Review on 🎡 ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 (Black/Walnut) - Exceptional Audio Quality and Elegant Design by Evan Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great speakers!

I originally bought a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2 to pair with my Marantz PM7000n. Although very detailed, they were on the plus side and tiring to listen to for hours, especially the vocals. After reading and watching a few YouTube reviews, I came across Elac and Andrew Jones, a couple I had never seen before. It quickly became apparent that Elac had given one of the top speaker designers "full latitude" to create huge killers and he did just that with the DBR62. What you get with the DBR62 is a very flat and neutral overall sound with very impressive bass extension for its size, excellent midrange (which many other speakers lack that like to show off how high and low they can go, giving you a U- shaped frequency response), not to mention the sweetly delicate highs. The DBR62 also produces a very holographic image rather than giving you a fixed sweet spot (like my old Bronze 2 did). Listen to an insightful track like Yosi Horikawa's Bubbles and you'll understand. I also checked out the Elac Uni-Fi UB5 and preferred the DBR62 for its 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 has gone into the flesh of these speakers given the inferior vinyl wrap and exposed brackets around. 6.5 inch speaker. I totally agree with that because these speakers sound better than anything that costs twice as much; They will impress you and your audiophile friends.
