ELAC gifts his BS 602 X-JET, the Euro 5500 will cost as a couple, a very elaborate, two-way point with a spotlight on the scene unique combination of different forms of propulsion.

To use the tweeter a folded directly current-film membrane, which in a small chamber much noise builds, thanks to a very small surface, but little bundles. He encloses a dynamic, from an extremely large voice coil driven midrange with a circular flat membrane Aluwaben. The X-JET - the so-called ELAC only 11 centimeters wide marvel - is externally completely flat, so that no unwanted noise funnel leadership for the tweeter created.


The housing of the 602 is an extreme neutrality cultivated mix of aluminum and MDF. Asymmetric Sicken and strong magnets optimize the large signal behavior of the bass driver and enable the box to größenunüblichem draft. Measured 43 Hertz (relative to -3 dB) are a clear message - the same great audio data it can move at 69 Hertz.


The strengths of the BS 602 were quantitative and tonal nature. They climbed by far the deepest bass in the basement and had the most delicate treble. To general astonishment, the ELAC their advantage in bandwidth compared to the KEF only in very selected disks (for example, without further drum accompaniment) in scene set in the crucial middle but had the BS 602 then too good to be in this enormously strong field test at the top must be set.
