The Reference Series' waveguide and grille design enhance upper high-frequency response.

Two front-firing, dual-flared slot vents allow for lower noise and higher bass output for improved bass dynamics.

A full-perimeter brace that joins the top and side panels significantly lessens cabinet vibrations, minimizing cabinet coloration.

Dual cast chassis woofers provide improved stiffness for both strengthening the front baffle and minimizing chassis resonances.

Oversized ceramic magnets produce high motor strength for powerful bass reproduction.

The top and bottom plates are constructed from low carbon steel for high magnetic conductivity to maximize flux density.

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. is this a single speaker wire? For 1 or 2 speakers? Other vendors have this as enough for two speakers. BH #ELRSPW10FTP • MFR

A: The ELAC Reference Sensible Speaker Wire with Dual Banana to Banana Connectors (10'), BH # ELRSPW10FTP, is designed for a single speaker input of a negative and positive conductor. Two of these cables would be required for a stereo pair of passive speakers.

Q: 3. Is possible to surface mount these to the ceiling to use as Atmos ceiling speakers? Thanks!

A: No. Wall brackets are included though.

Q: 4. Is a Onkyo TX-8020 Stereo Receiver good for this set?

A: Yes. These ELAC speakers will perform very well with your receiver: Onkyo TX-8020: 50 watts x 2 (stereo) into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD

Q: 5. Is this speaker powered or does it require an amplifier?

A: An amplifier or receiver is required o power this speaker.

Q: 6. Do these ideally need max 120 watt input PER speaker or 120 total?

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

Q: 7. 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: 8. 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.

Q: 9. Will these speakers work well as rear channel speakers with a system powered by a Yamaha RX-V485 receiver?

A: Yes they will very well as rear surround speakers.

Q: 10. What is the country of manufacture?

A: It is made in China.

[MDF] They’re in a large space (a so-called great room). Working from a 75W Yamaha amp. Really good sound.

[25.835 lb] Couldn't decide if I wanted these or higher cost B & W's but these were well worth it and priced well for the audio quality they provide.

[8 Ohms] These floor speakers are very compact, but they still pack decent bass punch, smooth mids and clear highs

[87 dB] Initially I didn't like it too much.
It had too warm sound for me.

But after I adjusted EQ for it and spent few weeks with it, now I love it.

I made following EQ adjustments:
63Hz, 125Hz and 250Hz - minus 3dB.
And 1kHz - plus 2dB.

And crossovers:
90Hz

I compared it with Paradigm Premier 500C and B&W HTM6 S3.

And I like this ELAC much more.

Paradigm has no energy and dynamics in sound.
And B&W is to sharp for me. Warmer is better than sharper for movies as for me.

Also my wife likes ELAC design. It matches with our new shelf color.

And I took it with 200 USD off on some good sale on B&H.

For 260 USD it is super hard to beat by price/quality.

So, I decided to keep it for my sound system. Movies became much more enjoyable with this center speaker.

I highly recommend it.

[120 W ] The sound, build and finish of these is positively incredible. Listening to my music library, with them powered by the marantz model 30 is like hearing it for the first time all over again.

They have a pleasant roll off on highs, so everything is crisp, but nothing feels piercing. Mids are splendid. The low end leaves a little to be desired for sub bass, but that’s expected from this type of speaker. The lows this does cover are powerful and robust.

The one quirky thing about them, is the feet are not attached. They are little spikes and platters that you rest them on. This means it is *always* a two person job to move the speakers. Not an issue, if you don’t move them often, but I could see that being a problem for some people.

Overall though, I simply cannot recommend these enough. They are fantastic.
