ELAC DEBUT 2.0 B6.2 LOUDSPEAKERS

Elac’s original Debut series, designed five years ago, was a true debut… and in more than one sense, because not only was it the first series of its type from Elac, it was also the first series designed for Elac by famous speaker designer Andrew Jones after he’d been hired by the famous German manufacturer to be its Vice President of Engineering. (Jones having previously been chief speaker designer at KEF… after having also worked at both Infinity Systems and Technical Audio Devices).

Despite the model numbers in this series changing only slightly, through the addition of a ‘.2’ to the various models (so the B6.2 we’re reviewing here is the successor to the original B6), the speakers are completely different, with new drivers, new cabinets and new crossovers. Speaking of which, it would seem that somewhere along the line, someone at Elac decided that adding a ‘.2’ to the end of the model number did not really give a hint of the magnitude of the change, so they also added ‘Debut 2.0’ as a prefix to the model number, hence the full (and rather difficult!) model name: Debut 2.0 B6.2.
