Product Information

Watching movies and having the speakers connected to the tv it's a joy..bass goes so low and rumbles, very good bass quality. All in all, the Debut 2.0 B5.2 features an impressive build quality and a modern line that makes it ideal for most environments, from living rooms to recording studios. Design 4.5 Lets see Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 Vs B6.2 Which Is Best? The epitome of reasonable price and high performance are Elac speakers. You should be fine if you’re on a tight budget and struggling to choose between the Elac B5 and B6. By contrasting the Elac B5.2 and B6.2, we will assist you in selecting. Build quality is pleasing, good and solid, and the speakers aren't overly fussy about placement, giving you plenty of options on where to put them. Another good option for audiophiles on a budget, the Yamaha HS5 offers great sound quality and excellent transparency. However, this speaker tends to sacrifice vibrancy and depth for the sake of sonic clarity, resulting in a speaker that’s most suitable for audio engineers than music listeners.

The clue is in the title with these Elac speakers. They boast a slimline design, but that's not all these standmounters have going for them – they're lovely to listen to as well, delivering a glorious spread of sound that's amazingly involving. Placing them near a wall doesn't hamper the soundstage either, which is a godsend if you don't want them encroaching on your floorspace. They also boast a satisfying cohesion between mid and high frequencies.The front ports help eliminate problems associated with placing the speakers against a solid surface Unfortunately, our Installation Service excludes all gas appliances. It is the customer’s responsibility to find a gas safe engineer to connect the appliance. Any work conducted by a third part gas safe engineer will be at the customer’s expense and we will not accept any liability for their work. It is clear from the discussion above that both of these products are among Elac’s best work. First-class construction on these Elac Debut speakers makes them competitive with subpar bookshelf speaker brands.

There are, as usual, mixed opinions on the dustcap. Some people like it, some don't, so on average we have it about right! I changed it because it allowed me to smooth out the top end response of the woofer." From lush orchestrations and energetic drum solos, these speakers can handle everything you play on them and deliver a high-fidelity sound that’s surprisingly good for the price. It is produced in China to reduce costs; if the Debut series were created in Germany, the manufacturer of Elac, it would require less expensive cabinets, drivers, and wiring to make a profit. How long has ELAC been around? Right from the opening of “Space Intro” the circular panning synthesizer effect is completely encompassing and seamlessly transitions from rear to the side to front and across. These qualities make them ideal for a wide range of musical genres, from sparse electronica to experimental jazz. They have the dynamic expression, detail resolution and tonal sophistication to handle it all, and enough stretch in their abilities to get better when the rest of the system is upgraded. So consider them as a future-proofing measure for your hi-fi aspirations.

Desktop impressions:

With speakers that have won awards, the Elac Debut B5.2s make a great first set. As the most vibrant and lifelike speaker in its price range, it is a favorite of audiophiles. Also, this inexpensive speaker is well-built and competitively priced, with the best in its class. Similar to audio created by Onyx Studio 3 and 4, the former will produce sounds with more clarity. Performance

When compared with the Debut 2.0 B5.2, the Diamond 220 has more personality, while the Elac model tends to sound more neutral. Aside from that, they’re both exceptional speakers that’ll upgrade your listening experience. To me, it’s a draw. Debut 2.0 B5.2 vs Yamaha HS5 The compression is rather bothersome, too. Even the MTON distortion when “high passed” at 80Hz is quite high in the midrange. The waveguide on the ELAC B5.2 tweeter is not near as deep as on the previous iteration of the ELAC Debut. This will hopefully be a better match to the woofer, and open up the imaging with some useful early side wall reflections. 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 These speakers prove unfussy about placement. They work best a little out into the room – we start at around 30cm and experiment – but will still deliver relatively balanced results if not optimally placed. Ideally they should sit on rigid stands to get the best sound. Thankfully, the Debuts aren’t particularly fussy about angling in towards the listening position, producing a wide, solid sound stage with little work.In addition, the tweeter comes with an expansive surround that helps extend the top-end performance up to 35 kHz. Furthermore, with the extended waveguide, you can anticipate a sparkling top end minus diffraction modes inherent in standard tweeters. Front Firing Port To avoid booming bass, the manufacturer still advises removing them from walls. Together with redesigned MDF cabinets for simple mounting, these speakers also include ports. The cabinets are equipped with internal bracing to reduce vibration and possible cabinet resonances. 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. I’m a big fan of the SS-CS5, which is why it’s so hard to admit that I prefer the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2. Despite being a three-driver speaker with 50 kHz response, the soundstage offered by the Elac’s speaker feels deeper and more authentic. As with most rivals, the bass is tuned by a reflex port. On the new Debut this has moved to the front panel to make the speakers less sensitive to their proximity to the rear wall, which makes placement easier.
