▶ Elac Debut Reference DBR-62

Hi,

Could you look in your 6.2’s bass port? Does it look like the filler is just hanging from the top? Both of mine look like this, but I dont know if they came that way. I’ve had them for a while.

I’ll go look in about an hour. I have an online meeting for work right now but once that’s done I’ll be able to check it out

Taking a wild guess: that’s the way they come.
Piece of filler covers partly the terminal / crossover.

There was few photos online with white acoustic material showing in the port.

Ok, just checked mine, and they look the same way. So I think that’s just what they’re supposed to look like, because mine are only about a year and a half old and basically went straight from the box onto the stand and haven’t moved since then, so they’re in pretty good condition

thinking about picking up a schiit vidar to power these once they get here. Any thoughts on the pairing? any vidar owners around?

This. Z does an exceptional job running through all the functionality of a component.

So been listening to these for a few days now. initial impressions: very clean sounding. bass is tight and present, but does not have a lot of punch to it. the bass is very fast though, has no issues keeping up with the tweeter. only have about 10 hours on them, need more time for woofer to break in. also running them off of a cheap hybrid tube amp. going to get a better amp soon. they are very easy to listen to. mids are the star of the show with these. all vocals sound amazing. top end is very detailed without being bright. these scream subwoofer. they play full range decently, but i feel they were designed knowing people using them would also be using a subwoofer. my qef q150’s, with a smaller woofer, have much more low end slam. but waaaay less refined or clean then these.

going to be breaking them in a lot more this weekend. very happy with these so far.

Might be related. Some tubes emphasize all the low-end and add smoothness to the lows, but by doing this they get rid of the… “punch” / “knock” / “slam” / “bass kick slam” (insert other synonym here)

Which would be a more competent 2 channel setup?

Focal Aria 906 (bookshelf) + Subwoofer or the Elac debut floorstanders?

Hello
What for version you have tested?Are you Happy with it today after your Listing test?
Your comment was 23 days ago,where be fine when you can give same review about.
I think about the Debut 6.2 Series.Connected on the Denon Pma 880 NE Amp.

I’ve always found Bookshelf + sub to sound better than floorstanders w/o sub. To add, floorstanders + sub would be ideal.
In addition, the two models of speakers have very different sound signatures by the way, so your experience may wildly vary.

i am loving them. still using the cheapo tube hybrid for now. in a couple weeks i plan on getting a parasound 275 v2. i am not really that concerned with the low end either. it has enough. and i will be using subs down the road. i also plan on getting a couple 100watt sub amps, or maybe a crown xls1002, to power a couple 10" woofers. i have a pair of vintage infinity floorstanders i replaced the drivers with modern, better ones. they have 10" woofers i am going to use for the time being as “subwoofers”.

the bass has opened up more as well as the woofer has had more time to break in. i think once i get a more quality amp, they will sound great. i have a sprout100 i may hook them up to one of these days. just a pain in the rump because these do not fit on my desk and that’s where my sprout100 is. working a ton of hours at the factory atm, so do not have a lot of time to move gear.

ron, at new record day, loved the floorstander version. but a sub always helps, even with majority of floorstanders. like veritas said, adding in a sub to anything helps the low end.

When I see “ELAC” takes me a minute to figure out it’s not Focal headphone. Every time.

That sounds good.
I listened to Zeo’s video about 6.2 with the headphones and was pretty flashed what I heard out there. Even my wife when I showed it to her on the Ipad after we brought the Quadral Phase 190 into the house, we were both disappointed .
They are super processed, have great mids and highs, but there is a huge lack of bass.
If only I had listened to my gut feeling instead of the dealer.
I have in the living room a pair from Elac which were built in 1994-1996.
The Edition one is called.
What they pop out after all these years is phenomenal.
I’m really still considering whether I should not put another sentence in the media room even if it was too violent for the room.
Unfortunately you can only find them on the used market.
Would like to have something small and sympatic where there are great mids and highs and a powerful bass, without a subwoofer.Because a subwoofer under the desk is not suitable for reasons of space and unnatural.

Mine are dbr 62s. The upgraded version of the 6.2. they sound much better and refined.

Zeos review incoming I guess, he just unboxed these.

ha! i got something before zeos! he will love them and recommend a sub. i find they could use a sub for very heavy bass oriented music. but for most music the bass is plenty.

edit: hes also the worst unboxer. those came out hella easy from the top one at a time.
