About this item

  • BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS - The Debut 2.0 B6.2 raises the bar for bookshelf performance higher than ever before. With a black ash vinyl finish and newly developed tweeters, woofers & cabinets, these small-but-mighty speakers are unbelievably musical.
  • CLOTH DOME TWEETER - The soft-dome tweeter features wide-roll surround & takes response up to 35,000 Hz making them perfect for hi-res music. The waveguide improves directivity control & minimizes diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.
  • WOVEN ARAMID-FIBER WOOFER - The aramid cone shape offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
  • THICK MDF CABINETS - The MDF cabinets are larger and internally braced for greater stiffness & strength, reducing cabinet vibrations. Plus, the front-firing ports prevent placement against walls or in bookshelves from compromising performance.
  • REDESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP - The original Debut Series changed the game & now it’s changed again with the Debut 2.0 Series. Redesigned from the ground up, they sound more remarkable than the speakers that sparked a revolution in high-end sound.

    Using as desktop nearfield monitors
    I am using these as a nearfield desktop setup. They are probably overkill, but I don't care, because they sound great! At the moment, I have these hooked up to a Fosi Audio T3. They perform well with this little amp, but I am sure they can handle more power. I will try a couple of other amps later.I have a surround sound setup in my bedroom using Jamo S-803's. These put the smack down on those! The Jamo gets muddy in the midrange and lacks punch. The Elac's have great range through-out and a lot more bass than I expected. I am super impressed with these little speakers.----- Update -----Several hours of listening and tweaking inputs to get it just right. I am really enjoying these speakers. Still sending signal through bluetooth. Used FXSound app to dial in the sound. If you are sending through a laptop/pc, don't forget to turn off all of the virtual sound, bass booster, enhanced sound settings in the bluetooth sound settings as they may throw off how these should really perform.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
    These are often on sale. I have used these on different amps in a small ot midsized room. They are not ultra detailed. Still they are most often limited by the amp in budget systems. They can project a sound stage wider than the speakers and have some layering and depth. Imaging is good but not ultra precise. I can tell where everyone is standing or in an orchestra where each group of instrument is with a decent DAC and amp to feed them. They are fairly neutral. As with most budget speakers the bass is limited and better with a sub. However, I can listen to them without a sub and still enjoy the music. Placement is very forgiving. I have the about a foot from the back wall and that gives good imaging and soundstage. Even though they are front ported the bass pre3sence overcomes details next to the walls. Placed straight forward in my room gives the widest soundstage. Towed in improves imaging.

    They lean towards an audiophile sound at this price. The Rotel A10 (orA11) seem well matched to them for those who want a more revealing audiophole sound. A NAd C316 Bee V2 is a warmer more forgiving amp. I have also has them on a Aiyiama D03 for music listening in an apartment. They are on a Yamaha currently. The mostly neutral speakers can show the strengths of any amp. I go through a lot of DACs. Thse speakers reveal the difference between DACs and I usually have 2. 1 for soundstage and warmth. The other is for classical music and orchestras where I like more detail and sharper imaging. These are a general do anything speaker. Many speakers have boosted highs and bass and vocal become recessed. These are not that way. I like the tonal balance of these. For some Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, and Vocalists these can have a natural not fatiging sound. Off axis they are pleasant. In the sweet spot, the soundstage and imaging are much better than average as this price point. Value is very high with these.

    The reviews of these speakers generally tend to rave about them, in particular for their balanced sound and substantially better bass response than you'd expect for a speaker this size. The speakers are front-ported, which means the best bass response doesn't require that they be pulled out away from the wall. I'm using them as main speakers in a home theater, and this Goldilocks combination of compact size and good frequency response makes them perfect for that purpose. Be warned that the price on these varies quite a bit. I was watching amazon for about a month and saw the price range from $240 up to $279, and I finally got them on sale for $199 (the "list" price is $329) At the price I paid, they undoubtedly a bargain, but I would have bought them at $240-250 if that was the best price I could find. Seriously, these are very, very good speakers for the price.

    As other reviewers have mentioned, these speakers tend towards being on the bright side for high frequencies. They are not mellow at all, and produce sparkle to the overall room acoustics. However, I can correct the brightness by adjusting the treble on my receiver, and/or lowering the equalizer Q for high frequencies. But stand alone, without any interfacing, these speakers are at the pivot point of being too bright and too sparkly.

    That being said, the entire sound is crisp, clear and clean. And to my ear, the bass is tight, robust, and natural sounding without boosting.

    As another reviewer mentioned, the Elac's need breaking-in; and in my case, some acoustic treatment for absorption is necessary. I bought these speakers to makeup a 7.1 surround system, and right now they're being played (stand alone) in an empty room that's under renovation, with bare walls producing excessive reflections. So it's hard to tell now how they will sound in the end. But I think these speakers have great potential and will fulfill my needs.

    The build quality is solid and heavy (the Amazon driver said the box weighed 50 lbs). I struggled carrying the large box up the stairs and to the room. The speakers are taller and larger than what I imagined they'd be - impressive. Definitely for top-shelf placement, or on speaker stands. The solid black matte finish, and the silver Elac emblem, give the speakers a hefty presence. I like them in every way.

    I've not heard any rattling from the covers - they fit snugly - but you have to make sure the speaker cover pins align perfectly with the holes in the speaker enclosure before setting gently and firmly in place.

    I really enjoy the new sound produced by these speakers (replacing Cambridge Soundworks bkshlf), without any distortion that I've noticed at higher dB levels. They sound great @ 40dB, and have carried well and loud @ 65dB. But good sound at any volume level is relative to the listener - some people will like these, some will not. I don't think any speaker, no matter the price, is 'one size fits all', and high price does not always translate to good quality. The Elac sound quality exceeds the price in my opinion.

    Enjoy, or not!

    UPDATE: 07/06/22
    After breaking in, these Elac speakers are now part of a 7.1 surround array for 'side' speakers, or stand alone 2.1 stereo. They sound awesome for a bright and deep base accompaniment in sound room with acoustic treatments, and without that 'almost too sparkly' sound as stated earlier in four star review. I don't think there could be a better speaker for the price.

    Highly recommend.

    I bought a set of Klipsch Rp600M II to go with our 90's Denon receiver stereo which has been in the closet for 15 years. We had a bigger room then and a 100w subwoofer but now all we want is something that is easy to listen to.

    The Klipsch had no mid range, nothing but highs and lows, so I returned them. These sound great, not overpowering, no booming bass to shake the walls just nice and even treble, mid range and bass.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Speaker at this price range
    Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2023
    I haven't had the opportunity to listen to a lot of speakers in this price range. But for the price, these speakers rock. Impressive sound for the size, punches above it's size for sure if compared to my older speakers (PSB/Paradigm). Again, I'm just a casual music lover, the sound generated from these speakers are very good. For the money you can't go wrong.

    ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 Bookshelf Speakers:
    Another Andrew Jones triumph!
    Once again I'm late to the party with the B5.2, but wow!
    Small but what an impact,
    Absolutely Stunning
    from build quality to performance.
    Pin point imaging, stronge clean powerful detail in room acoustics.
    I have found with Elac speaker, they do not distort at high levels of listening.
    They can take POWER!
    Not that I listen to music loud, but I do test all my speakers, of which I have many, for power handling, safely of course.
    Weather you want to listen to, rock, jazz, pop or classical, etc the ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2
    are seriously impressive with all music.
    All you need here is a good amp, Dac, a clean source and your done.
    I would be quite satisfied If this was all ever had.
    A great introduction to an Audiophiles world of quality.

    Ottimo prodotto In rapporto al costo. Ovviamente non stiamo parlando di top di gamma ma nell’ambito dell’entry Level siamo sicuramente a livelli di eccellenza. Sempre ottimo il servizio Amazon

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome bookshelf speaker
    Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2024
    Did a lot of homework before spending money on a bookshelf speaker. Ultimately chose the Elac’ s and couldn’t be happier. Bass is deep, vocals crisp and clear. Perfect size and design. All the online reviews are legit. Use these everyday for my vinyl with a pro-ject carbon turntable. Couldn’t be happier.
