Review on ELAC Debut 2.0 C6.2 Center Speaker in Black by Amanda Thomas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Placement matters

I added this center speaker to my 2 ELAC Debut B6.2 bookshelf speakers to create a 3.0 system. I've found this helps clarify dialogue, but only when placed very close to ear level and carefully centered. The manufacturer also highlights the location, but I wasn't able to track it closely at first and the results were poor. A foot or so difference in pitch makes a big difference in the perception of sound. So keep in mind that you need to be able to pretty much pinpoint that huge center speaker to get the most out of it. Also, I've found that the bass from this speaker distorts dialogue unless heavily attenuated with the AVR's EQ. Let other speakers carry the bass.
