ELAC Debut B6 speakers


I ordered these new Andrew Jones designed speakers last Saturday, the moment they became available for shipping. The reviews of the slightly smaller model, the B5, have been uniform great. I have about 10 hours on them and the sound is opening up a bit. They are not yet as detailed or coherent as my very good Dali Zensor 1's, but I will reserve judgment until they get 50-60 hours of time on them. My initial impression that I like them a lot better than the previous KEF LS50's I had and they are far easier to drive then the KEF's. There is no question about their ability to deliver a considerable bass response even with such a small enclosure. The fit and finish certainly belies their $280 cost per pair. It is very possible that Andrew Jones has set a new bar for others speaker companies to match in the realm of cost vs. performance of budget speakers. Stay tuned for a follow up report.

Thanks for the report. Nice to hear they are easier to drive than your KEF's.
What are you using to drive them?
Thanks- I have a pair of Sound Anchor 28" stands that are getting lonely. I thought a small system with the B5 or B6 would be enjoyable. I bet his Pioneer 22 model is very good too. The $129 monitor with the long 22-ish model #. Keep us posted on your B6's. Cheers -Don
