Product Description
While a handful of separates and integrated units offered great sound, none delivered The performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the Elac name. So where none existed before, the engineers started with a clean-sheet and simple design brief: build one of the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifiers imaginable; do it without compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price It so fairly that it becomes a hands-down choice, even when compared against
units at many times the price.

---|---|---|
The BASH Amplification SolutionAt their heart is a brand new BASH Tracking Amplifier delivering 80 Watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohm speakers. This new amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary (with a little headroom) to cope with today’s dynamic movie and music content, thus maximizing the efficiency and potential of the amplifier. |
App-rich Control FlexibilityELAC’s free iOS and Android app allows users to fully control and set up their system. The app includes innovative features not found on any other products in this class—anywhere. |
ABC Technology (Auto Blend & Calibrate)The companion IOS and Android app measures the near-field response of main speakers and subwoofer, then pinpoints the subwoofer’s optimal crossover frequency. Auto Blend results in the perfect integration of clean, articulate bass. Room Calibration precisely tailors your system for flattest frequency response across the audio spectrum, optimized for your listening position and environment. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, there are some negatives. I've found the software a little buggy, and the buttons on the device itself just don't work very well. I find myself pushing the power button over and over again before it comes on sometimes, which is just kind of annoying. I used to leave it on all the time, but found it doesn't always shut off automatically as it is supposed to, and one of my input names has now burned into the display, which is also annoying and makes it hard to read. Speaking of that display, it is borderline useless, because it's too small to see unless you have pinpoint vision or are basically on top of it. Couple that with the burn-in, and it's pretty rough. This is too bad, because I have this thing hooked up to the main stereo in my home, with TV, turntable, computer, etc, all hooked up to it, and it isn't as good as this as I'd hoped. The display and remote were major considerations for me, since a lot of this model's competitors are in fact even worse in these regards. But alas.
So, 5 stars for sounds, input, and size (love this powerful of an amp in a size that fits in small spaces). 3 stars for the price (a little high IMO). 2 stars for being less than user friendly. Ultimately I would not make this purchase again, despite the positives. I could achieve a similar setup for half the price.
Build and features:
* Like I said, it is very light weight and feels a little "cheap" for the price paid. Not necessarily a negative, but something that surprised me (I will admit to liking a little heft)
* The rubber top, based on others' perspective, seems to be divisive. Some people like it, others don't. I don't. Again, it added to my impression of a cheaper, low quality product. I can see where there might be some functional benefit, but to be honest, I found no benefit in it. In addition, it picked up dust and debris rather quickly and the material made it hard to remove without a lightly damp cloth
* The volume pot felt flimsy and I noticed a slight delay in turning the dial and the intended result.
* The build/design also seems to be a little bit divisive as well, I actually found the design to be rather striking and liked it (on of the reasons I bought it actually), the materials of the amp chassis feel solid and well thought out.
* The screen is great for near field viewing, impossible from further (like feet) away. I know there is added cost with a larger screen, but I would have appreciated a little more information on the screen that is there all the time, instead it just provided input and the adjusted volume level
* The bluetooth implementation was rather good. I was able to control the basic functions of the amp (from volume to EQ to input), but the advertised auto EQ and Blending features no longer work with my iPhone 11 and the app has not been updated by Elac or its vendor in 3+ years. From this I fear that there will no longer be any support for this device (I also believe it has been officially discontinued, but still supported)
Sound:
* I was impressed by the very impressive and wide soundstage the amp provided. From about 6-10 feet away I found that I was hearing and "seeing" sounds from live recordings as well as movies that were impossibly wide. Impressive. Dialogue was clear and volume was even.
* The sound quality is rubbish. Though the imaging and soundstage are impressive, the rest of the feature set provide diminishing returns on the quality and enjoyment of the listening experience. The music was flat and joyless, there were no dynamics to more "emotional" or at least excited passages in my music from opera, classical, and jazz to pop, rock and alternative. It was all delivered in the same way. Flat, featureless and joyless. Like a bureaucrat from the film "Brazil" or Orwell's "1984"
* I found that turning off the auto EQ and the auto Blend made a remarkable improvement in the sound quality. There was a little more reach into the bass and much more excitement in the higher end. It was like a completely different amplifier. One whose features I had to disable to get. And, when gotten, I felt as though an amp for a quarter of the price could have matched it (think of the NAD 316 BEE for less, or the Sprout100 for a little more, both outperform this amp...in fact, they run circles around it. I am sure there are others too)
* For movie viewing the amp did well, but besides that. Woof, what a miss
You might look for something else, you might like the BASH amp module. No doubt there is sophistication in this amp, and you can see that; Elac doesn't do anything half-way. But from a sonics perspective, I think the overthought the build and neglected the impact to sound (which I find hard to believe, it's just want I hear).
For those of you here that loved it, that's great! I am truly happy for you (no sarcasm here), it just wasn't for me. Not at all.

I would have kept it as I got it on sale but my unit had a slight channel imbalance, so it was pulling to the left a little where all my other amps had image that was properly center focused so had to return it.
