The Reference’s appearance hits us first. The original DB62 performs well – I have a pair – so today we ask: is the new Reference version worth the extra money? And also: how does the Debut Reference compare to a far more costly standmount loudspeaker? We get a string of technical and cosmetic enhancements over the original Debut 2.0 B6.2 (henceforth referred to as the DB62) for an extra £170. With its Debut Reference standmount loudspeaker (£499/€499/US$599), ELAC has done both. In audio, tweaks can start with enhanced looks – say a different finish or colour – and run all the way to significant re-engineering. The customer gets more choice and those dropping more cash get a better product. Get the formula right and you sell more whilst benefiting from economies of scale in R&D and production. Will that automatically mean that the Music will sound better and fuller at low volume ? On the other side the LS50 is a 1200€ speaker that i can get for 666€, while the Elac is a 600€ speaker that i would get for 600€.It’s a common strategy across the automotive and entertainment industries: tweak an existing product, offer it alongside the existing one and charge a premium for the ‘special’ version. Will the LS50 sound good at low volume without a subwoofer ? It goes only down to 79Hz, while the Uni-fi UB52 goes down to 46Hz at -3db. I will pair them with an Rotel RA 12 amplifier and i don't plan to buy a subwoofer. The room acoustics is also not the best, but i will mostly listen in nearfield, about 1.5 Meter away from the speaker. But i am not sure if there are other alternatives, that are better for me or if i should just get the LS50.Ĭurrently i live in a small room in a student residence which is poorly soundproofed so i have to be careful with the volume. I live in Germany and i could get the LS50 new for 666€, which sounds almost to good to be true. I am looking for a new pair of bookshelf speaker in the price range of 400-700€.
