Your place looks well suited for floorstanders so that will be good. I've noticed a lot of variation between bookshelf speakers and floorstanders from the same line. Although they should theoretically sound similar just with slightly more sensitivity and more low frequency extension, it doesn't always play out that way in real world scenarios. For example, the ELAC Debut Reference floorstanders have the slot port at the very bottom near the floor (whereas it would be off the ground if placed on stands) and it also has 2 more cylindrical ports in the back. I just noticed those are also using 5.25" drivers instead of the 6.5" on the bookshelf.
@ThomasAndStereo
@ThomasAndStereo 4 жыл бұрын
@@joentell Yeah and also it is harder to integrate multiple drivers with floor standing. As such you are right that it is just more than extension. I personally like floorstanders more maybe because I have the room for it. Regardless which one I get, I am sure they will sound great but what I am expecting is that unlike the debut 6.2, they will not blow me away because these days,budget speakers sounding great is an expectation. Hopefully I am wrong and they will blow me away.

@@joentell I like Elac's approach to continuous improvement of the Debut line of speakers. I hope that we see a similar approach soon with the Uni-Fi line, particularly a step up in that pesky sensitivity/impedance rating. Seems to be price room somewhere between the Debut Ref and the Carina lines.

As always, great review, Joe! Also, I wanted to thank you for the heads up on Just Audio's giveaway as I am the contest's winner for the Debut Reference speakers! I plan on using them as my desktop speakers for music and gaming (large desk at 84 5/8" length and nearly 3' in depth) with a Denon PMA-600ne stereo amp. Pretty excited and shell-shocked as I've never won anything before! I originally planned on giving them to my parents as an early anniversary gift for a 2.1 system if I won, but they refuse to take the speakers from me, apparently.

Joe, i don't know why you can give an easy evaluation of these speakers, as well as Jay and Erin, but Andrew Robinson found them so so. I know that everyone has different liking when it comes to how speakers render sound. I like that when you didn't like a sound rendering you will say that you don't like it because it is bright for your taste. I myself do not like bright top end since i like to listen for long period of time. I was considering these speakers but it's so confusing when there are such differing views on the sound rendition from few people that reviewed it. Thanks so much always for not being confusing. 3 years later.

Hi Joe, I have the Debut Reference speakers and, to my ears (in my room and with my equipment), they couldn't beat out the Polk LSiM 703's. Before I got the Debut Reference, I had the KEF Q150's and I was very happy with them until I took part in a trial of the Polk Legend L200's; I really enjoyed my time with those and they made me realize what I was missing with the KEFs. So, I agree with your finding that the midrange was "lacking" on the Debut Reference compared to the other speakers on your list and that is one reason why I ended up deciding to send them back. The bass was pretty good with the Debut Reference but it didn't beat out the bass response on the LSiM 703's. I was surprised at how dead the cabinets sound on the LSiM703'S; it is INERT. However, I found the KEFs and the Debut Reference had quite a bit of resonance when I knocked on them (in direct comparison to the 703's). Honestly, I thought that the Debut Reference threw out a very wide soundstage and, again, I agree with you that the center image was very focused. Definitely not "all bad" on the Debut Reference! I guess I just prefer the warmer sound of the LSiM703's; that and they sound more accurate and real, to me, than the Debut Reference (and the KEFs). Thanks for your review - GREAT camera work and video production!

Goes to show just what a good speaker the Uni-Fi truly is (when driven with a proper amp). I was hoping the Reference would bring back that original Debut bass, but it looks like that may not be the case. It's a lovely looking speaker, but with the price being more than the Uni-Fi, it's going to hard to justify as it is less of an upgrade and more of just an additional choice in the product line. I do appreciate that you did the comparison as many reviewers would tend to ignore such.

Got my DBR62 for my desktop and run with a sub. I did install a .1uf 1% metal-poly bypass cap on the tweeter. It made a pronounced difference in the air, detail and "solidity" of treble above 15khz. (fixed that drop off) Best sounding speaker I have heard short of maybe the Burchart-which are close to 2 grand as we know.

Tried that as well, but it didn't work for me, even at 0.1uF the treble became too pronounced and drew too much attention to itself. If anyone is thinking of also doing this mod to add a bit more sparkle it's quite an easy mod but I would go down in value to 0.068uf or even lower at 0.047uf or better just change your amplifier to a more lively model.

But with the Adante AS-61 line being on close out at twice the price, would you jump over the Debut line and grab the AS -61? The very best thing I love about the B6 and 6.2 is the fact I can play things loud without the fear of blowing a tweeter or mid that will cost several hundred dollars. That makes this speaker FUN!

Hi Joe, Your review and your Speaker Leaderboard got me really interested in these speakers. I am sold. The tough decision is to decide on a matching amplifier. Between Cambridge CXA60 and Yamaha A-S501, which one will be a better match for these new ELACs? Ideally, a small Class-D amp like Yamaha WXA-50 or Denon PMA-60 is preferred, but I couldn't find many glowing reviews praising these class-D amps when paired with ELAC speakers. BTW, this hifi setup will be used in a small-medium living room for listening to classical music, audio books, and movies at 40%, 30%, and 30% split.

Compared to the 6.2's - is bass response roughly the same despite the new port? I loved the bass response of the original 6.0's, always felt 6.2's to be slightly lacking in low end. Though the bass seems to continue blooming over time, and the high's seem to be mellowing in a nice way.

I think it's really the way it interacts with the room. I'll have to check on my video from RMAF where Andrew Jones was showing these. I remember them being pretty close to the walls there.

Thanks for the review. Any recommendations for an integrated amp that will work well with its sound signature?

I’d really like to hear what this Elac pair sounds like hooked up to my recently upgraded old school Marantz 2325 receiver. Plenty of power to make them sing! Love my Maggies however I’m a big fan of Andrew Jones work too... Thanks for your review.

7:50 Concentric drivers are made to sound correct at any distance, especially nearfield compared to two ways. That being said, totally agree with your reasoning for bookshelf speakers: the UB5 makes it so hard I think because what concentric drivers do to avoid lobing and acting as a point source, all other speakers suck at, so it's impressive even when something like the Debut Reference has more all around advantages it sounds like. The only company that can make a good two way in my opinion is Neumann with the KH80. It doesn't have blotches in the polar response graph like every other two way non-coincident driver I've seen. Every other company needs start releasing coaxial models or perfecting dispersion without being locked into a horizontal plane.

It was weird. With the UB5's at my desk, I felt like someone sitting on the front row at the movies. It was just too close. Backing up helped.

@@joentell Interesting. Did you feel that with the Navis? I liked a lot about that speaker, even with extreme separation and only two feet from my ears. With bass I know some people wants "bass to develop" but that's usually standing waves, and studios sound very dry, which is what I like. Soon I hope to have stands that will let me use the massive Genelec 8260 nearfield.

I did feel that way about the Navis. I said that in my review. It was just a bit much near-field. I think Andrew Jones tailors the sound based on what he thinks will be the typical use-case. I doubt he had near-field listening in mind. I plan on having him on the podcast. You can ask him yourself.

@@joentell Good idea, I'll try to catch it! At RMAF (2018 I think?) I spoke with Andrew Jones about using them nearfield and he mentioned that they should work that way and a couple of studios had expressed interest. A few of the other guys in the room also discussed them for nearfield as a more resolving upgrade from the JBL LSR series. Ended up ordering a pair in any case, and it could be that I'm used to the very dry, reflection less sound that most may not like. Talked with Mr. Jones about a manufacturing defect in one of them (the mid/tweeter box wasn't sealed off from the bass driver properly, and was venting through the coaxial air gap,) but ultimately ended up returning both for other reasons. Best of luck with the podcast!

Great review as always... I already have the debut 2 5.2 and for me they sound damn good considering their price, it would be interesting to compare these two bookshelf in my small bedroom
