ELAC - Debut 2.0 5-1/4" Floorstanding Speaker (Each) - Black

The sound quality of the speakers are awesome and not space consuming.

Very happy with these speakers. Sound quality is great and design is attractive.

Bought this as part of my home theater system. ELAC just sounded the best for home theater - vocals were clear and weren't drowned out by special fx sounds. This floor speaker was the perfect size and look - not too big and the style was simple and easy to work into the overall look of our living room.

I wanted to like these, I really did. I purchased the center speaker of the ELAC debut 2.0 series and it was a signicant improvement over the Sony core center speaker it replaced. I was impressed with the clarity and lack of distortion at high volumes (set to small) of that center speaker that I was exited to try the larger floor model. Compared to my 12” Fischer tower speakers from 1994, these were clear but started to distort at higher volumes (have a Yamaha tsr-8750 behind it all) and that didn’t sit well with my ears. Prior I had a Sony 4K receiver and the Sony core tower speakers (Scss-3) and maxing out the amp didn’t distort any sounds (except making the listener temporarily deaf). Perhaps the amp is too strong but for whatever the reason I didn’t like them. Those Sony towers are my go to for clear music and movies. Don’t consider myself an audiophile as I don’t have 20k speakers in my home, but at least I would like to have my chest rumble with the beats.
