Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 Vs PSB Alpha P5


Hello All,

I am helping a colleague build a new system. Based on his requirements I am suggesting him to go with the NAD D 3045, since he needs to connect his turntable and TV to the amplifier and also needs streaming audio.

I have shortlisted a few loudspeakers and am thinking of suggesting the Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 or the PSB Alpha P5. Has anyone compared these 2 speakers? What are your thoughts? I have heard "an" Elac bookshelf monitor that Andrew Jones demoed a the AXPONA 2017 and it was pretty musical. But have no idea on these newer models.

The other speakers I was thinking are - Wharefedale Diamond 12.2, Monitor Audio Bronze 50 and the Klipsch Reference RP-500M. His budget is about $700.

Thanks!

I enjoy the Elac 5.2 series Fs, C, Bs in my small tv room with a sub. I've also listened to the B5.2s and F5.2s in my audio room and they are quite acceptable although I do prefer the Raidho D2s. I think 50 or so good integrated watts should be fine with those type speakers (although more tends to be better...).

PSBs always seem to be good in their class. Klipsch are too shouty and fatiguing in my book. I've thought Monitor a bit lean compared to others. At lower volumes Totem bass would be more enjoyable (if you don't have an adjustable bass/loudness for low levels.
