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

These are excellent as the L/R front speaker pair in my surround system. For best result, position the tweeters at ear level when seated at the listening position. Also, before you judge the sound quality, allow about 20 hours of playing time at moderate levels for the speaker components to loosen up. This is important! Also, start with the speakers facing straight ahead. Then begin to slightly toe in the speaker to fine tune the imagining, to your taste, if needed. One final point. Make sure your amp/receiver has at least 50 watts per channel of power to properly drive this speaker. Most good quality equipment will have no trouble driving these 6to8 ohm speakers. With some initial care during setup, you will enjoy these speakers. Ive owned several pairs of this series of Elacs and have been very happy. Dont obsess over the hardware, just sit down and ENJOY THE MUSIC. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I switch these out with my Paradigm Monitors 5s... These are fantastic and I tend to prefer them over much the higher priced Paradigms.

Excellent value, great sound for the money. I use them for TV speakers mostly but they sound pretty darn good for music too.

The 2.0 s would have nice to know about when I got the 1.0 especially for $20. I am not happy at all.

HI quality, low price!

excellent bookshelf speaker!!! I compared them with the higher priced 6.2 and found these more suitable I have four of them in a large room and am very pleased with balance, range and clarity

Great sound for a bookshelf speaker, and a super value!

Not bad for the price

Extremely happy with these speakers. Spent a lot of time researching and almost pulled the trigger on KEF/Klipsch because I had the budget and thought the aesthetics were better. The ELACs look a lot better in the flesh than in marketing/catalogue images and I like the old school look. Living in an apartment the front porting is important and I have these flush against the wall. Paired them with a new Yamaha WXA-50 and this combination is working very nicely for me. Had planned on a small subwoofer but am so far enjoying these organically. If I had a sub I would cross it pretty low and let the ELACs do most of the heavy lifting. Glad I went for the 5.2 and not the 6.2 as the sound rocks without the need for more space. Spent a few dollars on custom Oakwood stands. Sound is awesome, bass is solid and I would happily recommend these little beauties. Put the money you saved to better use.

Unexpected amount of bass from this 5.25” speaker. Front port allows for placement on my desk near a wall. Detailed sound with amazing soundstage. I am using the speakers with an Aiyima A07 class D mini amp with the TPA3255 chip along with a Douk Audio P1 tube buffer preamp. Each speaker is quite substantial and weighs 13lb...
