New ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63: The Best Budget Speaker Available Today?

[@ElacUsa]

Thank you for the review and your kind words! Glad you're enjoying Debut 3.0 :)

[@bruceandt]

Always enjoy your reviews. The pace and articulation is nice after a day of work. The more I watch your reviews as well as others? The more I wonder about the basic transducer in all its iterations. For example… I just put into my system a pair of Energy RC 30 towers. It was interesting to listen to them and keep a sort of reference as per old and new offerings . Thanks for the review.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks for review. Very nice and affordable.

[@HiFiHuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@johngreek]

Great! Also review the acoustic energy AE100 -2 for smaller rooms

[@ramondelgado6778]

Great review! Thank you so much for your coverage of affordable gear for us mere mortals. Haha! How would you compare/contrast these to the Wharfedale Diamond 225 that are still available for $299. Thank you!

[@HiFiHuff]

@@ramondelgado6778 thanks! These have more resolution, more punch, more clarity and sound like a more expensive speaker. The diamonds are great for $299 but these, imo, sound much nicer.

[@joshblank1]

Love the review and scenery. I have same hobbies: audio and photography. I also like guitar

[@PSzymonik]

I have these and love them! One question out of curiosity, what do are you placing between the speakers and the stand?

[@BrettShaw]

Thanks for the great review! An ELAC owner (FS 267) from Hungary. :) I hope there will be a review of one of the members of the Arendal 1528 speaker series in the future.

[@VillageIdiot-u2b]

Excellent review, they sound promising for the price. I doubt you were expected to reveal the upcoming iteration of the Billie amp as existing stock will stop moving. Cheers!

[@johnloupis9344]

Would love to see what is inside these speakers. As I have found out just doing a parts upgrade of 50-75 bucks can really help them even more. Especially the tweeters.

[@lamarw9901]

I like to hear about budget stuff as well. Looking forward to the updated Heaven11.

[@Agent-fg9ol]

Awesome review! I'm wondering if you or anyone in the comments have heard these and the Polk r200's and which sounds better overall and why?

[@54tristin]

@@Agent-fg9ol I think the Polk have more depth!

[@kempfand]

Thank you for a review for something not only for the Upper “ 10’000 “. Besides the story on the HiFi topic, I love your comments and general remarks on Music and Life ( not to say philosophy ).

[@HiFiHuff]

Thank you! I like affordable stuff as well. Just seems most of the gear that gets sent to me is the higher end stuff. There’s an audience for both but always happy when I see an affordable piece that is excellent. Have a good weekend!

[@Yoeddy1]

Man, I wish Micca would offer their speaker wire in custom lengths!

[@PSzymonik]

A great song that shows off what these speakers are capable of: Breakaway - Big Pig Band out of Australia.

[@joshblank1]

Which would you recommend for Rock / Metal? ELAC Debut 3.0 (5.5” or 6.5”) vs RP600M / 500M (versions 1 or 2). Looking for excitement. I have Emotiva B1+ and think they’re too tame / linear

[@dawaynecleckley8673]

Nice review! Do you use any sort of room correction software?

[@dmitriyzosimov5343]

new speakers always better then previous)

[@peterbaugh51]

Always? On which planet?

[@dragonstone6594]

Can you compare these to the Polk R200?

[@birgerolovsson5203]

I have 5 Elac's and 3 Kef's in my "Entertainment-Room" and I'm very happy with all my Elac's also. Hell, I'm Happy with my Kef's also *LOL*.

[@derberti2280]

I wonder if these are the better choice to combine them with a sub or if the Unifi Reference B63 would be better.

[@crBudgetWatches]

I was looking into the Vanatoo Encore One at 650 usd as an upgrade to my Edifier 1280DBs but these Elac + SMSL A300 amp come at around the same price. Which one dp you think its the better choice?

[@hgamba46]

Which model sounds better between the ELAC debut 3 or the Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52? thank you

[@robertwoodward9231]

Hard to beat the 2.0s.

[@Panslapper]

Certainly a consideration for 2025....glad you brought in the $39ers....gives an common ground for more perspective...no screech, chalkboard and fingernails (Jaws)...😉

[@josegallegosdds]

Would you buy these over the Wharfedale Lintons 85 Heritage?

[@54tristin]

Maybe

Can't find your playlist on Tidal. Thanks for your great review

What are those speaker stands.... They look cool.... Would love them in white and grey

[@josegallegosdds]

Yes. What are those speaker stands?

[@adsph]

Thanks for sharing.

[@HiFiHuff]

Thank you for taking a look!

[@vincentpedalino618]

Wondering if there is any perspective vs the PSB alpha bookie?

[@54tristin]

PSB ARE CLEARER especially at volume

[@vincentpedalino618]

@54tristin Interesting. I find the PSB Alpha line absolutely boring to listen to. Thanks for the reply.

What do you call low volume

[@progrock3603]

These or Wharfdale 225?

[@johntucker5994]

I have both. IMO the 225s have a more natural tone than the Elacs. Plus the 225s will save you $150. The Elacs will go a little louder, but they do not sound as natural as the 225s.

[@progrock3603]

@ Thank you! I’m glad I asked!

[@Panslapper]

@@johntucker5994 If anyone can find the 225's, they are very sort after and even here in the UK they are hardly ever found second hand.

[@jamestartaglia7686]

Who is the designer of these now ...since ANDREW JONES has moved on?

[@yottabyter]

Kiebach Skarff in Germany, In combination with ELAC R&D Toronto and Germany.

[@vincent82228]

How about dali oberon 3 compared to elac sir ?

[@54tristin]

The Dali are less forgiving, play louder, and I believe are more expensive
