Features
- BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS - The Debut 2.0 B6.2 raises the bar for bookshelf performance higher than ever before. With a black ash vinyl finish and newly developed tweeters, woofers & cabinets, these small-but-mighty speakers are unbelievably musical.
- CLOTH DOME TWEETER - The soft-dome tweeter features wide-roll surround & takes response up to 35,000 Hz making them perfect for hi-res music. The waveguide improves directivity control & minimizes diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.
- WOVEN ARAMID-FIBER WOOFER - The aramid cone shape offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
- THICK MDF CABINETS - The MDF cabinets are larger and internally braced for greater stiffness & strength, reducing cabinet vibrations. Plus, the front-firing ports prevent placement against walls or in bookshelves from compromising performance.
- REDESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP - The original Debut Series changed the game & now its changed again with the Debut 2.0 Series. Redesigned from the ground up, they sound more remarkable than the speakers that sparked a revolution in high-end sound.

Great speakers and similar in a few regards to Andrew's other older Pioneer designs: Fairly flat frequency response, very polite/non-fatiguing and remain impressively coherent at high volumes. I'm like how all this is achieved with an affordable smaller/lighter bookshelf design. These are my top choice for a $300ish bookshelf speaker paired with a very good modern amplifier. I will say that for old vintage tube or capacitor-coupled output amps/receivers, I prefer the similarly priced Klipsh rp-600m bookshelf speakers that add greater sparkle, dynamics and bass to an otherwise rolled-off vintage amp output.

Slightly warm character with noticeably rich and detailed bass - especially for a bookshelf speaker. Good bass extension into lower frequencies without any muddiness. Does not need to be paired with a sub. Impressive clarity, articulation, and character in the mids and trebles with very good sound staging and no peaking or harshness. Pairs very well with an affordable class d amplifier and inexpensive streamer/SAC like the fosi za3 and WIIM mini to make an excellent compact budget hifi setup that is a significant step up from most recommended entry-level options. With that combination, plenty of presence for a large home office or medium-sized living room. More than enough bass support for electronic music or hip hop while still maintaining the presence and detail in the mids and highs for live instrumentation and even very good reproduction of orchestral or chamber music. At the top of my recommendations for speakers for most casual listeners and a very good affordable option for audiophiles. The newer debut 3.0’s are just as good.

After 20 years of constant upgrading and flipping amongst speakers found at thrifts and on craigslist, a living room re-design forced me to abandon some vintage floor standers and actually buy new, smaller speakers. I have no surround theater, just two channel stereo for music, but I needed two matching pairs, one for the kitchen and one for the living room. Since I was downsizing, I, along with every other speaker shopper on the planet, started looking for bookshelves with good bass. I soon found my inner obsessive compulsive spiraling down the amateur audiophile rabbit hole. At first glance, the Elac 6.2s seemed perfect – they got mostly glowing reviews, they were reasonably priced, and they were front ported, which made them more forgiving for placement. But then I read the Elacs were unforgiving of poor sources. Another reviewer said they were uninspiring, and another said they were finicky, and to only get them if you like tweaking and adjusting your gear. If you're not a tweaker, he recommended the more forgiving Wharfedale 225s with their downward firing port. And, of course, I couldn't help but notice that the Q Acoustics 3030i, with their fantastic bass, seemed to be dethroning the Elac 6.2s as the king of the bookshelves. They also came in white, which sure would look snappy in the kitchen. And those French speakers, the Triangle BRO3s, had those great looking twin front ports, that special tweeter design, and that certain "je ne sais quoi." And, by the time you get to BRO3 money, you can no longer ignore the highly regarded Elac Debut Reference, right? I bet I watched two dozen videos and read countless articles, and just about when I didn't know how I was gonna make a decision, something wonderful happened: a very nice lady getting out of a relationship sold off her ex's home theater gear on Craigslist. (I know, it makes you cringe to think of it.) I got a minty pair of Elac 6.2s for $150. I took them home and listened to them, and guess what: they were amazing! I liked them so much, I promptly bought a second pair on Amazon. The vocals are fantastic, the highs are crisp and clear, and they have much cleaner, yet fuller sounding bass than my old floor standers. Tom Waits sounds like he's in our house with us, which can be a little unsettling; I hear every grunt Keith Jarret makes while tickling the ivories; and I feel every bit of Thom Yorke's angst, despair and rage when I fire up some Radiohead. I couldn't be happier. I've also learned something revolutionary about speaker placement. I am very aware that we should all place our speakers on speaker stands, two to three feet from the wall. But, because I live in the real world, I cram mine onto shelves in corners, which is where they're always gonna go in my house. I know this will come as a shock, but, because of my horrible placement, I actually get a little more base, which is not exactly horrible for a bookshelf speakers. Is it bloated or boomy? Not in any way you would notice unless you started obsessing about whether your bass is bloated. And there's more good news. If bass bloat becomes an issue, apparently, despite all the high tech engineering that goes into building speakers, it has now become acceptable to put foam bungs in your port (sounds wrong to me). If you start suffering from bass bloat, you can always make your own out of a pool noodle or a dirty sock. To be fair, we all have our obsessions – if audio equipment is yours, and it brings you joy, then dive down that rabbit hole with abandon. But, if you're like me, and you don't have a dedicated listening space, and concerns about imaging are often overshadowed by the sounds of the dishwasher or conversation over cocktails with friends, then I've got great news. These are excellent speakers, at a great price, and I am very happy with mine.

1 month later: This pair of speakers were still slowly but surely changing. The initial nasal congested sound is pretty completely gone. The last time I bought a pair of audiophile-grade planar ribbon speakers was almost 28 years ago, so I don't remember much about how long it took to break in. I suppose 1 month is not excessive. However, for those who want to make a decision to keep or not, that could be a problem. While it is not as good as my planar ribbon speakers in my main system, it is a great value, especially during Christmas sale. It will reveal poor recordings. Listening to good recordings is a nice experience. Highly recommended for those who want a pair of small speakers for a small room. After 72 hours: This pair proved to be a competent product. But a minimum of 72 hour of break in period is absolutely necessary. The most drastic change came within the first 4 hours. The initial congested and heavy nasal sound is mostly gone, but still could be detected for some music if I looked for it. In terms of sound stage, it is a little more forward than my main system. This is due entirely of speakers because the DAC and amp have been tested in my main system and they didn't move the sound stage much. The treble is much better than my previous pair of speakers and that was the primary reason for finding a replacement. Could there be better speakers in this price range? I don't know. Based on construction, I think this pair will last 30 years if I don't abuse them. If I could give 1/2 rating, I would give it 4 & 1/2 stars instead of 4. Original review: This pair was intended to replace the speakers in my office/study, which are almost 30 yo and have metal tweeters. The old pair was not bad but the bright sound has been something I wanted to replace for some time but did not want to spend the money since I wanted to replace with a pair of planar speakers like my main system. Because of Covid-19, I stayed home instead of going somewhere for the holiday like previous years and therefore have time to search. I am not familiar with this Elac brand, but many reviews (and I read many reviews) seem to suggest that it is pretty good. I was debating between this B6.2 vs KEF Q150, which is only slightly more expensive. Reviews suggest that the KEF, while better, is brighter than the Elac because of metal tweeters. By the time I wanted to make a purchase, KEF is no longer available for immediate delivery, so I placed an order for this Elac B6.2. It arrived yesterday. Packaging was good. The pair has some weight and construction was also good. I quickly set it up in my office. My first impression was very bad to the point that I wanted to send it back immediately. There was a strong nasal sound and chest congestion that is often associated with low end speakers. I let it run for couple hours. The sound opened up considerably such that I decided to just let it run. By late evening which is many hours later, the sound was not that bad. Imaging is much more precise than the old speakers. The high is significantly better that the old pair. And they are much more efficient also. They are still not as transparent as the planar speakers in my main system. There is still a haze. Mid tone is just a tad more pronounced. Given the price and the generous return policy, I will let it run for a while before making a final decision. From an absolute stand point, this pair is no match for my main speakers, which is not surprising since they are 10X more expensive. But from a value stand point, they are pretty good for this price range. After the initial break-in period, they are good enough for extended listening.
