- Question Starting a home theater setup with 2.0
Again, there was lots of detail retrieval in the individual notes, with good tonality, and I could easily make out Walker’s breathing during his playing. I want to say that some of the highest notes were a little mellower sounding than I remember on some other speakers that I like but not objectionably so. “Smooth and clean” are the top-of-mind descriptors that I wrote in my notes. Same applies to the accompanying piano which stayed more in the higher registers than the one in the Gorka track.
This chart shows the horizontal on-axis frequency response of the ELAC F6.2 speakers directly compared to its 15, 30 and 45-degree off-axis measurements. Everything below 300 Hz is governed by room modes and is less of a concern at this point with this measurement. The 30 and 45-degree plots stay admirably close to the first two until about 3.5 kHz where they begin to show the expected amount of decline.

In each case, I came away very impressed with the sound quality that is now available for a modest asking price. The B5.2 bookshelf speakers actually found their way into my older son’s bedroom system. The foam surrounds of the older speakers he was using at the time basically dried up and disintegrated.
When it strictly comes to looks, the ELAC Debut 2.0 speakers are about as straightforward and unassuming as you might expect, given their value-oriented nature. As simple black boxes go, I have seen bigger ones that visually dominate a room far more than these do. The svelte faces of the Debut 2.0 help them to disappear a bit and draw less attention to themselves. I noticed no surface blemishes on any of the finishes and the cabinets felt firmly put together and elicited no hollow noises when subjected to the knuckle-rap test. Sarco, Thanks for the reply I know about the space issue with movies like 1941 & 2012 at the end to solve.

On an individual basis, I think it would be fair to say it was the little OW4.2 on wall speakers’ performance that surprised me the most. Their low-profile design and the smaller mid-woofer driver did not have me expecting very much initially. But ARC found them to have a low-enough reach to set an 80 Hz crossover automatically and my ears found them to be able to throw a massive and convincing rear sound field. For movies, rear effects sounded big and bold when they needed to, yet there was plenty of detail to render the subtleties of things like raindrops, birds chirping and distant sound cues effectively. The little OW4.2s were more than able to keep up with the larger front 3 speakers in painting a complete and enveloping sonic picture. Best of all, not only were sounds panning from back to front seamless in image and timbre, but pans that moved from side to back to other side were completely convincing.
Carlo subsequently spent a lot of time in his room…As he grew older, he would spend countless hours in downtown Toronto stereo shops, listening to all manner of gear and picking the brains of the various store owners. Through that formative experience, Carlo developed and appreciation for good music, and for good sound reproduction. The question of what makes one piece of equipment sound better than another is something that he’s always found fascinating. Also, as a budding graphic artist, the aesthetic aspects of a given piece of gear became increasingly of interest to his eyes. It was at about that time as well that Carlo began purchasing “Audio Magazine” on a regular basis and came to appreciate, in particular, the writing and reviewing of the late Leonard Feldman.

If you ever want to add surround sound you can do so without any additional equipment, besides the surround speakers, $50-infinity. It still sort of amazes me that this franchise has carried on for as long as it has but, putting that aside, the actors, story and first-rate visual and audio quality make for an enjoyable time with this particular entry. The ELAC Debut 2.0 system just had a field day with this soundtrack, right from the word “Go”! I felt that every channel got to completely show off its dynamic capabilities. That way they wouldn't be in the ear of the person sitting next to the wall. Unless we have people over no one would be sitting there anyways.
SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity was launched in 1994 as the first major publication offering serious audio/video journalism on the Internet. Ability to visually recall the calibration curve in use on the Sub Control 2.0 app. Subwoofer Auto-EQ works well and App suite provides an innovative range of control. So far, Solo and Rogue One have been the only two enjoyable bright spots in a depressing array of Star Wars prequels and sequels.

I've been asking around various places and people trying to make an informed decision. Here's a little bit of information that might be useful. Right from the opening of “Space Intro” the circular panning synthesizer effect is completely encompassing and seamlessly transitions from rear to the side to front and across.
So its a mystery how we are suppose to name the file for this to work as I've tried several ways and none work so far. Keeps giving me that it can't match it to a movie or show and when I try game of thrones season 2 some dang imax poster comes up which is wrong and there's no other listing that's even close. Top or side mounted binding posts for on-wall surrounds for added ease of installation. Impressive overall sound quality that belies their price points. Being the age that I am, it goes without saying that I am more than a little familiar with this album having owned it on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD. Even though this 5.1 Surround mix is only 16-bit/48 kHz resolution, that’s more than sufficient for this material and it’s a hell of a lot of fun to listen to.

Benchmark audio tests of the ELAC Debut 2.0 speakers were conducted using a calibrated Umik-1 USB microphone used in conjunction with Room EQ Wizard software. Speaker on and off-axis measurements were conducted with the microphone placed at a 1-meter distance. Subwoofer measurements were done with the microphone placed at 1-foot away from each respective driver.
As a complete home theater system, the ELAC Debut 2.0 present themselves as a thoroughly, sonically seamless package. Listening to some surround sound music material quickly revealed how tightly voiced this entire system is. There was no noticeable timbral change when music moved from towers to center to surrounds and back.
My only issue with this subwoofer actually has to do with the calibration app. Once you run the calibration and accept the results, they are loaded into the sub and you never get to see the results graph again. The original Sub Control app allowed me to recall the curve when I wanted, and I wish the latest app did that as well.
Id rather build a solid 2.0 system now that can be expanded upon than to get an inferior 5.0 system now. I've been looking at the Polk S55, the Fluance XL7F, BIC PL-89 II, and many others. I've also been looking at the Fluance Signature Series, even though they are a bit out of my price range. Honestly, I'm in information overload and completely new to home theater audio. That's why I'm turning to you to hopefully be able to help me make an informed decision.
