Speakers are bookshelves, I'm starting with only 1 sub. I need a few more speakers and upgrade my 12 year old receiver before I upgrade my sub. I answered your question about towers, but I agree with others that your budget is better spent on bookshelf speakers since you will add a sub. This graph shows the close-mic’d frequency response of both the subwoofer driver and passive radiator summed together without any equalization applied. While this nearfield measurement shows a bit of dip in the middle of the passband, it is just a limitation of testing in my environment and is well within reason. The red trace predicts how the response would appear in an anechoic environment.

The cabinet shape is slimmer and deeper than the original Debuts, copping a little “Euro-Chi-Chi” style action from ELAC’s Uni-Fi Slim lineup. Internal bracing has been improved so as to dampen any unwanted cabinet resonances, and the brushed vinyl look of the original Debuts has been replaced by a black ash textured wrap finish. As we look at the drivers, the 1” silk dome tweeter is similar to that of its predecessor model but has been updated with a wide-roll surround and new waveguide to help with overall response and improve directivity. Handling the midrange and woofer duties are three identical 6.5” aramid fiber drivers.

ELAC Debut 2.0 Home Theater Speaker System Review

Benchmark audio tests of the ELAC Debut 2.0 speakers were conducted using a calibrated Umik-1 USB microphone used in conjunction with Room EQ Wizard software. Speaker on and off-axis measurements were conducted with the microphone placed at a 1-meter distance. Subwoofer measurements were done with the microphone placed at 1-foot away from each respective driver.

I've been asking around various places and people trying to make an informed decision. Here's a little bit of information that might be useful. Right from the opening of “Space Intro” the circular panning synthesizer effect is completely encompassing and seamlessly transitions from rear to the side to front and across.

Carlo subsequently spent a lot of time in his room…As he grew older, he would spend countless hours in downtown Toronto stereo shops, listening to all manner of gear and picking the brains of the various store owners. Through that formative experience, Carlo developed and appreciation for good music, and for good sound reproduction. The question of what makes one piece of equipment sound better than another is something that he’s always found fascinating. Also, as a budding graphic artist, the aesthetic aspects of a given piece of gear became increasingly of interest to his eyes. It was at about that time as well that Carlo began purchasing “Audio Magazine” on a regular basis and came to appreciate, in particular, the writing and reviewing of the late Leonard Feldman.

If this doesn't work, click on this small right arrow to switch the remote type. Give each command a few seconds to work, because response times can vary. Then next again to choose the remote type, and try a few simple test functions to make sure that the magic remote can now operate your home theater system. If you prefer you can deactivate Auto Power sync by clicking on it but simply will remain active.

The only way to truly find out which one you’ll like the best is to go and audition them. A full-blown 5.1 receiver is not required but it is nice to have. Hooking up all your inputs to the receiver and only having one HDMI cable to the TV is one plus.

Please refer to the above video to see how the subwoofer’s app-based auto calibration routine works. In my standard HT setup, I also have four GoldenEar SuperSat 3 speakers mounted high and aimed at the listening area for use as Dolby ATMOS height speakers. The speakers were all controlled and powered by an Anthem MRX 1120 HT receiver with an OPPO BDP-103 Universal Player as the source. All the speakers were acoustically dialed in using Anthem’s ARC room correction system and were crossed over to the subs at 80 Hz. This setup left the two ELAC bookshelf speakers without a job until my son’s bedroom stereo speakers decided to give up the ghost.

This chart shows the horizontal on-axis frequency response of the ELAC B5.2 speakers directly compared to its 15, 30 and 45-degree off-axis measurements. Overall, it seems an even tighter grouping than that of the related F6.2 plots. The 0-degree and 15-degree plots track each other fairly closely between 300Hz to 15 kHz. The 30 and 45-degree plots stay close to the first two until about 3.5 kHz where they begin to show the expected amount of decline.

An 8-ohm nominal impedance and an 88dB sensitivity will make the C6.2 easier to drive than the original version too. The C6.2 center channel speaker proved itself to be an excellent sounding anchor to the whole system, providing highly intelligible dialog and clean musical performance in an easily manageable size. It noticeably sounded just as good while sitting in either of our end seats as it did when sitting in the two middle seats. That isn’t always the case, as some center channel speakers I’ve had installed here can have an audibly softer sound for guests in the end chairs. Vocals in both music and movies had a natural presence and weight to them and panning effects between the front three speakers sounded as seamless as could be. For surround listening, the Debut 2.0 tower speakers, center channel, on-walls, and dual subs were set up in my basement home theater space in my typical 5.2 surround layout.

Advice for 2.0 Setup Floorstanding

The first speaker series introduced by this “dynamic duo” was aptly called Debut. It quickly gained widespread acclaim as a well-designed, value-oriented line that punched significantly above its weight. This initial success afforded the team the ability to expand ELAC’s product lines with a number of more adventurous and innovative offerings in both speakers and electronics. In 2016, the company acquired Audio Alchemy and brought aboard key engineers, including founder Peter Madnick, to update the brand he created and continue its life under the ELAC umbrella.

XD Now I could try without, what I may do is get more elevations, try them as my sides see if it makes that big of a difference, if they don't I can replace my rears with them for a 5.1.4 setup. I could use my current rear speakers in a different room, if I replace them. While you're here you'll also see the addition of this little icon, to indicate the successful setup of universal control. And for even greater convenience, your home theater system has been added to the all apps extension of the launcher. Yes, since I have a budget of around $500 for the pair I want to start off with some decent quality speakers.
