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.

Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
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 already have a set of Micca MB42 with a subwoofer for my desktop computer and was leaning towards purchasing the Micca MB42x but decided to increase my budget upto $200.
Honestly, I think the Micca speakers should be classified more as "Desktop" not Bookshelf. Don't get me wrong, the Miccas are great for their size and when you add a small subwoofer. They can generate some great sound....but they NEED a subwoofer for all types of music. I'm guessing this is true for smaller sized bookshelf speakers in general....physics is physics.
So small ~$100 speakers+decent subwoofer = ~$200.
However, these ELACs are the whole package and require no subwoofer for genres ranging from Pop, Jazz, Classical, and folk. They have perfect balance.
For Rock and Roll, obviously a subwoofer is going to add a lot.
In summary, if you want decent audio for a room, you have to start looking at the larger speakers and speakers around $200. I got these ELACs for $199 and they fit perfectly into this scenario.
The only downside are the looks. No option for warmer colours or wood finish in the States.

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.
