![]() ![]() Therefore, I conducted the entire review without a subwoofer. We have a separate review of their new sub coming from our own Marshall Guthrie soon. While they are available, ELAC did not send me the line's Dolby Atmos speakers or one of their subwoofers. For my review setup, ELAC sent me a 5.0 configuration consisting of a pair of the F5 floor standing speakers, the C5 center channel, and a pair of B5 bookshelf monitors for the surrounds. The Debut line also features three subwoofers. The full Debut series of speakers consists of two tower models, three monitor models, a center channel, and a Dolby Atmos speaker. ![]() ELAC’s Debut series is exactly that-an opening act for ELAC into the North American audio market. Now, Andrew has once again set his sights on the budget-conscious home theater lover by joining ELAC. Andrew and his team set their sights on the fledgling audiophile and delivered a kick-butt pair of speakers, the Pioneer SP-BS22 LR, that sold for a mere $129/pair. But it was Andrew’s contribution at Pioneer that really turned the audio world on its head. With successful stints at iconic speaker brands KEF and TAD, Andrew has designed award-winning speakers entering the hyper-stratosphere price-range ($80,000+) of the audiophile landscape. If you haven’t heard of Andrew Jones before, let’s just say that his resume and pedigree are…well…legendary. ELAC’s Debut Series speakers have been designed by world-renown speaker designer Andrew Jones. But ELAC’s foray into entry-level audio is anything but ordinary. “I’ve heard all that before.” Yes, ordinarily you’d be right. “ Stop right there! Don’t tease me,” you might be thinking. The Debut 2.0 has a decent look: It comes with an external grill that I did not use. It costs US 245 from Amazon including free shipping. It was kindly purchased by a member new and sent to me for testing. The reality check is simple: getting bonafide high end sound on a budget isn’t easy. This is a review and detailed measurements of the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 bookshelf speaker. Sure, there are seemingly lots of options and so-called “bargains.” But give most of these a try and those lofty-dare I say even unrealistic aspirations-crash in some sort of fiery end. Truth be told, entry level audio hasn’t been a very fun place.
