Who day, expensively looking and picture pretty ELACs stands there new FS 68. Four chassis decorate the finely processed, echtholzfurnierte housing of the florstanding loudspeaker of the new 60 Series from Kiel. And the specialists do not use any drivers, but rather for both 17.5 centimeters of through measuring depth as well as the 14er-Mitteltöner such with its well known high-value, just as stiff as easy and resonance poor aluminum-sandwich-diaphragm while in the heights one per lattice griffgeschützte, imprägnierte 25-Millimeter-Seidenkalotte 25-Millimeter-Seidenkalotte MILLIMETER 25-Millimeter-Seidenkalotte 25-Millimeter-Seidenkalotte works.
For the couple price of 800 Euro, there is also a special Gewebesicke for that in 600 Hertz getting into and in 2200 Hertz at the Tweeter delivering middle chassis, a highly efficient Neodym magnet system in the Tweeter as well as large wing spool in the Woofern that guarantee its high loading capacity. They are ventilated in addition over two reflection openings on the back, that can be locked in the case a wall near assembly with enclosed Schaumstoffpropfen half or also entirely and reduce so the bass energy.
This was not require in our hear room necessary, in the florstanding loudspeaker approximately 70 centimeter of wall distance – and get. ELAC high for the 108 centimeters with the thick, wide bottom disk that lends the loudspeaker standing stability nevertheless however on that included Spikes belonged, showed a reproduction too slim, very clean and natural in no way of the lower situations, that preserved abundance in knackiger inspection.
Also in the areas about that the FS68 let recognize no refuse vis-à-vis its more expensive colleagues. Middle and heights are open, transparently and lively. They become in any case through sore of an extra breath of fresh Baltic Sea breeze. Actually the ELAC has a present character. Stuck whether its therefore the spatial image just as far device like plastable?
The Kielerin draws your shimmering colors easily and stratified. The internal up specialty rings and representation of the structures of the sound pictures succeeds its also in complex passages effortlessly. For so much radiation and valence, the ELAC is already almost too favorable.
He who sees the ELAC, appreciates it more expensively. And who it hears, also. The standing loudspeaker large for its prices class with fine processing and high-value chassis sounds exceptionally cleanly, has dried onedierten bass and knackige dynamics. Therewith the FS 68 lines up itself into the sound philosophy of the Kieler specialist a – the small pinch of additional freshness inclusive. More loudspeaker is to be had for the money hardly. |
Comfortably well-balanced frequency course in the middle area, easy superelevations in bass and heights. Also ELAC means therefore to not to be able to forgo in this class a small shot extra Kick. Yet it is respect to bethat the heights fall out outside of the axis tamer (green line). To the parallel alignment, over presence can be avoided by the adept Winkelung of the loudspeaker. The Kielerin places no amplifier before problems – its impedance remains always between five and ten Ohm. In the leap answer, the chassis are to be sure individually visible, but the temporal Versatz between them remains low.
