0:39 Yo ELAC was founded in 1926. Close enough :D
yeeeee
Yeah they started making turntables way back in the day....
I laughed out loud. Pretty sure he was trolling to get replys :D
Dude could be wrong all day still ...when it’s you tube.. yea you get the point
I meant in the public eye. Like when I started doing speaker reviews nobody was considering ELAC.. If you don't have a budget entry of a speaker that is decent you don't exist.
The 5.2 are my left right and center channels in my home theater set up and I love them. I love them also cause Amazon screwed up and sent me the bookshelf's along with the center channel when I only ordered the center channel.
That is the super opposite of how Amazon screws my orders up...
I have to agree with it being the opposite of how amazon screws my orders up.

Anthony Martinez did you return it I will report you mate
LOL
These speakers can't be beat when on sale for a good price (especially Black Friday sales). They are gems.
Appreciate the kind words on Polk RTi series, similar front port is small, but rear port you can get a Pizza pie thru and has that unique power plate to deflect the sound, which seems to work. Good Cat person that you are.
I got lucky and live near ELAC's US HQ and was able to score a pair of UB5's at their B-stock sale and love them.
Where you located?
Just purchased these for $149.99 (pair) and the C6.2 for $139.99! I feel like it was a hell of a deal for all three speakers.
Where? Please tell!
Where at that price?
How do you like the C6.2?
Thanks!
Yep! Amazon Black Friday deal!!!
ELAC is a German loudspeaker manufacturer. It was .
Z I have these speakers and they're dope, you crazy for saying "good enough"
The real Elac speakers made in Germany are 1: BS serie stands for bookshelf speakers and 2: FS series stands for floor speakers.
The Elac Adante would be an interesting review. I don't want to say much. You will like the build
Taylor Vancoillie
Crutchfield has a video of them cutting one in half. It is an interesting build.
These speakers sound impressive for the price. I'm glad that the minidsp hd was also mentioned. It is a truly great product.
Zeoooss... update speaker guide pweaseeee
5:10 my favourite Zeos quote xD
I find the look of these speakers to be fantastic.
Frank Winkhorst 🤣🤣🤣
Those 6.2 or the 5.2 on a Desk 20cm from the wall, 1.5 mt apart and 70 cm from me?? The Amp used is the Emotiva BASx A-100. thanks!!
The 6.2's are huge man, definitely way too big for a desk. Get the 5.2.
good to hear about front ported speakers being good for this situation, because I bought the Jamo C103s when they went on crazy sale, and I LOVE them, but I have to have them so close to the wall due to limited space. and I can tell the sound is not nearly as good as it could be, certain frequencies are way louder than everything else. so I've been thinking about getting front ported speakers to solve that problem
why not use an equilzer to down some frequencies?
Ultimate question. Elac 6.2 or the Klipsch RP160 ?
Definitely appreciate them making a front ported pair, I own both the B5 and B6 and switched them out for Polk S15's with the matching center, mainly due to the porting. They are in my office now and I still love them, but had these been out when I got the Polls I probably would have bought them
Do you guys find these speakers to be dark sounding? That’s the impression I get on TH-cam although I haven’t had the opportunity to audition them in real life.
Very dark ... I have them go for q acoustic
Try the Elac Debut DBR62 Reference. Even more impressive!
For the sale price of $150 these guys are fucking amazing.
How to you compare these Elac to the Fluance you also reviewed? Is it any close?
Alain Lamoureux I cannot decide which to buy
Alain Lamoureux fluance ai40 vs elac debut 2.0
chewbacca is such a sweetheart
Ok Zeos, I'm getting these for music. What sub do you recommend? I like more bass, thinking about the BIC PL-200II if I can find a good deal.
You crack me up dude,,, keep up the awesome vids... thanks
These looks pretty nice. Front ports are good for wife acceptance (my wife hates that I HAVE to keep my speakers at least 10 inch from the wall). Still I love my AAM's and don't think I'd trade them for these.
You might not need to "trade"; These are on sale at Amazon for $150 right now if you want to buy them.
In your opinion what is the best $300 book shelf speakers
Very impressed with these speakers. Are the SVS Ultra bookshelves noticeably better?
Today, Nov 21, 2018, these are on sale at Best Buy. $149.95. That's 50% off. I'm picking up a pair this afternoon.
last comment - it is the limited bass that makes them sound cheap to me, and I agree they do not look that very attractive. The screens on is the cover that makes them look boring, but less ugly.
The front port and the redesigned tweeter is what really sold me on these. You’re right they are great for HT with a sub in the mix, the imaging and soundstage are above their price point IMO. Also I got mine for $279 at B&H on special.
like 97db per 1 watt against 89db for average other speakers and for every 3db its 2 times as loud so its exponential too
How can I get back the bubble of the base driver?
Does this speakers need break-in? if so, how long? I shouldn't go there.
I heard them in a small room and there was plenty of bass, I'm planning on buying them for my desk but I'm not sure about them nearfield, did you test them that way?
I don't know the answer to this question, but these are on sale at Amazon for $150 right now if you want to buy them.
There is so much going on in that room its insane. How do you deal with the rattling?
Til the sweat drop down my balls. Z, you never disappoint.
Forever etched in my mind as the ELAC Sweaty Ball Debut
Well that didn't take long.. You disappointed now?
For Elac's Debut 2.0 B6.2 would you recommend Onkyo A-9010 or Onkyo A-9050?
Bought a pair from Crutchfield 3 days ago and I'm already breaking them in. Now backoredered. Then they ran out and bought a pair from Audio Advisor, but they are backordered also. Really an improvement over my 4 Pinnacle AC-650 which are 30 years old. I bet the next killer from Andrew Jones will be a Uni-Fi B6, with a 6.5" woofer and a front port. The B6.2 have a front port and I need that having the speakers on a shelf. I only have a hour on the new 6.2s, but the treble is a little weak. I'm using an EQ now. Maybe the high end will open up. These things must be the value of the century. I'm using my Marantz 19 with 50wpc, but I'll be hooking up my Parasound HCA-1000a with more power.
B&W set the tone for putting ports in the front.
They are on sale right now for $150 at Amazon , most of the line is on sale at half price. The 6 inch at least and the subwoofer
Dt sm 45/55 vs elacs b52/62. Whos gonna win without additional sub? Q3020i's are also in this line of potential buy. What do you think?
Awesome review, Zeos. How would you compare these and the Klipsch RP-150M’s. I’m between those for my living room unless there’s something else you would recommend.
These are $150 now on Amazon and Crutchfield.
@@TownspersonB From what I saw online earlier today, these Elacs will be on-sale til Nov 26th (and they're showing for $199 on Amazon now)
Just get them!! They sound really good
@@corkydukeII5898 They are back to $150 on Amazon. MusicDirect has them at that price, too... as well as Crutchfield, who have sold out but allow customers to purchase them at the $150 price. Crutchfield will ship the speakers when they get more in stock.
@@mattrismatt Thanks for the heads up matt. That's a great price! I still might pull the trigger on 'em, but those Monitor Audio Bronze 2's really got me thinking too!
Audio Advisor is also out of stock. These are going to sell like hot cakes. Thousands and thousands. I bought two pair for bookshelf placement. Better than Uni-Fi because of the front port.
I agree with Zeos in terms of was t a buzz in the audio world 5 years ago, and the answer is no to the buzz of elac 5 years ago. However working for Magnolia Audio Video Design Center here in the Greater Philadelphia area Best Buy gives us info sheets with state that elac has been around for many many moons and I'm sure Zeos knows that. Very good reviews! I've owned my debut 2.0 since the end of March beginning of April since they shipped. Very happy don't care if they start on fire with my emotiva xpa gen 3. And if they do who cares they're dirt cheap!
I just got the Elac Debut 6.2's on black Friday for $149 from Amazon. going to unbox today (finally) and give them a try...
Me too.... 💘 them..!!!
Enjoy them here in Australia the thiefs are all selling them for not less then 600AUD.
what amp did u used with these 2 little good guys?
What speakers would you recommend at the moment for a computer setup lots of desk space
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
oh dude your reviews are a breath of fresh air. Classic shit love it. I've hit subscribe
Do you get a lot of noise complaints when you do your speaker reviews?
No he doesn't look at his svs pb 16 ultra review where explains it :)
Hey Zeus, have you tried the Monoprice Monolith subs? I'm really on the fence between the monolith 10" and the SVS PB-1000s.
Lol Monoprice vs SVS is like Chevy vs Rolls Royce.
graphicism It seems you don’t know the new Monolith subwoofer line from Monoprice. Everyone that has compared it to the 1000 line up from SVS has said they’re quite comparable and the FR goes lower than the 1000 series. They’re also on par with the budget line from Rhythmik.
Before criticizing lookup Monolith 10 vs PB-1000 on google and you’ll see avsforum, Audioholics and many other reputable websites praising it.
Bruno Yuji Yeah I'm sure they sound alright. But we're comparing years of dedicated audio engineering vs "yeah, I guess it would be cool to make a subwoofer".
I'm not saying SVS isn't miles ahead of Monoprice in audio engineering, but that doesn't mean Monoprice can't just hire very good audio engineers, reverse engineer Rhythmik's subwoofer designs and make something that can sound as good as SVS subs for a lower price. DIY subs can sound better than subs from actual companies what's to prevent a newer company from also making a very good sounding sub.
I was also super skeptical about the Monolith sub series, but after reading all these reviewers praise it and even choose it over the budget options from super high end sub manufacturers you have to admit it's pretty impressive. The Monoprice Monolith subs also got THX certification which was only given to mostly high end expensive subs, so the "yeah, I guess it would be cool to make a subwoofer" is not really on point.
Anyway I hope Zeus gets his hands on them and reviews them, because clearly nothing I say here will change your mind about it and you probably won't bother to look it up at all.
@@graphicism SVS is WAY overrated.
ELAC B6 Debut Series 6.5" $230 Amazon paired with a Yamaha R-S202BL Stereo Receiver $150. Do you know of a better stereo set up than this? Any powered speakers can match this for under $400?
Jbl 305 probly
The company is over 90 years old. Been around fooor eeeevvv er (sandlot style)
Great review! Would love if you review the Q Acoustics 3020i or 3010i. Much sexier than the Elacs!
3020 sound many a times better than these ... I realized when I did the a n b testing
Started out the video with some Run the Jewels hell yeah
Thoughts on these vs the Klipsch R-51M?
Z and chewbacca made my day. Z you are just the one to hear.
What are you using for a player on your tv. Thank u
How should it work pairing this speakers with the cxa61 Cambridge Audio?
Have you listened to Polk S20’s? Not many reviews on them but they definitely look better than the ELACs.
I wonder if they sound better? I have the Signature series in my living room and am stuck in whether to go Polk again in my office or these Elacs
In my opinion. Not only does the Polk Audio S20's look better than the ELACs. They actually sound better. Comparing the 2 it was almost as if the ELACs were missing something. Something in how Andrew Jones tuned them is different.
I have both now. The Elacs are little brighter, but are very natural sounding. They did take some break in time.
The Polks are soothing and soft I can listen to them all day. The Elacs my ears with start to fatigue but in a good way. Loving action flicks and records on the Elacs. I really like having both. They are so different. The Polks are beautiful and The Elacs don’t look as nice, but they are still made well .
Those are the VR-4 you can listen all day and marvel. Top end of 34,000 Hz just like my Tandberg TD20A SE 2 track 15 Reel to Reel for masters and 2nd Generation masters.
"shooting air", reminds me of the PSB 400's I used to own back in the day
Any suggestions for 2 rear and 4 height speakers to complete my 7.2.4 system? I currently have 2 paradigm Millenia 200’s for my towers, and 3 Millenia 20’s for my centre and sides. Thanks for the help!
The Elac Uni-Fi UB5 are available in white.
Klipsch speakers have a way higher power to decibel ratio then most speaker thats why they are loud
Man this review is on my alley! xd
These for 150$ or sx6 fluance for 75$?? Help plz
sooo.. I got the B6 Debut already, what would ya recommend to buy if I wanted to do 5.1 with them? I just have them at stereo atm
Jack Black record this.... This is a informative video and hilarious!
What's your opinion on Dolby Atmos set ups? Couple people I follow were going crazy over it. But, they're casuals not real audiophiles. That shit like $500 for the sony one when you include the rear speakers, so obviously not in a hurry to personally test lol
😁👍👍 great stuff, had me rolling the whole review, much needed.
Do you have a relationship with klipch? Id love to hear a review from you on their R-28F.
So this vs the r15m which do you say is better?
hi, thank you for doing what you do. I have a dilemma, i struggling to get a good music source, but not relying on solely streaming. Is there a device that I can download tidal hi-res, then play it via cables to an amplifier (not streaming)? Thank you for making time.
They will be good without a sub in a small room ?
Where is the mentioned comparison vs SVS Ultra Bookshelves?
One speaker blue and the other one red? omfg... my OCD couldn't handle that.
Hey Zios, ELAC B6.2 or Whatfdale Diamond 10.1?
For 5.1 and Music 🎶
Hello Guys, Do you have at least 3 alternatives to the Elac 6.2 speakers? Im looking for some passive speakers on the market ...
RB42 RB42 RB42
These are on sale at Amazon for $150 right NOW.
crazy price! best bang for 149.98 bucks.
This elac is better than jbl studio 230?
Good review. Thanks for giving it to us straight. But pretty much any speaker needs a subwoofer, so we should already have one! Edit: Okay, I bought these. I had the Fluance signature bookshelf speakers, and these Elac's absolutely demolish them. Very very impressed. And fwiw, I find these speakers to have enough bass to warrant using without a sub.
Best review i ever heard, and nice kitty
I think it is MUCH less bass- y. You need a subwoofer. The older models are more low end better which I like better for bedroom audio..
, I have the Polk Rti6.5 speakers on my porch. They sound pretty good.
Got them at a pawn shop for only 80 bucks for the pair. They normally run 200 to 300 a pair new
Elac has been around over 90 years from a video I saw
Your neighbors must detest you!
I bought the Dynaudio LYD 7 and wife thinks it's $200 ;)
2:52 Run the Jewels Album: It might have been well recorded. Unfortunately it didn't make it through the mastering process. Too much dynamic range compression and clipping: www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/60xbvz/mastering_gore_run_the_jewels_2/
Does this guy ever talk about midrange?
link to yardsale or wherever you host it?
Walls, windows, windows and walls I love it HAHA! As soon as you said walls and windows I already had the song playing in my head and then you flipped em' and said over and I lost it haha :P
z: can't even get 2 fingers in there
me: fuckin perfect!!!
great review! Thanks. Did you have a chance to audition q3020i? If yes how do they compare?
Hey Zeos! Great review but if you have to pick one between uni fi b5 and b6.2 for 12x20x8 living room? Home theater 45% music 55%
Hi z, need your recommendation for a desk use speaker! I have jbl studio 530 but it's in the living room duty, Am considering this b6.2 or q acoustic 3020..
Q acoustic aesthetic wins for desk use..
Is b6. 2 be good for near field?
Will I be missing much if I go with qa 3020?
These or Monitor Audio Bronze 2?
Z, what about these: Elac F6.2 Debut 2.0 Floorstanding Speaker ??
How these perform with classic heavy metal?
Nobody tests speakers with heavy metal...
I know it's two years later but 1. Came across a review on Amazon recently with a guy that owns the floor standing version of these and he says that's mainly all he listens to and it sounds great. 2. I asked a question to the owners if these sounded good with rock music and they all said basically absolutely.
How do they compare with Ohm Walsh 2000? With the Aperion Super Tweeters added?
How much will they be in the sale?
the fuck you talkin about the bass out of these is perfect
$300? Woah!!
Because of my geographyc location these babies end up costing around $500
BTW, how are the b4's??
These are on sale at Amazon & Crutchfield for $150 right now.
