I recently purchased the Elac DBR62 Debut Reference Bookshelf Speakers and have been really pleased with the results. These speakers are a great size for the average living room and have a great look and sound to match.

These bookshelf speakers are great. Sounds are natural ,bass is well rounded. Highs are perfectly balanced. I have them hooked to a ps audio sprout. Love them together.

Just got the speakers. Very well packaged and shipped, and the bonus CD is a really interesting mix, revealing what these speakers can do.First impressions: Sounds quite nice off the box, and I really look forward to breaking it in. The aesthetics are reasonable. I noticed the vinyl seam at the bottom and felt that it was below par for something with a "reference" moniker. Moreover, these speakers did not even include any kind of insulation feet. Luckily, I do have some around the house. The wife however loved the looks, and remarked that the tweed in the front makes it look like a distinguished gent. Given that the speakers have passed the most important aesthetic test, I have no complaints, whatsoever. ;)A big shout out to Sean Smollon for carefully listening ... MoreJust got the speakers.

He was right on the money, and I have had yet another terrific experience with Upscale.

Very neutral- good dynamics- really good looking. A small REL sub would add the missing foundation.

I've had some great speakers over the years including a large pair of Martin Logan panel speakers (SL-3's) and these speakers top them all. I'm using a 300 watt per channel Classe amp and am able to use every watt on these puppies as they crank out sound that has to be heard to be believed. The bass is just unbelievable for a speaker of this size. A little boost on the low end with a sub and these speakers make everthing else a poor use of ones money. These are truly audiophile speakers at buget prices. Of course, if your someone that spends $10K on interconnects (yes they exist!) then the above is moot. If not then these deserve your attention.

Good speakers

They have nice depth in sound. I think they are a nice entry into my first set of “expensive” speakers. They sound better if you don’t have them on the floor.

Great Sound on a Budget

Office and remote listening system. Previous reviews are very accurate. Great all around balance and solid base for a small speaker. Good imaging on stands. ( Rockville wood stands for Elac Debut 6) I am powering them with a Parasound A23 and Classe CP35 Pre Amp. Transparent MusicWave Plus speaker cables - a bit of overkill but had them in storage. Blusound Vault Music Streamer. Nice all around speaker and great value.

Speakers

A present for my son. He loves the sound and very happy.

Worth the extra price over the cheaper model

I hooked these up to an aiyima a07 with a tube preamp and these things sound amazing! I have a better power supply, better tubes, and upgraded op-amps to go along with the budget equipment. It really sounds amazing. I can only imagine how these sound with a high quality amplifier. If you’re on the fence with the cheap B&W speakers and KEF’s but want a 6.5” woofer. These are a great middle ground if you want something that can be airy, present, and vocal. Don’t worry about bass because it’s there! The bass only gets deeper the farther away you are. Up close in a computer setup you may want a subwoofer as you won’t hear it as much. Buy these when on sale! $489

Decided to take a chance on these speakers after reading glowing praise from audiosciencereview, and I'm glad I did. These sound great! For reference, here is the review: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/elac-debut-reference-dbr-62-speaker-review.12232/Going through my favorite songs with these speakers took my breath away. In many cases it was the best experience I've ever had listening to the given song.audiosciencereview suggests to pair these with a "beefy" amplifier. To do this, I hooked up these speakers to the "Zone 3" of a Denon X4700H, which I also use for my home theater through the main zone. Based on ASR's comments, it might not be a good idea to get these speakers if you need something that works with a more compact ... MoreDecided to take a chance on these speakers after reading glowing praise from audiosciencereview, and I'm glad I did.

Based on ASR's comments, it might not be a good idea to get these speakers if you need something that works with a more compact amplifier.I recommend using some kind of room correction for these speakers. For that purpose I did something very rough to set up these speakers on my Windows PC. My motherboard's Realtek audio drivers come with a customizable EQ, and I adjusted the weights of the frequencies in that EQ to try to match a standard room correction target curve. To do this, I set up a microphone at my listening spot, and I got an app to display the microphone's recorded frequency, and I got an app to emit sound waves at desired frequencies. I played a sound wave at each frequency that I can control in Realtek's EQ, and I adjusted the EQ to tweak the loudness of frequencies to make them match the target curve. The very low and very high frequencies were hard to calibrate that way, so I tweaked those based on personal preference. I then went through a bunch of my favorite songs and made fine-tuned adjustments to try to get everything sounding just like I expect it to. This work really payed off - turning the custom EQ on and off is like night and day. That is all to say, highly recommend tweaking the EQ to bring out the best in these speakers.If you're all about that bass then you might want to pair these with a subwoofer, but in my opinion the bass of these speakers is pretty good on its own. It's juuuust deep enough to give a satisfying feeling of being wrapped in the sound, has given me the shivers a few times.If you're interested in other people's opinion, I recommend checking out the audiosciencereview thread linked above. That said, I think some people there who have negative impressions might just need to tweak something in their setup, like the EQ or the amplifier. Or maybe they have unrealistic expectations from a speaker of this size...?Overall, I give these speakers a solid recommendation.
