![]() ![]() It’s like the speakers just magically have all the bass I need. I thought my previous woofer was fine, but this thing blends with the speakers to where I can’t tell where the speakers stop and the subwoofer starts. 7, 2017: My old subwoofer broke down, so I swung by Best Buy and picked up a Pioneer SW-8MK2 made by the ELAC B6 designer, Andrew Jones, before he went to work for ELAC. The B6s go deep enough you can set the crossover at 80Hz, which is impressive. The one I personally use is out of production, but ELAC also makes a woofer which should sound great paired with the B6s. If you like a bit more presence in your music, I highly recommend mating them with a subwoofer. Hard to beat for the price ($280 as of this writing). They are bookshelf speakers and the laws of physics are what they are. That being said, you will not run a rave off of these things. The adjective that springs to mind is crisp. So after a bout of audiophile forum skimming I purchased a pair of ELAC B6 from Amazon.Īfter listening to them for a few weeks, I’m impressed! They have a huge soundstage and are very clear and defined, especially in the treble and midrange. Which were a hundred dollars less than their own top pick. The first site I recommend checking when looking to purchase pretty much anything to do with electronics is The Wirecutter, and sure enough, they had a comprehensive review of bookshelf speakers, including a link to a frothing review of the new offering from ELAC on CNET. To set expectations, what you’re getting here is the opinion of a person who listens to a lot of music, who spends a bit more on headphones than he probably should, and who has a decent ear, but not a person who takes out a second mortgage to buy better gear or who runs a test lab in his basement. My old system, a small Yamaha bookshelf stereo, did provide decent sound, but I wanted a step up without breaking the bank. It was time to update my living room stereo. ![]()
