From the manufacturer

The Experts Agree

“The demo pair (ELAC B5) produced jaw-dropping sound—and not just "for the money." It was naturally weighted with a smooth yet detailed top end, uncolored mids, surprisingly solid and extended lows, and superb imaging.” - Thomas J Norton, Stereophile, The Show Newport, 2015

The Show Newport 2015 coverage

Best Sound (for the money): The Andrew-Jones-designed ELAC Debut B5 ($229 per pair—that’s not a misprint) may not only be the greatest bargain at the Newport show, but may turn out to be the greatest bargain in the history of audio. This tiny econo-box was spectacularly, stunningly, amazingly great for the price. I can’t wait to hear the higher-end speakers Jones is developing for ELAC. – Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, April 2015.

Superior Build Quality & Custom Designed Drivers Are Key In Delivering A True Audiophile Experience

Custom-Designed Woofer With Aramid-Fiber Cone

Aramid fiber is employed in the woofers of all ELAC Debut passive speaker systems. Aramid fiber offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and improved damping characteristics over conventional paper or plastic drivers. This added strength means arriving at designs that achieve a broader bandwidth with smoother response.

Cabinet Engineered For Sound

Every ELAC enclosure is engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious textured vinyl finish.

Silk-Dome Tweeter With Deep-Spheroid Custom Waveguide

The waveguide surrounding the new ELAC high-frequency driver features a custom, deep spheroid profile to improve directivity control and shield the dome tweeter from cabinet diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.

It's All In The Details

Gold Plated 5-Way Binding Posts

5 - Way binding posts are utilized allowing for a wide variety of connection possibilities. Gold plating has been applied for improved connectivity.

Dual Flared Vent

All ELAC speakers employ a dual flared vent to greatly reduce air turbulence which can cause unwanted noise.

Sophisticated Crossover

An intricate 8 - element crossover optimizes performance and blending between the drivers for superior accuracy.

Customers are mixed about the brightness of the speakers. Some mention that it shows off the midrange well, making the upper extensions very detailed without being bright. They also appreciate the sparkling highs, which are very clear and life-like. However, others say that the high-end is not accentuated, the mid-range is sadly adequate, and the imaging is good. Overall, opinions are mixed, and it's recommended to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

25 customers mention15 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the speakers. Some mention that they are good size speakers, that are not too big for placement, and that they sound incredible. However, others say that they're bigger than they think, and are not well suited for a small room. The sweet spot isn't that wide, and the mid-range is sadly adequate.

"...I won't say these are "good for the price"... these are SUPERB for the SIZE, especially if you don't plan to match it to a suitable sub...." Read more

"...The speakers are also relatively large compared to other similar speakers, which makes them harder to position...." Read more

"...You can close your eyes and there is so much spacial definition, that you can pick out where every instrument is in it's place...." Read more

"...But, w/ 110wpc(real rating) they are lacking in the mid-range. The Canton's were dazzling & exceptionally accurate...." Read more

Louder than you think, less bass than you hope for, great speakers for the size
5 Stars
Louder than you think, less bass than you hope for, great speakers for the size
Just got these yesterday, gave them about a three hour "serious" listen last night. Powered by an older Yamaha RX-V665 (90wpc) in "Pure Direct" mode (no EQ or DSP) in a 30'x16' room with 12' vaulted ceilings and way too much glass. Source was a Fire TV streaming lossless FLAC from my home NAS. On stands away from the wall, I listened sitting maybe 12' away.First off, a few things really stood out to me:1) These are spec'd as being 87 dB at 2.83 v/1m. Don't let that fool you! These are capable of getting VERY loud without any magical, high dollar amplification. I heard very little distortion, even at high volume, and the box resonance other reviewers mentioned was missing. I am sure that even my room filled with a dozen people for a dinner party or something, that these would/could be easily heard anywhere in the room.2) Sound staging and stereo separation is great! I didn't mess around with "careful placement" or with measurements (it was just too late at night), but all of my favorite test tracks were well represented, with individual sounds (and artists) being easy to pin point in the air in front of me. I'm sure that precise placement would really let these gel as at least a 9/10 for imaging.3) I picked these because I wanted to know what sort of bass could be accomplished with such a small speaker (no subwoofer!) and these were highly touted as being a stellar candidate for such an application. While these DO produce a good deal of bass, these still left a lot of meat on the bones and depending on what genres of music you might prefer, a subwoofer (or some floor standing towers) may be needed.I won't say these are "good for the price"... these are SUPERB for the SIZE, especially if you don't plan to match it to a suitable sub. Yes, I know, other bookshelves like the SVS Ultra can be had (at over three times the price) that might bring slightly more bass to the show but really physics are physics and as they say, "there is no replacement for displacement". A bookshelf speaker, even if you weave woofer cones out of angle hair and hand mold tweeters out of star dust, is still only capable of so much.Some tracks that really stood out:There are a handful of tracks that I have found are notoriously difficult for many speakers to play cleanly, especially at higher volume. The B6 passed all of them with flying colors:1) Elton John - "Mad Man Across The Water", from album of same name. This song has a "noisy bit" that reoccurs during listening, where there is just so much going on at once that at high volume many woofers just distort into an ugly mess. The B6 remained composed and hardly sounded phased at all.2) dZihan & Kamien - "Ay Ay Ay", from Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions Vol.2. This song was simply mastered and produced to torment audiophiles. I've never bothered to run it through a spectrum analyzer to tell what is really going here but this one has made pretty much every system I've heard it on (sans subwoofer) weak in the knees... and distort. The B6 was no different in these regards. That it played this track back with more control and less distortion than many much larger (and much more expensive) speakers that I've heard impressed me.3) Steely Dan "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", from the album "Pretzel Logic" is another one like #2. Not the entire song! Just that marimba or whatever that percussion instrument is, in the intro to the song. Turn that up loud and wonder why your speakers are broken? Nah, it's just this song. Here, the veil over part of the mid bass region (I think) in the B6 actually made this trouble part smooth and... almost normal sounding!There were a ton of other songs I tried, everything from Vivaldi and Bach to Charles Mingus, Sting, Dianna Krall, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Sphongle, Pink Floyd, and Diablo Swing Orchestra. In my opinion these speakers play better with small ensemble tracks where too much isn't going on at the same time. VERY nice with acoustic guitar, violin, and piano. Large orchestral pieces did quite well too although I thought some of the percussion, including timpani and kettles, were rather subdued. They were present; they just didn't have the presence I am used to hearing on larger speakers.Vocals, both male and female, seemed quite forward and perhaps a little "shouty". Not ideal but considering that there are only two drivers here, in a relatively small box, the B6 is still very good.Upright bass and even electric four string bass was shoved to the background. This isn't horrible, if you are used to it, but if you listen to specific tracks just for the bass presentation, you may be a bit disappointed. Get used to it or buy some floor standers and/or a subwoofer. The B6 does do bass, and quite well, but rather that letting it out as an equal partner in the musical marriage, bookshelf speakers in general will have a habit of relegating bass tracks to the underlying foundation of the composition; in honesty, probably right where most artists intended it to be in the first place."Good for the price"? That depends on what you want to do with them. These would be hard to beat at any *justifiably* higher price, in this size range, and if you have the budget and the room you are better off with quality floor standers anyway. If you can live without the deepest end of the musical frequency spectrum being portrayed realistically, these may suffice even without a subwoofer.Photo is the B6's on stands in front of the homemade two way open baffles that were specifically tuned to reproduce Charles Mingus on his bass.
