Jay, i'm looking at your review three years later on this speaker. I have looked at others review, but i always come to you to get that personal view on audio as if i'm listening to myself talking to me after hearing music on audio component. Thanks for always going into detail with things.

I just ordered a set. Andrew Jones did honest, serious engineering here. Far superior to similar priced Klipsch and Polk audio...which have poor crossovers. Transparency, detail, imaging...WIN. Not to mention, the speaker show proof it can scale better than others. (Better gear, better sound).

[@deputy3690]

[@AmericanConstellation]

Thank you. You did a really good job here. I bought these speakers and the Klipsh....What the hell...I'll enjoy them both...

Good review! Very detailed! Subscribed :)

[@seemtorecall78]

Hi Jay!, first thanks for all your work producing content for this channel you guys are doing an awesome job. I have a question regarding the sub and speaker integration, you mention a high pass filter, does that mean you are cutting off the lowest frequencies for the main speakers to relieve them of having to produce those frequencies and so elevate their performance? I’ve heard of this done but have not seen much content on high pass filters or how to set it up. Thanks!

[@janisfedorovskis8192]

Yes , that is a wonderful question. U can lock the sub at 80hz but spekers will still be full range. Im I missing something?

[@matsudakodo]

For those with AVRs: the only thing the "4 ohm" setting does is reduce voltage to the amplifiers to prevent overheating and pass certification (4 ohm speakers will draw more current from your amps). It just means the amps won't melt and burn your house down, but it will limit your power.

[@regismcconnell3961]

Nicely done! Looking forward to trying mine with REL subs n the future. I bought the bookshelf’s 4 a bedroom system & the floorstanders n a larger set-up. I agree with your observation about using with a tube amp. I use a Mystere PA11. The bedroom uses the newer PS Audio Sprout. The Elacs have a very mature sound, why spend more?

[@meshplates]

Which RELs do you have? I have a pair of T7is using tube monos and BR03 speakers which go so well together with tube amplifiers.

[@iampuzzleman282]

Great vid. I have b&w speakers and wondered your thoughts on driver sizes. I have a center b&w from 15 yrs ago with a 7 inch vs a new center with two 5 inch drivers. Seems that the 2 inch diff is making a diff in sound. R the newer models with smaller sizes comparable or better than older larger sizes?

[@peterbaugh51]

The Douk ST-01 Pro with tube preamp and around 45 clean WPC is a great amp to drive Elac DBR62 Reference speakers at a low proce. After two years breaking in, they play down to 30 htz, filling the room with bass that you can feel sitting on the couch, 8' from the speakers. I can feel the bass at 28 htz. The amp is a class D with tube preamp, claiming 200 watts max. I'm not using a sub for now. I can hear the tubes "wake up" the speakers even at lower volumes. My setup is not standard, so other rooms may yield other results. Dimensions may help explain why my setup sounds balanced. Room is 13' deep, 12' wide. Speaker placement; Left, 50" from back wall, 20" from left wall. Right; 16" from back wall, 28" from right wall. Both speakers tilted up 5 degrees, cross streamed 10 degrees toed in, on speaker stands ear level. A 7' couch is parallel to speakers and TV. Sources are; IBM I5 PC, DVD, CD, Smartphones on WLAN, and Sony Bravia Smart Inet TV, copper connections. Being older I only hear to about 17 khz, but still know what a real cymbal sounds like. Elacs sound real to me. Power plus tubes helps all speakers sound better. Elac Reference likes some power. They sound great to me, better than my B&W's at 5x the cost. Pretty=pricy, not better. Walnut Elacs look fine to me. Thank you Andrew Jones, and thanks for this honest review.

[@iowatollah]

Hi jay, wonering how the Elac compares to the ESS DIY speakers you reviewed. Also How did you like the Billie amp driving the Elacs. Thanks for any info.

[@jasonlsimmons]

Hi Jay. Seeking your help. Have you heard the Elac AF-61 and the Focal Electra 1028 Be? Are the Focals that much better? Will be using a Cambridge CXA80 integrated amp and Araulic Aries mini as source. Currently my speakers are a pair of Wharfedale Reva 3. Thanks!

[@NeilBlanchard]

One of the big cabinet improvements of this speaker over the DB6.2 and DB5.2 is those speakers having a round port that is quite close to the woofer. So the tweeter and the port being close to the woofer opening, that makes both the narrow sections of the front baffle, make it fairly weak, and it is prone to resonance. The slot port removes the lower weak point. *Hopefully* there is a brace at the upper weak point.

[@maximej8480]

Hi thanks. I just discover your channel. Great one. Do you think it's a good Idea to change my ELAC ELT 7 by this New speakers ? Thanks and best regards from France 😎 a New subscriber 😉

[@RainbowCharade]

Hi Jay, have you tested the 6.2's??

[@MomchilNikolovPhoto]

Hey Jay @The Next Best Thing Studio, I have the Muzishare X7 (very similar to your Willsenton R8) and the REL T5i. Would you recommend I pair them with the Elac Debut Reference DBR62, or the Borea BR03? Realistic vocal reproduction, as well as instrument reproduction are important to me. Thank you!

[@raju_the_king]

Hi Thanks for the review. I am considering these with arcam solo music. Do they match do you think?

[@J0hnny8ravo]

I got a low-power integrated that’s pretty conservative in the treble spectrum. More so, the treble (and the bass, for that matter) pot does only -6dB to +6dB and sometimes those +6 is just not enough. I only hear certain hi-frequency sounds because I know they’re there, but they just don’t “pop”. The mids and bass are spot-on, no complains there. As I have no intention to replace my Rotel integrated, would these bookshelves improve the sound in the treble department? Any opinion would be most welcome, thanks!

[@Pmauriat76]

How about a Dynaudio Special 40 vs Revel 106? That should be an interesting one ☝️

[@jonberg469]

Since these are very good at bass i wonder how good the towers are? Towers vs rel t5i + bookshelf.

[@themastroiannis]

great review! thanks! what are your thoughts comparing this Reference DBR62 vs Uni-fi UB5. I was considering both; looking for a new a pair of speakers, up to $1000 for classical music, jazz trios and some folk rock. will be powered by an IOTAVX SA3 and its IOTAVX PA3 brother. would love an honest, open sound.... would really appreciate your recommendations..

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

I'm considering the DBR62 and the Unifi UB52, two years on. What did you get in the end? (and we're you happy with it?)

[@themastroiannis]

@@sdrtcacgnrjrc hello! wow... a long time has gone by! i bought the Uni-fi UB5 which i still have. they are absolutely phenomenal speakers IF and only IF you have the power to make them sing. Currently they are being powered by a Cambridge Audio CXA81 and they sound sublime! way way better than with the IOTA. I also should mention I thought about replacing the Elacs with a pair of Revel Concerta2 M16 and a pair of Elac Carinas (both models considerably more expensive than the Elacs Uni-fi). well... I ended returning the Revel Concerta and re-selling the Elac carinas. The Elac Uni-fi are a way more honest speaker; beautiful wide soundstage, refined sound really. Revels, too bass boomy and the Carinas were great with transient attack, but too dry, fast decay for my taste, robbing them depth. good luck with your search!

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Hi Jay, could you recommend me speakers for low volume listening, thanks!

[@vinylrules4838]

Teckton speakers must rule. Always in the background!

[@randomtube8226]

I listen to a ton of music with poor recordings. That's why I was leaning towards these. I'm on a tight budget so I trying to do as much research as possible before I make my decision. It's difficult for me to spend 600 on speakers right now. So I want to be positive on what I'm looking for.

[@peterbaugh51]

You can pay 5x for pretty boxes that sound like elac dbr62's. They are now $700. They are pretty enough at that price.

[@RahilJivani]

Nice video - how do you think it compares to the KEF Q150?

[@swiftraider759]

I think I like these better than my Q100s. They seem to run out of steam at higher listening levels where the Elacs can handle a lot more power and volume.

Dbr62 for long term listening. Bro3 more fatiguing. Just what I've heard.

[@odannyblueso]

What is your opinion on Parasound gear? Looking specifically at A23+ amp and P6 preamp. Looking to pair with a set of Zu Omens.

[@joejessal9578]

I have that same Parasound setup. I’ve just ordered these. Hoping I’ll like them. Moving into a smaller listening room, so these look like they’ll fit the bill.

[@ziggy8757]

Jay, would you say the improvement over the 6.2 is reflected on the price difference in order to justify buying de reference debuts, coming from a 6.2? what are your thoughts on this

[@Jayiyagi]

I think the price difference is definitely justified. Even just based off the looks alone...

[@Purpleyamz]

For me, coming from the 6.2's, it was absolutely worth it (although I found a used pair on ebay for $450). It was actually more of a difference than I thought it would be, considering the drivers are the same etc. To me it's like a totally different speaker - warmer, smoother, more refined, more bass. It's a little bit more laid back the the 6.2's which are forward in the mid/vocal range. Vocals may seem a little more recessed with the DBR62s, but I kind of like that as the overall presentation is smoother and natural.

[@Purpleyamz]

Nice review. For those that have heard these and the 6.2's, I'm wondering if these have more or deeper perceived bass output. I like the 6.2's, but they always seemed a but thin/lean to me.

[@swiftraider759]

I just bought the DBR62 and they surprise me more and more each day based on the music I play. Based on previous videos I tested these bass tracks per Jay's experience as follows. Bass: night train christian McBride Bass: flight of the cosmic hippo flecstones Also by bela fleck Bass : limit to your love james blake Bass : Hot Spade oh Joon Sung I have a JTR HT118 sub for movies that goes down to 11Hz. Edge of Tomorrow opening scene. 😖 Anyway these speakers with a fairly decent to strong amplifier will reward you. I have a unison research unico hybrid amp. Solid state for power and the preamp is tube. It goes over 100 watts easily at 6 or 4 ohms. With out a sub mind you these speakers somehow pressurized my room with bass. And my room is not small. My living room is an open floor plan leading to the dining room and kitchen. The bass was pretty unbelievable at mid to high volume levels. The review was spot on in regard to higher components bringing the potential of these speakers out. I'm sure these speakers do with a variety of amps, but just keep in mind they may have another level with quality amps or integrated amps. I'm now in search for a Dac in the $300] to $600 range. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Have an eye on the bluesound node 2i. Ray Charles, Tonny Bennet and Frank Sinatra sounded so natural when listening. I was streaming through Tidal Hifi. Will be looking to DSD and MQA soon.

[@Purpleyamz]

@@swiftraider759 I finally got the DBR62s and agree with most of what you said. To answer my original question, yes these DBR62s have noticeably stronger perceived bass output than the 6.2's and an overall fuller and warmer voicing. They sound equally good with my 125wpc modern class D amp and my 10 wpc (yes 10wpc!) vintage Pioneer. Excellent all-round speakers with a very refined yet muscular sound. Buttery smooth yet never veiled.

[@jameypritchard7790]

How do you think these would pair up with the REL T5i for a larger room?

[@BradVinylRush]

Would love a review of the floor standing version (DFR52). Still haven’t found an online or KZbin review yet

[@johnw.graovac8030]

Hi Brad maybe I can help you alittle. My friend and I both bought the reference series he has the bookshelves and I have the floor stands. The midways and highs are identical. The floor stands have way more base because they are a three-way design it has two small 1 inch ports at the back of the speaker as well as a slotted port in the front. We try them in a room size 12 feet wide and 24 feet long .The floor stands sounded much more fuller In the room at the same sound level as the bookshelf speakers' so if you want more base and have a big room I would recommend the floor stands. Hope that helps you.

@@johnw.graovac8030 Thanks man. I've not heard them but I have a NAD 390DD which is a class d and and could do with a little bit more warmth. It also has a shedload of power down even to 3ohms. Which i think these will appreciate. I love the finish and the price!

[@donvittoriosierra]

What's your take on the satisfaction factor comparing these with the new unifi 2 which seems more neutral?

[@slofty]

Uni-Fi 2.0 is anything but neutral tbh. Unacceptably weak above 1.5khz-- very anemic vocals in music and movies. DBR62 and Polk R200 are two of the best

[@annenominous7220]

Would love to see your ranking list of all the speakers you have reviewed. If that is too hard, how about listing your two favorites? Thanks.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

I gotta say that you entirely miss the point. Everyone has different preferences. I often find myself buying the wrong product because my tastes don't align with the reviewer's. The danger with online shopping is that you can't try the products before purchasing. So buying the right set is a journey of buying stuff you later regret until you're content with what you have. Even if Klipsch, Triangle and ELAC always seem to get the hype these days, they're very distinct from one another. So choosing a winner is subjective. And there are definitely other options that you'll overlook as reviewers are not sponsored to talk about them. I mean, isn't it suspicious that most audio review channels talk about the same products? Think about that...

Thank you for this information. I now have 3 speakers left to choose from. These Elac's €499 pair in europe or the Triangle Bro2 €299 & Bro3 €399 a pair in europe. I want to pair them with a Sony AV system. I do not listen to music much, but do watch a lot of movies. I don't want a 5.1 system so I was thinking about a 2.0 set and pair them with a rel 5ti or rel zero. What do you suggest? I do not want to place them on speaker stands, but just place them on each side of the TV dresser. (50cm high)

[@balamuruganj6058]

Good one. Why is that we don’t have any Focal speakers covered in this category ? I think Focal Chora 806 will blow away pretty much anything in that price range for resolution and broader sweet spot. I know it’s expensive in USA but will be in the same price category as this in UK and most of Europe.

How would these compare to KEFs Q350 on Yamaha A-S501 ?

[@alm5693]

Jay, thank you for this review. Can I ask if the Debut Reference speakers would match well with a Vincent SV-500 integrated amp? The amp is rated at 50wpc, has a tube preamp stage, and a strong power supply. I've never seen any Vincent equipment reviewed on KZbin so I'm assuming that it's either not popular or it's unavailable for review. Have you had any experience with it? I'm using Audioquest Type 8 speaker cable.

[@Mark198d]

I agree that the price points are confusing. I had the Uni-fi UB5 before, but not heard these new Debut Reference yet. JoeNTell did a review recently and put the new Debut Reference ahead of the UB5 on his speaker leaderboard, though he said it was close. padlet.com/joentell/leaderboard

[@amazoidal]

The UB 5 is getting old. It needs a rear port and a better woofer. I think Jones will upgrade the UB5 very soon.

[@Purpleyamz]

Surprisingly an old Pioneer SA5200 I have, at 10 watts per channel, drives these wonderfully. I guess power ratings may have been different in the 70's? I was afraid it would be way underpowered but it's just not - it sounds great, solid bass response, lively sound.

@@slofty The vocals are dead centre, but often feel ‘above’ the music somehow. Not sure if that’s how the speakers are designed though.

[@slofty]

@@BOBBY1976100 That's typical of a well-designed loudspeaker-- it's accurately reproducing the music as it was mixed/mastered. What you're hearing in vocals that "image" like that is typically due to saturation, a beloved technique in the studio that purposely adds harmonic distortion for presence, among other things. Try cranking Brubeck's "Take Five." It's one of my favorites on a good pair of 'shelves. That was recorded with two mics, one behind Joe and the other near Dave. Wonderful dynamics for its age.

So I got it set up and listened for a bit. First impression is that it matches the bookshelves well. It does not go quite as low as them though, but close. Voices seem slightly better. Probably due to having two 5 1/4” drivers instead of a single 6”. I definitely recommend.

Wondering whether the comete ez will take performance to a yet higher level as it is very similar except for a supposedly higher res tweeter.

Still digesting the sad news about speaker designer Jeff Bagby

[@timgenardo265]

What happened ?

[@HungryEatNow]

Precisely it your other equipments that makes the Real difference

[@Beos_Valrah]

No, I highly doubt that. Most of the audible differences usually come from the speakers themselves, as they are by far the weakest link of the audio chain.

[@peterbaugh51]

Or the rel difference, ha.

[@shamithar9202]

Horizontal vs vertical stacking??? . Bro u need to look at the position of the moon before you play your next vinyl.

"Day-byu"... just trying to help

[@geoffreyvanhouwaert8677]

i just can't focus because of that yellow ring...

[@turiddu9]

Jay, it is written Debut but the word is pronounced DayByoo. Also ‘gear’ is both singular and plural. You don’t own audio gears, you own audio gear. English is a funny language that has a lot of funny, idiosyncratic rules! Please don’t be insulted, my comments are designed to help you because I very much value your thoughtful input!

@@joanfrederick9176 Some other audio reviewers on KZbin say anyways when they transition - it's anyway, the transition is a singular occurrence.

Is it true debut doesn't sound with the t consonant?

@@DarkPa1adin yes, daybyoo. It's a word of French origin.
