![]() ![]() But I’d say get the DB62 if you do not and are between these two. So, I’d recommend this speaker if you do have EQ. If you have a miniDSP - to fix the response imbalance - this might well be worth the purchase but it is definitely going to be output limited. (The amp has new filter capacitors, PC-1 boards designed by Ed at Qua-Co and built by Jim at 7houses, and eight new Exicon mosfet output transistors, so it now. Even the MTON distortion when “high passed” at 80Hz is quite high in the midrange. These are the initial results of my shootout between the 800/pr Bowers & Wilkins 606, the 150/pr Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 and the 1200/pr Buchardt S300, using a rebuilt Hafler DH-200. The compression is rather bothersome, too. If you’re short on time and just want the highlights of this article, here it is: The ELAC Debut 2.0 B6. I’ve provided a prediction of that result via REW. However, thanks to the good horizontal directivity, with a single high-shelf filter, the difference can be made up quite easily and the speaker is much better, imho. With its new custom drivers and improved cabinet design, the Debut F6.2 is the foundation of a serious two-channel system or the nucleus of an impressive multi-channel setup. It’s because I’m looking for specifics and not expecting broadband differences like I’m seeing in this speaker. The Debut 2.0 Floorstanding Speaker ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2 Floorstanding Speaker DF62. Every now and again I come across a speaker that does something like this where the issues I have with it aren’t easily identifiable. But when I saw the data I realized what it was. I couldn’t figure out exactly what I didn’t like when I was listening. The Debut B6 is the bigger standmount with a friendly 299 price tag. The first fruit of his involvement with ELAC is the appropriately named Debut series, which comprises two standmounts, a floorstander, a centre and surround loudspeakers plus several subwoofers. It’s not like it “jumps out” at you or is “sharp” like you would get when you have a peaking in the response at a particular frequency. He is one of the few engineers capable of designing high-end and budget systems. Unfortunately, there’s a weird +3dB “step” at about 1.5kHz which makes the speaker sound uneven. And my hope was that it would be a better alternative for those who knew they wanted a subwoofer anyway… then you could save some money and get these over the DB62. I was really hoping this would be better than the DB62 simply because smaller midwoofer should make for better directivity (all things equal). The tight bass notes, reach deeper than you might expect from the size of the box and demand attention, the open midrange and clean treble makes. But a couple quick notes based on my listening and what I see in the data: ![]() The revised shape of the aramid cone offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior. For details about the performance (objectively and subjectively) please watch the YouTube video. ELAC Debut B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers New Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofer. If you’re planning on spending £300 on some new speakers, it’d be an oversight to not at least try the Debut B6s with your current kit.As stated in the Foreword, this written review is purposely a cliff’s notes version. ![]() There’s a definite leap between these and our Award winners in this price bracket, and a handy saving on the latter to boot, but there are plenty of reasons to give these Elacs a home.

The levels of detail are reaffirmed as the Debut B6s highlight the different synthesizer waveforms and juxtapose instruments and vocals well. These are well-layered grooves as well, incorporating plenty of conversing rhythms, which Elac organises and outputs with seemingly no trouble at all. You can certainly feel those pounding kicks in your gut when you dial up the volume. They might not be as dynamically versatile as the Bronze 2s, but it’s still an energetic and entertaining performance that shows off the power and punch of that impressive low end. ![]()
