I own the UB5's and have owned the UB5.2. For the money, the UB5 is my choice , but you need an amp that will power it, High current amp or high wattage suitable for 4 ohms, which I do. I think they're great. You are correct, either one would be a good choice.
@petermoore7796 Жыл бұрын
got a question for you. would an amplifier that drives 4ohm speakers at 80wpc be enough for these. something like an anthem or nad is what i’m looking at but i know ub5s are finicky

Can't wait to hear what some tube power brings out of them. I'm glad I held out .. a couple of weeks ago when you first started listening to the UB52, I asked what you thought about it vs the Debut Reference, and you said, "I'll spare you the suspense: buy the Debut Reference." But somehow I knew there was going to be an a-ha moment once you were able to live with them (and get them broken in). Thanks again for keeping it real and giving us viewers yet another angle on this crazy music obsession we all have.

@@cheapaudioman I will be using my main integrated, a Rogue Audio Cronus II. Don't shoot the messenger .. I know this isn't a 'cheap' component! But I love the idea of high value, affordable products (like Elacs and other offerings out there these days), and though this amp skews on the more expensive side, it was considered a bargain when compared to what was available on the higher end several years ago when I bought it. That aside, this amp has some richness, speed, punch, and isn't really rolled off .. just damned sweet. (Also just wanted to say that I like the idea of purchasing a range of affordable bookshelf speakers to play with over time, over having one higher dollar pair of loudspeakers that hangs out in my listening room for many years.

My 3 Elacs, I had 4 but threw one out the door 🙂. Debut 5.2 great all round speaker with low coloration and great soundstage and imaging, good bass too. Elac unifi b5.2 does everything impeccably well. Excellent mids, bass, highs. I would say no coloration which I never experienced before in a speaker. Elac unifi b5 my rock and roll speaker. My fun speaker. It’s not perfect but does everything well. Randy thank you for reviewing these, the way you do. My purchasing decisions were based on your reviews. I got these all on sale of course!

I have the UniFi UB5 slim and driving them with a powernode 2i. Unfortunately, I have to have them very close to a wall, which is bad for the port is rear facing. So what I did was adding a small sub (audio-pro) and set the crossover in the amp to let the sub take care of that. Honestly, despite the low sensibility thing and the “probably” inappropriate amplifier for these Elacs, I don’t have anything but nice feelings for this system. I listen mainly to jazz, at reasonable volume levels for an apartment, but also use the system for films. I’m very happy with it and it didn’t break the bank. My 0.02s :) Got yourself a new suber, by the way!

@georgec17793 жыл бұрын
The term musical in my opinion is a subjective term and has different meanings to different people. It really boils down to what you prefer and enjoy. Some people like bass , some treble , some soundstage , etc... pick a speaker that has the characteristics you like the most. A lot will depend on your musical tastes. Rap and dance music has a lot of bass so naturally rap fans love lots of bass. Classical and jazz fans might prefer a more balanced neutral speaker.

A description I'd appreciate in your reviews would be tonal balance , soundstage, and imaging at lower volumes. There are many speakers that are great when you're feeding them lots of power. Some can pull off these qualities at lower volumes but some completely go to pieces at low volume. I work from home, I like to have music on and have a conversation etc. To know if a speaker can give quality balanced response without needing to be cranked would be greatly appreciated.

Love your style ! Subbed instantly. Cheap shit isn't always shit. Would love if you would review more cheap amps because that's a goldmine! The Loxjie a30 you need to take a look at that. Love the not so expensive speakers reviews as well awesome! Can you also talk about speaker placement and stuff like that? Is it really that important how much does it affect the sound etc. Would make me so happy to see. Best regards from Sweden!
