ELAC Debut F5 |
 |
- Upper class - Price-performance: outstanding
- Directly aimed at the ears, the Debut F5 can be recognized as very harmoniously coordinated speakers that sound wonderfully round in all situations and enable long listening sessions without symptoms of fatigue.
- Spatially, the Elacs play to the point, the center location is exact, voices and instruments are displayed in the correct size.
- Singing is reproduced authentically and very clearly. even fine voice variations are easy to understand.
- The bass reproduction is also convincing: pressure, depth and precision leave little to be desired. Up to a very respectable level, the bass makes an extremely confident impression.
- The tweeter shows its relaxed side. Details are in abundance, but the level, which is reduced to the highest frequencies, never makes the performance seem obtrusive.
- Laboratory In front of our measurement microphone, the Elac Debut F5 speakers give a balanced picture. The radiation behavior is very good, the amplitudes are almost identical when viewed on axis and below 15 degrees. Except for a few residual resonances, the waterfall diagram is also inconspicuous.
- Conclusion In sunny California, Andrew Jones built fine speakers for Elac, which play into the hearts of listeners thanks to their extremely long-term sound image. The Elac Debut F5 sounds very harmonious and plays well in all registers, coupled with a great atmosphere. With the estimated price of just 760 euros the pair will receive music enthusiasts who are interested in beautifully designed speakers with impeccable workmanship.

ELAC Debut F5: Price / performance: "Very good"
"Contrary to the visual impression, an acoustically surprisingly powerful floorstanding box. Slightly unbalanced, on the one hand decent draft, on the other hand also very brilliant. In terms of price (almost) unbeatable.”

ELAC Debut F5:
"With careful placement, the Elac F5 deliver a balanced bass that blends in pleasantly with the overall sound without exaggerating excessively. The loudspeakers still reach deep down and bass runs get a gnarled character that does not change even at high volume. Distortion? I search in vain!
The middle area brings a slightly warm note, which ensures a pleasant basic tone and gives the speakers their musical character. Voices and instruments are resolved equally well and provided with a good portion of depth representation. It is fun to listen to the Elacs because they are free of overemphasis and do not push themselves into the foreground like a diva.
Andrew Jones did not reinvent the wheel with the Elac F5, but instead put a very good speaker in an affordable price range. Musicality counts more here than being absolutely perfect in detail."

The 3-way bass-reflex Debut F5 offers a combination of advanced technical prowess, lively edge-of-your-seat sound, and supreme build quality for a price the high-end has never seen. Jones' involvement is alone worth the cost, but with Debut F5, you get so much more. A brace-sectioned MDF cabinet. Tweeter and midrange/bass drivers custom-designed by Jones. A 5.25-inch woven aramid-fiber woofer with oversized magnets and vented pole pieces. A deep-spheroid tweeter waveguide for improved directivity. A cloth-dome tweeter and customized eight-element crossover.
"Their performance is impressive without reference to price, while their value rating is off the charts, and even right off the paper. Any speaker shoppers as careful of their dimes as their dollars must audition the ELAC speakers. Highly recommended!"

Braced MDF Cabinet Minimizes Vibrations, Aramid-Fiber Cones Add Strength and Smoothness
Two vertical braces strengthen and stiffen the cabinet, helping minimize unwanted vibrations that can discolor music or movie content. Woven aramid fiber offers a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio and damping over common polypropylene or paper cones. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended frequency response.
Andrew Jones-Designed Drivers Match Intricate Crossover, Spheroid Waveguide
Andrew Jones custom-designed both the tweeter and bass driver to deliver an exceptional audio experience that can't be delivered with typical off-the-shelf parts. A custom crossover with audio-grade components ensures smooth transition between drivers. In addition, a custom-designed tweeter waveguide with a deep spheroid profile improves directivity control and shields the tweeter wavefront from cabinet diffraction. |
