Best Bang For The Buck

I suppose that this is actually three reviews in one. 1. Crutchfield customer service is very, very good. I called them because one of the pair of speakers had backordered. I was offered a scratch and dent along with a very hefty discount. 2. Scratch and dent policy is excellent...My speaker came with new warranty and return rights with free shipping. Also, the 'scratch' was a 1mm mar near the bottom of the cabinet that I'd have never noticed if I hadn't been looking for the 'scratch' 3. These ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2's are incredible speakers. I am using them to replace a much-loved pair of vintage Polk 11's that are getting a rebuild and just love the terrific staging and detail offered by these ELAC's. The detail is so good it is almost a drawback as it has a habit of revealing flawed mastering. Staging is very impressive but did take some placement adjustments to get. Bass is solid and also well detailed. My advice to prospective purchasers is to forgo purchasing a Sub-Woofer until you have listened to these for a week or two and then decide if a subwoofer is needed. In my opinion these speakers easily compare favorably with speakers selling for twice the price.

I have several other Elac Debut 2.0 series products, and the F6.2's are the "Cadillac" of my 7.1 setup. I've only had them for 5 days now, and they need more time for break-in, but wow! Incredibly Balanced and Loud Home Theater sound. I am convinced that you cannot find better overall performance and the value you get from the Elac debut 2.0 lineup!

I love the sound. Crisp highs warm lows. My only negative is more my problem than the speakers. They are place in an are that is not ideal for perfect sound. If I push the speakers they fill the room with glorious sound. Lower volumes lack the depth, but I think it's the room. The speakers sound great.

Does NOT have 6-inch drivers.

The description of these ELACs is fundamentally wrong. They claim to have 6-inch drivers, but they are barely 5.25. I know some people will say that I must have purchased the smaller speakers and that I'm just confused, so I attached two pictures that prove what I'm saying. Be warned. These ELACs do NOT have 6" drivers. Crutchfield needs to state this on its website.

Outstanding audio quality for an even better price

I got a new surround sound system about a year ago cause my old 15 year old "surround sound system in a box" receiver died, and the speakers for it had dumb proprietary hookups, making replacing the whole setup my only option. After a recommendation from an audiophile friend of mine, I ended up getting the Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 bookshelf speakers for the setup (I was originally looking at some cheaper Polk and Klipsch bookshelf speakers). I was apprehensive at first because of the price, as I had imagined spending much less. I was however, amazed at the step up in audio quality and "punch" the bookshelves had for what I paid. The receiver I had bought was a 7.1 receiver, but I only bought the speakers for a 5.1 setup like the old one I was replacing. I just ordered these Elac Debut F6.2 towers because I figured it was time to make fuller use of my receiver. I was, yet again, amazed at the jump in audio quality, and with the added "punch" they give at higher volumes. I cannot more highly recommend, not only these, but the entire Elac Debut 2.0 line, for home Cinema, gaming (what I mainly use them for), and even music. They may not match speakers designed specifically for HiFi music listening, but they definitely sound like they cost twice as much as they do, and are worth every penny in my opinion. TLDR If you are looking for exceptional quality for a reasonable price, you won't find better than these and the other members of the Elac Debut 2.0 line of speakers.

Scratch & Dent Misadventure

Purchased via scratch and dent and was very disappointed in the packaging and the condition of the speakers. I do not recommend purchasing speakers via scratch and dent. Crutchfield's video suggested they are thoroughly repackaged. They did not. When I received the speakers were wobbly inside. I should have returned them, but did not want to go through the hassle. Once opened there were missing parts and a broken grill cover. ALSO BE AWARE THESE SPEAKERS DO NOT "accept" the traditional banana plug speaker connectors. I had to wire them by stripping down to the wire. The center channel version accepts the banana plugs fine, but the towers do not. If you want to hook up using the banana plug speaker wire, DO NOT BUY THESE speaker. The speakers sound fine. This was my first experience using the scratch and dent option and WILL NOT be using again. I have purchased many products from Crutchfield and their customer service is top notch. The customer service person I called was nice and assured me the replacement grill and missing pieces will be sent to me. I will post a follow up review in the future once received. I hope this is helpful to others. Doing it all over again, I would order new; but not sure if these speakers were defective in that they did not work using banana plugs. This was a frustrating experience. If you are the type of person who does not want to be hassled in returning a product, repackaging it, don't purchase.

Replaced my Klipsch bookshelf speakers.

I wanted true floor model speakers for a long time and after reading about these I determined I wanted these because of the internal design and speakers size. I was going to go with my favorite Klipsch speakers But these had some better reviews and I wanted speakers more set up for loud music not Tv viewing. These speakers are still being broke in but they are so clear I feel like I am at a concert back in the 70's again, You hear everything on vinyl or electronic. I played some John Lee Hooker and Professor longhair and it is crystal clear. I'm very happy with these speakers.

Excellent System Upgrade

I wanted to upgrade my speakers and did a significant amount of research into floor standing models. I decided on these based on their build quality, mid-range punch and solid value. They arrived in perfect shape and sound excellent paired with an ELAC 5.2 center and an SVS SB-2000 sub powered by a Marantz SR5015 receiver. I love the crisp, clear sound of these towers. You also can't beat the fact that Crutchfield gives you free shipping and their return policy gives you peace of mind. ELAC and Crutchfield...Both highly recommended.

Wonderful sound, great value

In my search for new speakers I utilized the listening comparison feature of the Crutchfield website. With this I was able to listen to the speakers I was interested in that fell within my budget. I was thoroughly taken with the ELAC F6.2s upon first hearing. They had the sound profile I was most looking for- at least through headphones and considering the limitations of the listening comparison system. I have had the speakers for 3 weeks and am extremely happy with them. I am hearing nuance and definition in music/recordings that have not been present (with my old system) for me until now. The F6.2s provide a remarkably good soundstage with both separation and depth. The mids and highs have great clarity and the bass is accurate. Yes, there are speakers with more bass reach and boominess but that does not mean that the ELACs are without bass reach. Out of the ELACs the low C pedal of Bach's Passacaglia in c minor is tight, accurate, and musical. It is not just some low note flopping and wobbling around in a big old bucket. They produce bass with definition rather than just a frequency. My surprise moment was when listening to a very familiar piece I realized that a tuba was brought into the mix in the last verse. These ELACs more than fill the bill for me and I am enjoying them immensely.

These are wonderful speakers. The mid and highs are especially good...clear and defined sound. My room is 20x16 feet and they are plenty powerful to fill the room with sound. Low end is good for listening to music but a sub woofer adds a nice punch to the sound when using in home theater. Crutchfield service and advice excellent as usual. Speakers arrived day after ordering.

Beautiful clarity

I love these speakers. When I started to get serious about replacing my old Polk speakers I narrowed my choices down to Revels, Wharfedales and these ELACS. After doing extensive research I went with the ELACS (yes, their price was a major factor in my decision). I've had these for a little over a month now and don't regret my decision. The bass has a nice punch to it without being overbearing. The mids and highs are crystal clear without being shrill. I don't experience listening fatigue like I've experienced in the past with other speakers. The details of the music are there without being in your face. I've experienced zero buyers remorse with these.

Perfect with a Sub

I put these up against a set of Klipsch RP-8000F speakers which, while somewhat unfair, made me realize how good these speakers sound. They were more pleasant to listen to and not as sharp. There is a slight edge with the Klipsch in very bright/edgy sounds but I didn't like it and felt the Elac more listenable. One caveat, these really need a subwoofer to go along with them. Unless you crank them up the bass is lacking but I think you'd be much better served in many circumstances with a good subwoofer and the money saved vs larger towers can easily be put towards that to gain a better experience for music and movies.

Transparent and sooo detailed

I was pointed in ELAC's direction by a friend of mine who writes for Stereophile. Limited budget, so the Debuts were my best choice. Connected to a Marantz PM5005 and triedmy favorite reference LPs and CDs on it. I'm blown away by how much detail, clarity and transparency I'm hearing compared to my Focal Chorus Vs. And talk about a difference in bass. I listen to a lot of acoustic music like the David Grisman Quintet and Django, and these speakers move a lot more air in the bass spectrum. So a subwoofer will one day soon join my system. They create an expansive, detailed soundstage and I'm hearing content and detail I never knew was there. That's my only gripe; this speaker reveals how much more I could be getting, especially on the bass end. My scratch & dents did indeed come with a dented metal tweeter girl, but it's purely cosmetic. Fantastic job by Andrew Jones and ELAC. Highly recommended.

I still need my subwoofer, but brings joy to listen!

My pair of ElacDebut 2.0 F's are part of a complete surround 7.1 set up. These are voiced to match the B's very well. The C has a little response bump for dialogue. They blend together nicely for theatre use. I find that for music I prefer these in a simple 2.1 arrangement. Oh My, the Clarity! As I said in a review of the B's, the treble is just *there*. It doesn't grab you. It doesn't demand your attention. It is expertly blended into a completely neutral sound. For the large (25 x25) room that these are in with hard surfaces everywhere, these are a great match. In a room with lots of fabrics, they might be a little muffled. YMMV. The bottom octave (20-40) is absent, as might be expected using a couple of 6" speakers for bass. Hence the need for the sub. It was a good thing they were packed in double boxes because the outer boxes were pretty beat up when they arrived, and the styrofoam inside was damaged from some rough handling. I documented the unboxing, but the speakers survived just fine. Others have commented on the boring black vinyl covering, but at this price point, I prefer sound over looks, and I think I got it.

Love my ELAC Debut 20 F6.2

Fantastic! Very happy with these speakers! Was a little worried about the base levels given some of the reviews. No complaints there at all, base is great, good separation, crossovers do a good job, highs and mid-range are pronounced. Gives my setup good non-directional sound from the front, instruments float instead of punch from the speakers. My Denon AVR-2311Ci drives them to annoy-your-neighbors level without any drama. Ran them through from Lana Del Rey, Beck, Tame Impala and Green Day to get a good range, these speakers do not get in the way of any of them! Looking forward to trying some jazz and classical.

I am using these speakers as my fronts in a 9.1 surround system. so far they sound great, good high and mid-range lacking in the bass department, but I guess thats why we have sub woofers. So far I like the sound of these speakers however the one thing I didn't like is the vinyl vernier, the edges needed a touch up with a black marker. I would of returned if I paid full price, but not that big of a deal to fix. Cruchfield was great, would decently use them again.

ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2

Reviewing a speaker is so difficult. Everyone has a different perspective on what is a quality sound for them. These speakers are well made, sturdy, and have some weight. A-B comparison of these with the ones they were replacing (Advent speakers from the 1980s): unbelievable improvement! The transient response, rich deep bass, revealing highs, and defined midrange--especially on voice--showed the improvements in sound quality. To my ears they are smooth and capture all the sounds I have been missing. Previously, I had purchased the ELAC bookshelf speakers and that is what convinced me to buy these for another system. They have given new life to CDs and high res files. I really do not think you would be disappointed. They are supplied with sharp carpet grips and I recommend using them if the install is on carpet. They assist in stabilizing the speaker--not needed for hard scape installations. The speaker is tall and narrow--depending on the thickness of your carpet you will notice that they have an unsure feel unless you use the supplied sharp feet. There is also a provision on the rear top of the speaker to secure it via wire or chord to a wall. The speakers handle power very well...placement near a corner will affect the bass response.

I purchased these speakers for 2 reasons one because I have limited space the second reason is because of the great reviews. I have to say that I am very pleased. I have just recently got back in to home theater I left about 20yrs ago so I looking for an entry level system to start out but still wanted good quality and I find that the Elac F6.2 fit the bill perfectly. For the first time I actually understand what the reviews are talking about the great sound from mids and the High's I don't know about the bass because I also have 2 klipsch 10subs but for the price I can't see any body going wrong .if u want good sound and don't want to $500 or more for each speaker and want the sound of a speaker costing much more I recommend the Elac Debut series very satisfied

Outstanding, Clean Sound!

These are great speakers. I found them to be outstanding with all music and at all listening levels. I had them set up in traditional triangle about 7 feet apart, toe in to listening position and voices were coming from the center. Clarity and Clean is the best way I can put it. On sale or full price, they are a great value. A nice wood veneer would be nice but then the price goes up. Here you are paying for quality drivers. I ending up sending them back, trading up to KEF LS50, after a full-just under the 60 day return policy, just because I wanted to see what the next level of performance you get going up the ladder in price. Crutchfield is great about the return policy and great help in advice!

It amazes me how much sound comes out of these speakers. I have a relatively small, furniture packed room. The important thing is that splitting the bass to the two 6.5 inch drivers does the job well. Some folks with small rooms may not need a subwoofer. They rival the 8" drivers I had in my previous big heavy, 48" high, 3 way floor speakers.

Wonderful sound, fantastic buy

Terrific sound. I have an Onkyo tx rz620 driving them as I may eventually expand to surround sound. Also have a klipsch r-120 subwoofer for low end based on the reviews I read about low end on these speakers. Incidentally my subwoofer cable broke (thanks Crutchfield for sending a replacement so quickly) so I was using speakers without sub. They sounded great for the wide variety of music I like. The low end was solid enough. I would have sent the sub back if not for the great price (and eventual expansion to surround sound). If I knew that I wasn't going to expand system, no genuine need for sub. Very happy with the speakers. Final note - I put rubber feet on them (Stick on type from big box home store) as I have hardwood floors in living area. I was unable to locate the pointed, metal feet for use on carpet. If you have carpet, make sure they are included in box.

Great Sound, Great Price

Very happy that I chose the Elac Debut 2.0 series for upgrades to my fronts and center. I can't say enough about how good they sound, especially for the price. These towers are detailed and highly resolving, while still able to produce a good bit of energy in the room. On quality tracks, musical instruments sound like instruments, not recordings of them. We are enjoying listening to more complex music such as classical more often now, simply because it is so much more enjoyable to listen to on these speakers. I installed these towers along with a matching Debut C6.2 center and a pair of SVS12-NSD subs. Even though low frequency reproduction is pretty good on these towers, the subs allow for high energy in the sub-60 hz range. I've played test tones to see where the real frequency roll-off is, and it seems somewhere around 50 hz to me. Not that it's quiet at 40 hz, but roll-off is very noticeable there, and it won't exactly thump the room in that range like a sub can. But if you add a sub or two, you've got quite a combo with these towers. Above the very low frequency stuff, these towers have no problem getting to high volume with modest power. I'm only running a 90 wpc AVR, and I have no problem getting these speakers to uncomfortable volume levels (even without heavy content for the subs). Fit and finish is better than I expected. They won't win beauty contests, but they are simple and handsome. In summary, I can't believe I paid so litt

Pleasing Speakers

I've had these a few weeks now and they have about 80 hours play time. I haven't thrown a lot at them they can't handle content-wise. Upper-mid rolloff is much better than I thought it would be. Cymbal crashes, high hat subtleties, finger snaps, piano keys, etc are articulate and clear. I wouldn't use these without a sub. Below 100hz they are straining and get sloppy. I highly recommend the F6.2 for a nice, clear speaker that does not leave you fatigued. I have mine sitting on a pair of auralex foam isolation platforms and it helps tremendously. I auditioned these along with B&W, Martin Logan, Triangle, high-end Klipsch, Definitive, Wharfedale, and others including the higher end Elac. What I heard just did not justify the considerable difference in price. These are that good. I'm coming from a pair of Focal floor standers and believe it or not the Elac's are much more pleasing to listen to and are more accurate with red label recordings. It really bothers me when I read that a speaker is, "good for the money." Either they're good and pleasing to listen to or they aren't. There are a lot of speakers out there and either you like them or you don't. Crutchfield customer service is top rate. One of my speakers was missing a grill when they got here. That certainly isn't Crutchfield's fault. I called right away and they are to send out a new, replacement grill. My system: Outlaw 2160 Receiver Marantz TT 15s Marantz CD 6006 CD Pioneer R

True Hi-Fi

$199 ea on Black Friday sale? $400 a pair? Hands down the best value here at Crutchfield. This is an Audiophile speaker. Don't let the reviews that say the bass is weak fool you. The bass is outstanding! Calibration is everything. A. Jones designed these speakers like he did the Pioneer SP-F52 towers. Designed to play loud with zero harshness & chest punch bass! If you cannot get these to produce bass? Then you're a bluetooth type customer used to the mono pill. Take the red pill & wake up to Hi-Fi greatness with these Debut towers. I mean come on, $199 each for true 3 way, high element crossover towers? I guarantee, 2 of these upfront, 1 ELAC center & 2 ELAC B4 as surrounds and you'll have the ultimate surround setup. Detail in the soundfield will pop and give you goose bumps. I know how 3D the Andrew Jones speakers sound. True holographic, in the room sound.

They stay consistent through the volume range I have paced them through. Have yet to push them to their potential until they have some hours logged. I feel I got what I paid for as the cabinet is great. Nice and weighty, clean, and the spike mounts are nice. The triple rear vents are helpful in Elacs. I am able to run them closer to the wall slightly vs. others. I paid full retail and see them running 20 to 40 lower now so they are a good value, you wont be let down. Enjoy.

Let me start by saying that these speakers were shipped double boxed and arrived without damage. I am taking off one star due to the finish on the corners being rubbed off. It can be touched up but this is the first set of new speakers that I have ever had with this issue. Speakers sound very natural, highs are clear not harsh. Vocals sound very good. Bass is meh but I didn't buy them because of the bass. I have two subs for that duty. These play well at high volumes. I listen to a range of music genres (Pop, Country, Rock, Rap, Metal, New Age, Techno). Everything sounds great. I am hearing details that i have never heard before. At this price point I recommend buying them. They sounded much better than a 2000.00 set of Martin Logan's that I also listened to.

ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2

These speakers sound awesome with my Marantz 7011 receiver. At the scratch and dent price, they are a great value.
