The tweeter features a wide-roll surround and brings response up to 35 kHz for enhanced high frequencies. The waveguide also helps improve directivity control and eliminate the diffraction modes common to speaker enclosures.

The shape of the aramid fiber cone is designed to offer augmented stiffness and damping characteristics over polypropylene or paper cones, helping to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response. The woofer also features an oversized magnet and a vented pole piece.

The cabinets are designed for easy integration into your listening room thanks to their shallow depth of less than 4". Their bass-reflex design helps deliver full-frequency performance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is Yamaha R-N303D Network Stereo Receiver capable of bringing out the best from this pair of speakers?

A: These are very sensitive 6 ohm speakers. The Yamaha R-N303D, while an excellent receiver, is not designed for 6 ohms, and is less than ideal. It can power the speakers, but could conceivably be damaged at high volume.

Q: 2. Can it be wall mounted?

A: Yes. 100 %. 6.2 way to go for wall mount. Put them on wall shelves or hang etc. Important point is the breather is on front.

Q: 3. Does a Dayton Audio SUB-1000 subwoofer pair with these or not needed for listening to music?

A: I do not see why not. The subwoofer choice is more defined by the size of the room and the the type of music listened to.

Q: 4. What level sound output do I feed to these speakers? Can the output be from the line-out port on a laptop?

A: A line output signal will not sufficiently drive the Polk Audio RC85i In-Wall Speakers (Pair), BH # PORC85I, to any quality, audible level. Recommended amplifier power for these speakers ranges from 20 to 200 watts RMS at 8 ohms.

Q: 5. Will I notice an improvement from the Elac Debut 2.0 6.2?

A: Yes, these are much improved! THWE new series of Debut loudspeakers has been redesigned from the ground up: gone is the rear firing reflex port (now it is a front firing air duct), woofers and tweeters have been replaced by new units and the MDF cabinets have been reinforced to reduce colourations and vibrations.

Q: 6. Is a Onkyo TX-8020 Stereo Receiver good for this set?

Q: 7. Is ONKYO CR-N775D Receiver capable of bringing out the best from this pair of speakers?-powerfull enough?

A: The ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), B&H # ELDB62BK, can handle a total power input of 120W, which the Onkyo CR-N775D Receiver would not provide in full.

Q: 8. Do these ideally need max 120 watt input PER speaker or 120 total?

A: The maximum recommended wattage is 120w per channel.

Q: 9. CAN I USE ELAC 2.0 A4.2 HAS REAR ATMOS SPEAKERS FOR dobby speaakers?

A: The ELAC Debut 2.0 A4.2 Atmos Add-On Speakers (Pair), BH # ELDA42BK, may be used for the Dolby Atmos channels.

[Black] Instant improvement over previous setup. The dimensions are true bookshelf. No compromise on space. I listen mostly to HD FLACs and the fidelity is superb. An important feature is the front port as you eliminate any undue vibration from the cabinetry. Jr Lightweight Champion of the World! 5

[L/R Pair] Used the ELAC Debut 2.0 OW4.2 on-wall speaker for my 5.1 surround setup. It came with small clips for wall mounting but I found it useless. Instead, I purchased proper wall mount speaker stands and they worked perfectly. The OW4.2 has two ports on the bottom of the cabinet so need to make sure the speaker stand does not block the ports. The speakers are well made and the perfect size for my room. 5

[87 dB] Im putting together a budget stereo system, speakers seemed to be the most important part in that scenario. I did a lot of research, TBH, I havent put a system together in a couple of decades. I came across a YouTube vid about the ELAC B5.2. I read another review online that gave them a very good review. Really good. They were more than I wanted to spend but every review was very positive. They do need to be broken in. What amazes me about them is not the powerful bass for a 5.25 speaker but the clean imaging, the clarity of the stage. Crystal clear and clean highs, non-exaggerated midrange and a strong bottom. Im running them through a 100 w/ch amp, there is plenty of bass. What I am impressed with is how they can expose a badly mastered CD and really shine on a good one. If 250.00 is your limit then you cannot do much better than this speaker system. I had never heard of B&H Video but took a chance, after I ordered I called them and changed the delivery location to a FedEx delivery location. (Porch pirates). Im impressed at the customer service, I would not hesitate to order from them again. 5

[2] If there is a better value in 5” driver bookshelf speakers out there, I’m unaware. The move to bring the port to the front made an already fabulous sounding speaker with smart design (Debut 1.0) even more versatile. Tight, solid low end down to 50-ish Hz. Smooth natural top end. Plenty of SPL for most living rooms and situations. Pair these with a well-tuned sub, and you’ve got a killer full range playback system. They need 20-30 hours of break in time. A great value at full MSRP. I took advantage of the absolute steal B&H pricing at $179. These are my second pair, purchased for my daughter’s small Brooklyn apartment. Could not be more pleased. 5

[2] Perfect addition to my very small entertainment room. The sound is amazing and the price was great! 5

[6 Ohms] Had bookshelf speakers for my HTC, but missed the musicality of my Polk Audios. These are bookshelf size, but are truely as rich as stand alones. For the price range, love to have the sound of music in my room again. 5
