the Elacs serve it all up together with no effort necessary. The previous version of these speakers got excellent reviews but the company still went ahead and created the current model, which is significantly different, even including the design and dimensions of the cabinet. The professional reviews of the 6.2s are excellent. One design feature that may be relevant to potential buyers with limited space is the position of the bass port on the front rather than the back of the cabinet. This allows more flexibility in placement: you can put the 6.2s closer to a rear wall than you generally would. There is a lot of nonsense talked about hifi equipment and we're all hoping to find the bargain which is every bit as good as the kit costing tens of thousands of pounds. The Elac B6.2s are not that, they couldn't be, just exceptionally well designed and put together speakers which are really enjoyable and easy to listen to, as well as amazing value for money.

The ELAC B6.2 Debut 2.0. Out of the box, these speakers have a very impressive build quality. They're so well built, sold and weighty. Once connected to my system, the sound was very impressive. This was a big supprise, as I already have the ELAC Debut Reference, and the ELAC unifi Reference. Both more than twice the price of these speakers. The ELAC B6.2 Debut 2.0 have a balanced sound profile, clear mids, and crisp highs, with an impressive base response. These speakers excel in reproducing a wide range of genres. The addition of a front-firing port enhances the bass response,which is impressive. The B6.2s offer excellent value for audiophiles seeking high-quality sound at a very affordable price. I paid £249.99 before Christmas, a total must at that price. So impressed!

These speakers are phenomenal. They deliver a natural deep base, impressive detail retrieval, crystal clear transparency and a wide open presentation. I've previously owned and auditioned many speakers in the £2K - £3K bracket, and have rarely been this impressed by a set of speakers, let alone at this price. I'm a big believer that you should only purchase HiFi equipment which you can afford to replace. Since the days of spending silly sums of money on HiFi equipment, I've had a career change and earn less than I used to. I'm a lot happier but can no longer justify (to my wife) spending thousands of stereo equipment. So I never thought I'd be able to experience this level of quality again, it's almost unbelievable, these speakers don't feel like a compromise at all. You could easily spend 5 times the price and only gain a 5 -10% improvement, if that. I've previously owned some KEF LS50's, which were phenomenal in their own right and I really think these would give them a run for there money. I certainly don't feel like I'll need to upgrade again. I've only experienced this level of joy when owning a new piece of HiFi equipment a few times in my life. These speakers are so dam good, they make you want to go back and re-listen to your whole music collection. For reference; my set-up includes a Rotel power amp with a Chord Hugo TT.

I wanted some new speakers as an upgrade from my wharfedale 9.1's..... and to pair with my new Denon MD41 dab. The wharfedales sounded fine, but I had an inkling that better speakers might show a bit of an improvement. So after looking at a load of reviews, I thought I'd try these.... And what a revelation they are. Literally. They reveal more detail at all sound levels and, even before running them in fully, have proven to be a more significant upgrade than I had anticipated. I listen at mainly lower volume levels and where the wharfedales sounded a little 'muddy' , these are clearer. In conclusion, these speakers are brilliant and seem very good value to me.

I bought these speakers to replace some very old speakers Leak 2030 . The Leak 2030 had bean a great speakers for many years but finally the wore out and started to make crackling noises. I not sure yet as I have only have had The Elac b6.2 a few days they are almost as good

Ok say i'll start off by saying i'm not an Audiophile, i just like my music and i've been wanting to get some speakers that just enhance the experience a bit. I bought a cheap Marantz SR5200 Amp and I went to Richer sounds and listened to some Monitor Audio Silver 100's (they are £650) and i was blown away, they were amazing, i was picking up detail i'd never heard before in songs i listened too regularly. I nearly bought them then and there but i thought id sleep on it. Went home did a bit more research and eventually came across these, I quickly had a look at some reviews and they were getting rave remarks, looked on here and they were <£300, so i though i'd take a punt though i was willing to accept they'd be nowhere near as good as the silver 100's...... Well it could just be my untrained ear but i'd say these are better, they can replicate lower frequency much more accurately imo (i dont have a sub setup so use these for the bass) there frequency range is very good and it seemingly can produce good bass while also not drowning out the subtleties in things like violins and harps. One thing i will mention is if you are listening to these in stereo mode with no Subwoofer then turn on S-Direct (source direct) if you have it on your Amp you'll get a much fuller sound. All in all these speakers coupled to a cheap Amp (albeit 90W Per channel) are better than any HiFi i've ever owned, got to be worth a punt.

I have had these speakers for a week now. And am I impressed ? I sure am well constructed well designed[Andrew jones] and above all killer sound. They project music very well indeed great bass and fantastic treble. I am using these on my main P/C through witch I play my music and P/C games all hooked up to a SMSL AD 18 amp/DAC. They both work well together. The speakers are not quite run in yet however once done if they sound better than they do at present I will be even more impressed. In my opinion a sub is not required with these speakers bass is well rounded without being to smooth or muddy. At this moment in time I can not recommend these speakers enough [for the price] Very good indeed.

These speakers are made by a German company primarily for their U.S. business. Subsequently, they are not very well known in the UK, and there are only a few stockists over here. They are designed by Andrew Jones, formerly of Kef and Pioneer. He is becoming something of a guru in the U.S. for his brilliant speaker designs, especially his Debut series which have caused quite a stir in hifi circles. These very modestly priced stand-mounted speakers are recognized as giving a sonic performance way higher than their price suggests, and are frequently compared with speakers costing three times as much. I use them in a home theatre setting and I think they give audiophile levels of sound quality. They are undoubtedly a real bargain and are highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!

Y a pas à dire c’est Vraiment une bonne enceinte... équilibrée, dynamique. Pas prise de tête. Un grave surprenant après une petite période de rodage (20h) et une transparence qui surprend comte tenu du prix !!?? Leur inconvénient ? Elle méritent un ampli de qualité. Elles sont branchées à un ampli numérique SMSL AD18 et n’ont aucun problème pour les driver mais je sens qu’elles en ont sous le pied... J’ai hâte de les associer avec qque chose de meilleur et je risque d’être surpris encore une fois... J’avais une paire de KEF R300 qui étaient EXCELLENTES mais manquaient un peu de dynamique et de vie dans la partie medium/aiguë. Ce n’est pas le cas des ELAC B6.2. Chaudement recommandées. PS: j’ai possédé: KEF R300, KLIPSCH R15M (excellente) DALI ZENSOR 3, MISSION LX2

The speakers look beautiful and is solid, heavy and of very good build. Treble is refined, not brash nor tinny and bass extended which belies its small size. Positioning is very important to extract the best bass quality and is very well worth the effort. The pair stands its ground against my venerable Linn Helix LS150 which cost me 4 times more in 1990s dollars. Best of all, I got them at the unbelievable price of less than S$400 without shipping costs. Amazon do have some great offers at times!

I used these Elac speakers to replace my Logitech computer speakers. I've been upgrading my computer systems from cheap speaker to more expensive cheap speakers and never achieving great sound. With the advent of high bit rate YouTube channels, Tidal, Roon, and other high res streaming services, and my own dabbling in recording my vinyl collection, I've come to realize that I have to get out of the good-enough league and join the big league. So adding ELAC speakers to my computer system is the first step. This will no doubt lead to better DACs, better Amps, and ultimately to an entire ELAC home theater system, but I'll worry about that later. These speakers are rated at 44-35,000 Hz. Through a YouTube tone sweep, I have found that my old ears can HEAR the 45Hz-14kHz range. Anything above that is lost to me, so to fill in the low end I've added a Dayton Audio bass shaker to my computer chair, allowing me to feel the 5-45 Hz range. Placed beside my Boston Acoustic CR9s from the late 90s, The Bostons seemed to have a deeper but more uncontrolled bass response. They do have a bigger cabinet, and are rear ported but I could imagine the speaker cone deflecting wildly with the bass it was being asked to reproduce. I would gladly replace the Bostons with the ELACs given the tighter response and control those speakers exhibit. To be fair, BA has evolved over the last few decades as well, so modern Bostons might still be very competitive - but not at this price point. I'm mainly listening near-field - the speaker baffles are flush with my computer monitor. They are very forward and authoritative - The mid to highs show off every flaw in my recorded vinyl (so now I can make a list of recordings I have to fix), but the bass absolutely kicks! For now I'm using a cheap amp - the SMSL AD18 HiFi Audio Stereo Amplifier with Bluetooth 4.2, and the sound is not disappointing. The ELACs seemed a little harsh at first, but as they relaxed, and as I got over the initial 'let's rock these babies' and turned down the volume, they started to sound a lot more pleasant. I love the front firing port so I don't have to worry about placing them up against the wall behind the computer desk. I haven't found many CONS yet. If I wanted smaller ELACs I certainly could have found smaller ones, but not for the price I paid for these. The rubber inserts that hold the speaker grill to the enclosure hold on extremely tightly. If you're the kind of person to remove and replace the grill often, get a soft tool to do the job. The speakers didn't come with rubber feet or pads so I placed mine on some closed cell foam while I look for a better alternative. Otherwise objects on my desk rattle with the speakers at higher volumes.

They're brand spanking new. They came in late yesterday, I got them out of the box and up on the wall today on a floating shelf system also from Amazon. They had to be put pretty high on the wall and I placed them upside down so the tweeter was more at ear level. The power plant is a recently purchased Yamaha R-S202, a very barebones receiver that features the cleanest, fastest power I've ever experienced. The 100 watts per channel @ 8 ohms is supplying more than enough juice for these speakers, so far 2/3 power is confortably loud, 3/4 I've not yet dared to tread. In other words, I have ridiculous headroom. The primary source is a Hiby R3 Pro DAC, also from Amazon which I prefer to feed hard wired, rarely Bluetoothed. The Elacs complete a pretty dreamy sounding stereo system. It ain't high-end, but at under $600 it's amazingly close. Now for the breaking-in. To inaugurate my purchase I started off with a rousing baroque fanfare for organ, brass and tympany from a sparklingly sonic, out-of-print DGG CD called Awake The Trumpet's Lofty Sound, just to let the Elacs know that their primary thrust will be classical. Then I cut loose with some Chicago Transit Authority, and the eponymously titled Pastorius, which sounded comprehensible for the first time. I went on to Up Front from David Sanborn, and Imaginary Worlds by Sammy Figueroa. Big music all, to show off the outstanding immersive power of the Elacs and to loosen up the internal workings of the drivers, an endeavor that will continue for some time. Whereas I will put off complex symphonic selections until the breaking-in process is a little more advanced, I see no reason why something like the Hammerklavier and other super dynamic pieces for solo piano should be excluded. So onwards and upwards, I'm loving these speakers. I'm absolutely blown away by these speakers and I recommend people grab 'em before the price goes up. It has now been around 6 weeks since the Elacs came in. I'm loving them, my jazz and rock sounded great from the start but I'm finding a rather lengthy break-in period to be most valuable, especially for many of my classical selections. I have not gone out of my way to push them hard or for long periods at a stretch, just normal listening. The reviewer who mentioned the shortcomings in rendering classical during a 3 speaker system comparison was absolutely correct. Much material, strings, alto recorders, certain piano notes have sounded initially on the raggedy side. I'm thinking right around the crossover frequencies, the upper registers of the woofer and lower registers of the tweeter. But much of this has worked itself out and continues to work itself out over time. The guy never gave these speakers a chance. With each passing day I grow more impressed and gratified by my purchase, particularly as I see that the cost has gone up by $90. Recently, I have had occasion to push the volume, namely on the beautifully engineered DGG Mutter recording of the Sibelius violin concerto. Wow! Wow! Words fail me. Enough said. At any rate, when I get around to it I'm going to install my other receiver, the 120 WPC Harman Kardon HK3490. After all, if 100 WPC sounds great, etc., etc.. Besides, I want to utilize my graphic equalizer, and the Yamaha lacks a tape loop. So to conclude for the second and final time, these Elacs are definitely keepers. After even an incomplete break-in period the imaging, tonal and dynamic qualities of the system are simply fantastic for their size and price, and just continue to get better still. It's now a little over 3 months of enjoyment with the Elacs. I have switched over to the 120 RMS per channel HK and it has indeed proved a better match, resulting in increased breadth, depth, separation and clarity to the musical program, a much more cogent soundstage and power to (relatively speaking, of course) inspire awe. It truly demonstrates the difference between the loudness of the Yamaha and the all together desirable volume provided by the HK. Additionally, I do believe that in the enhanced amplification of frequencies and timbres the breaking in process has been accelerated. By now only rarely do I hear a wayward tone, so I think the Elacs, after perhaps an overly long period of time can be considered just about broken in. But now that they are I can really appreciate the full capabilities of the speakers, how their innate neutrality of sound allows them to complement so many styles of music and how their power handling enables the experience of total immersion in clean, clear unsullied music. So much speaker in such a small, inexpensive package. Well, I've said all I need to say about these wonderful speakers. This is my final sign-off. My final, final sign-off. Seriously.
