Description

Build Quality, Sound, and Looks Converge in the ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 Bookshelf Loudspeaker: Andrew Jones Design Features New Waveguide, Woofer, Bracing, and More The ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 bookshelf speaker has no small aims. It sets out to provide audio fidelity (and stylish looks) that will change the way you think about hearing music in your home, all for a cost often associated with mass-market models anonymously assembled with cheap off- the-shelf parts. The lofty goals owe to Debut Reference DBR62's inspired pedigree, with its genesis originating with ELAC's original Debut Series. Engineer Andrew Jones was thrilled with the groundbreaking line. And rightly so. After all, he designed it from top to bottom, and it redefined affordable high-end performance for thousands of listeners. Yet Jones always lamented the aesthetics got shortchanged. No more. With Debut Reference Series, Jones and company strike an enviable balance between outstanding build, sonics, and looks. But appearances aren't the only upgrade. Internally and externally, Debut Reference DBR62 goes all out to separate itself from its crowded class. A new waveguide and open-grill design improve high-frequency response. A dual flared slot port increases bass output and dynamics. A new, 6.5-inch cast chassis woofer – loaded with oversized ceramic magnets for powerful bass; aramid fiber cones for control; a woven fiber spider for excellent linearity and stability; low carbon-steel top and bottom plates for high magnetic conductivity; and a butyl rubber surround for inherent damping – minimizes resonances and supplies robust, full, dynamic extension. New, full-perimeter bracing joins the top and side panels all the while lessening cabinet colorations. Jones' one-inch cloth dome tweeter sings. In sum, quite a debut by any name, Reference or otherwise. Boasting 86db sensitivity and a 44Hz-3

  • A New Standard in HiFi
These are exactly what i've been looking for! Went through a few amps, and a few speakers looking for this exact sound. Rp600m's polk s20's, klipsch 51m's, etc. These have a warmth and finesse to them that just go so perfect with my sprout 100. They have an amazing softness and warmth to them, but it's backed up by some of the strongest bass i've heard in a bookshelf speaker. Not to mention these soft and ear pleasing have some serious umph to them once you crank up the power. Unboxing them, these things are heavy. The first bookshelf speaker I've held where the front was noticeably heavier than the back and you can tell this has some seriously heavy drivers in it. These are rated at 6 ohm but Andrew Jones himself said on a youtube video that they can pull as low as 3.8 ohm or something around there, which means you better have a 4 ohm rated amp. Luckily the sprout 100 is, and it pushes these so nicely. Can't say enough good things about them. Finally my sprout 100 has that warmth and beautiful tone I've been looking for. Everything else to this point has sounded a bit cool and a bit too dry for my taste. At least with this amp. Pick your amp and speaker combo wisely. For adding the musicality back into class D amps, this is the speaker for you. If you're going to run a rp600m I'd highly suggest a class AB amp to soften them up a bit. I'm keeping these and already in love. Can't wait till they fully break in. As a side note, I've seen mixed things on this when compared to the rp600m. But I will say in my room (which requires speaker to be relatively close to the wall) these sound much better than the rear ported rp600m. The front port really does seem to allow them to be placed slightly closer to a wall and although not optimal, they sound damn good. Which for me, makes them a more usable speaker. Low level listening is great, still very detailed and alive at low volumes. I crank these as loud or very close to as loud as my rp600m's, and that was shocking to me considering Klipsh claims like 8db higher sensitivity. Maybe it's the fact that these can take 4 ohm, and my sprout 100 is able to output double the wattage into 4 ohm. These speakers continue to impress me. These are the first bookshelf speakers that I can honestly don't need a sub for music use. I do have a nice SVS SB2000 Pro but I'm finding that compared to all my other bookshelf speakers, I'm turning it way down with these. With my rp600m's I'd use around -14db on the sub, with these Elac Reference I'm using -24db. It's making me realize how much mid bass was missing in previous bookshelf speakers. ... show more

  • Amazing Speakers. Choose your power amp wisely.
While they weren’t perfect for my power amp, I found these speakers to be an incredible value for the money. The sound is so balanced and laid back and that’s why they are so great. I’d recommend a high powered class D amp to drive these speakers. They are VERY power hungry. It was tough to watch my vintage McIntosh amp sweat to push these guys to life, but it’s rewarding sound is worth it. Choose your amp wisely. Watch the YouTube reviews from zero fidelity, Steve Gutenberg, and the next best thing. They are accurate and helpful. ... show more

  • Astonishing Speakers!
Originally I purchased a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2 to pair with my Marantz PM7000n. While they were very detailed, they were on the bright side and fatiguing to listen to for hours, particularly vocals. After reading and watching a bunch of reviews YouTube I stumbled on Elac and Andrew Jones, a pair that hadn't been on my radar before. It quickly became apparent that Elac gave one of the best speaker designers "free reign" to make giant killers and that's just what he did with the DBR62. What you'll get with the DBR62 is a very flat and neutral overall sound with seriously impressive bass extension for their size, a wonderful midrange (that is missing from many other speakers that prefer to showcase how high and low they can go while leaving you with a U shaped frequency response), and not to mention sweet delicate highs. The DBR62s also produce a very holographic image rather than giving you a locked-in sweet spot (like my old Bronze 2 did). Listen to a showcase track like Bubbles from Yosi Horikawa and you'll understand. I also auditioned the Elac Uni-Fi UB5 and preferred the DBR62 due to an overall more neutral response. The downside to these speakers is probably the looks, that's not to say they look bad, they don't, but it's clear the budget went into the "meat" of these speakers when you examine the low-quality vinyl wrap and exposed fasteners around the 6.5" driver. I'm totally OK with that, though, because these speakers will sound better than anything costing double the price; they'll impress you and your audiophile friends. ... show more

  • Very good but if priced a little cheaper would put their value off the charts
Not an audiophile by any means. Just like good sounds, but here's my quick review: Highs: detailed crisp, not too bright Mids: accurate clear Vocals: pretty clear. Sometimes sound a little too warm. Bass: very clean and full sounding for the size. For home theatre: They really show their range here. They fill my room equally with vocals and action scenes are full of detail, right mix of bass and clarity. I did notice some of the short falls with some scenes and vocals tough. Nothing condemning by any means. These needed almost no EQing IMO and sound very good. Despite all the positives I'm not sure they are $600 speakers. Maybe I just don't have enough experience though. The jump from my Polks to these is very noticeable in almost every way. But is it 3 times the money better? Hard to say. Maybe that's why I'm not an audiophile :) ... show more

  • Blown Away!
The DBR 62 is simply mind blowing! What wonderful audio from a bookshelf speaker! Bass is low and extended and midrange is very sweet. I had thought they were a bit thin sounding until performed the room acoustic adjustment on my Marantz receiver. I will not look back on my Infinity towers and Velodyne sub woofer. Now my big problem is I cannot turn them off! How Andrew Jones could construct a bookshelf speaker that sounds like this is amazing. My purchase was a month ago and I was hoping they would please. The front port is super since these are placed in built in bookshelves, no worry about a rear port. These are very difficult to find in stock so if you see they are, make that purchase, you will not be sorry! They are worth every penny! ... show more
