ELAC - Uni-Fi 5-1/4" 140-Watt Passive 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black

I read the many positive reviews of this model and watched Zeos Pantera speak the best phrase to sum up these boxes: “What you are getting [with the UB5] is IMAGING.” Compared to the B6, which these replaced, the UB5 has a much better ability to place musical instruments above, below, and between each speaker. Truly a step up from the B6, with the right recording this speaker will treat you to being able to hear and actually point to each musician playing in front of you. There are numerous audiophile grade recordings that will entertain your ears through these speakers like no other. I will say that they have their use and place, and are not the best for complex rock tracks-actually reminded me of the invisible veil that people refer to the B6 as having. Not distortion, but just a veil over the upper range at medium to loud volumes. My UB5s are connected to my Yamaha AS801, an amp with a reputation for being clean and neutral- with plenty of power to spare. Great speakers for jazz, yacht rock and audiophile acoustic recordings.

I am blown away by these speakers! As someone who owns some pretty high-end audio products, I can not believe how sweet these speakers sound! The reviews and hype around these speakers are real! The sound stage is amazing, I mean really amazing, as is the details you hear in music! If your on the fence, don't be! You will not regret buying these speakers! I do have them hooked up to a powerful amp ( 440 watts into 4 ohms) so only at the 9 o'clock position they are plenty loud, but loudness isn't really want its about for me. It's more about the sound and these speakers have an excellent sound to them! Very happy with this purchase and I can't recommend the Elac UB5's enough! Wow, just WOW!

Do your homework! You will see 99.9% of reviews are 5 stars and rightly so! These bookshelves have no rival at this price range. Tight base, very balanced, and absolutely stunning. They are power hungry, so no less than 140wpc recommended. Bravo Andrew Jones ! I still haven't fully broken them in and the sound can only get better. My advice is trust blindly because I wasn't able to find these on display anywhere.

Designed by Andrew Jones and did not failed. Never regret of buying this speaker because I'm very satisfied from what I'm hearing from this speaker. I don't think I will need a separate subwoofer, very powerful bass. Very satisfying high and mids. I love this speaker.

I have keen hearing and these speakers are phenomenal! I have the entire UniFi Series complimenting my 7.2 Surround setup. Elac is competition at its best within the price range. Amazingly RICH sound! You'll have bragging rights with the bookshelfs for sure! Enjoy!

I can't believe the excellent sound of this speaker for this price . absolutely satisfied with my purchase .

I don't hear what all the fuss is about don't get me wrong they look great and sound just average to me not bad but not great.
