Review on 🔊 ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 Center Speaker, Black: Enhanced Audio for Immersive Surround Sound Experience by James Baker

My neighbor and I are older and not smarter and we have 5 home theaters together. So we enjoy the never-ending pursuit of musical excellence (within limits) and have great fun competing together on the journey to musical Mecca. We're definitely sticking to the old school and enjoying the old legacies that were beyond our ability to raise children and pay off mortgages. Steve Gutenberg is our hero, he has advised us for many years and discussed how we were able to weed out many good things for the speakers that we think are magical. When I say 'magic' I mean speakers that pop up instantly and grab everyone's attention, and there's no denying that they sound superb. Well, ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 Center is a truly outstanding product and the undisputed champion. Another reviewer called it the Holy Grail of centers and I totally agree. What's interesting is the way the speaker projects the vocals, filling the void in the middle of the room. It's almost holographic, very rich and alive, like the singer of a band transforming in your living room. It quickly replaced my old Boston VR-10 speaker and it's not an easy task, but it's really good. It's not a small speaker, but it has enough cajons to fill the center of the stage beautifully. We installed this speaker in 4 out of 5 systems and the improvement was significant in all cases. It seems to fit any system and sounds unique in each configuration, what great quality! Giving her some juice only makes her feel bigger, fuller, and cleaner as she blooms and fills the room with sweet, velvety goodness. Needless to say my buddy ordered it and tonight this hub easily ticks all the boxes and adds a new one called Emotion (that smile on your face when your head shakes with jam). If your system is yawning a little (not impressive) and needs something to bring it up to wow standards, just add one of these babes to the mix and enjoy the upgrade. NO regrets, no going back. This is a very valuable thing. When starting a new system, choose other speakers, whatever they are, but reserve the central stage for the future "Hall of Fame" Elac!
