AudioStereo -- ELAC ELECTROACUSTIC Romania

A name stands for the strategy

In fact, it is the name itself: Electroacustic. This is because the basic principle of the company, added value from ELAC, stands for engineering ingenuity, which constantly produces top performance at ELAC. This element has distinguished ELAC ever since the company was first founded back in 1926. And it still applies to this day. In the process, we have very specific ideas about how we develop and produce our speakers. They must satisfy the exacting standards we set ourselves. In this regard, it is about acoustics - as the name already suggests, about realistic sound. Authenticity. Adding nothing, leaving nothing out. It is all about quality, about longevity and reliability. And of course about fascination. The result? Exceptional speakers for hi-fi stereo and surround applications, sophisticated PC speakers and other applications for electro-acoustic transducer systems in unsurpassed sound, technical and visual quality.

ELAC FS 509 VX-JET - AUDIO (February 2012 issue)

ELAC FS 609 CE - AV Magazine (December 2011 issue)

"I wrote down almost two pages on my personal notebook only descriptions of how these speakers behave in terms oftransients. As for the body of the instruments, the materialization and dynamic musical event , the FS 609 are simply score of 10 ! It is impossible not to yield to its enormous qualities and revere the brand even more by the sheer consistency in providing the consumers with extremely honest and consistent products, from the most modest over to its top line."

ELAC FS 189 - Hi-Fi News (December 2011 issue)

"... Technically ELAC has a lotg going for it. Sensitivity is high, which is never a bad thing provided that the tonal balance and coloration level's don't suffer - which they donn't in the FS 189. It has one of the most neutral tonal balances of the group..."

"Elac's claim of 90dB sensistivity for the FS 189 accords very closely with our measured pink noise figure of 90.1dB. This - marginally the highest sensitivity of our group - is, moreover, achieved without recourse to a punishing load impedance. In fact the minimum impedance modulus of 4.3ohm - right on spec ... indicate that Elac presents the most bening load here, although it still demands an amplifier capable of driving low impedances"

"On-axis frequency response errors of ±2.2dB and ±1.8dB, 200Hz-20kHz are confortably the lowest in the group, as is the excellent pair matching figure of ±0.7dB over the same frequency range. The cumulative spectral decay waterfall is first class too..."

ELAC 330 CE - Hi-fi + (UK)

"...the music appears completely detached from the cabinet. It spreads across the room and hangs in space."

"Integration with that tweeter is one of the speaker's real strenghts."

"...they are capable of very interesting tonal resolution and they couple this with a musical top to bottom togheterness that is a constant surprise."

ELAC FS 187 - AUDIO (October 2011 issue)

"Juicy, plastic, slightly warmed, softened and smooth, clean and subtle"

"The colour of the FS 187 columns seems to be both warm and clean, smooth texture, devoid of naturalistic roughness. Midrange leads... round and soft, persuasive liquidity and "lyricism" - female vocals come out really beautiful, and are not lifted and brightened"

ELAC FS 247 Sapphire Edition - Hi-Fi News (July 2011 issue)

"The FS 247 Sapphire Edition combines the sweetnes and ultra-wide imaging of Elac's proprietary JET tweeter with pace and neutrality across the rest of the spectrum. Impressive from the outset it is about as music-genre agnostic as loudspeakers get and very easy to live with. The somptuous good looks, fine attention to detail, accessories and superb finish make this sleek German speaker excellent value"

"The first thing anyone will notice when hearing ELACs for the very first time is the sound of that JET tweeter. It is breathtakingly sweet and articulate. Suddenly metal domes sound hard and 'ringy' in comparison to the JET's sophistication and detail. It sounds clean, crisp and seamlessly well balanced throughout the top end of the spectrum with wide, wide, projection. Clearly the design of the tweeter's baffle will encourage a considerable horizontal soundstage you can measure in acres with a very generous listening sweet-spot"

ELAC FS 67.2 - WHAT HI-FI? (May 2011 issue)

"Air and transparent sound; rhythm; clear bass, expressive vocals, great focus, scope and organization of space"

"Excellent speakers can lead vocals, even such a demanding, like Anna Netrebko on CD Sempre Libera."

"Beautiful focus and the formation of musical space - another distinctive feature of the loudspeaker, which in the aggregate in the tonal balance allows them to confidently carry out even the symphonies of Tchaikovsky."

ELAC FS 67.2 - WHAT HI-FI (Russia) review

BS 62.2: ultracompacta Seriei 60.2 - 160(L) x260(H) x252(D) mm

ELAC FS 67.2 - AVmagazin (April 2011 issue)

"The FS 67.2 - an attractive design, impeccable workmanship - including its gloss lacquer surfaces - and useful features.

The FS 67.2 provides, despite its low price, a loudspeaker with consistently high-quality technology, making the corresponding sound: Elac FS 67.2 can satisfy also the demanding music listeners. Interested parties need not consider the balance between the priorities of optics and acoustics, because the FS 67.2 excellently meets both needs."

ELAC BS 53.2 - Stereo & Video (March 2011 issue)

"The sound of this inexpensive bookshelf speaker was well balanced and clear in the whole band. The tweeter is just fine sewn to the midbass driver..."

"Very good job of the designers in the configuration of this model. The frequency response and THD measurements show very, very good results. The frequency response has a small unbalance and is close to zero. This means a smooth output at all frequencies, in the operating range..."

ELAC BS 53.2 - Stereo & Video (Russia) review

ELAC BS 63.2 - HiFi Test (April 2011 issue)
"Sonically and visually convince us the Elac BS 63.2, so that we can recommend to all those who are looking for a nice speaker with compact size for home listening."

ELAC FS 68.2 - PC Welt (April 2011 issue)

Elac FS 68.2 won a first place in the German PC Welt magazine:

1. ELAC FS 68.2

2. Canton GLE 470.2

ELAC 310.2 JET- Audiophilia (September 2009 issue)
" — I like German engineering. The Teutonic beauties I had in house for a short audition did not disappoint. "

ELAC FS 58.2 - Stereoplay (February 2011 issue)

ELAC BS 184 - WHAT HI-FI? (January 2011 issue)

"Universal artists, endowed with musical sensitivity. For a fairly modest price, you get advantages of more expensive speakers."

"... Put a live album by Patricia Kaas, and you will see that they are spiritually rich and transmit voice, even in this flawed record - except that sibilants could be a little quieter. On the other hand, it is the sharpness of execution coupled with the ability to penetrate the emotional essence of the songs that makes BS184 truly universal! satellite music lover."

ELAC BS 184 - WHAT HI-FI (Russia) review

ELAC FS 67.2 - HiFi Test (January 2011 issue)
"I like the revised Elac FS 67.2 not only for the looks: especially in sound the slender tower speaker have much to offer. Whoever hears will not believe that these excellent speakers can be called for only 700 €. Sound tip - and to listen to the dealer"

ELAC FS 67.2 - i-fidelity (January 2011 issue)
"ELAC is building with the small tower speaker line FS 67.2 60.2 one for its price range perfectly crafted design speaker, the fine glossy coat front with the contrasts of the silvery chassis reflects sound too. Fine lines and amazing dynamics characterize the crystal-clear, but never on the field tending sound. Respect and Price Tips'are the deservedreward."

ELAC BS 243 - HI-FI World - Best Stand Mount Speaker (January 2011 issue)
"ELAC's use of their JET ribbon tweeter is the hi-fi equivalent of a turbo charger; it magically wipes away so many of the pitfalls of small speakers by using a superb treble transducer that wouldn't disgrace a speaker at several times the price."
"...Hooked up to a beefy transistor amplifier (if it's valves you're running they've got to be particularly punchy) and a decent front end, the Elacs really take your breath away. They're far more sophisticated than is expected at the price, with none of the squawking, screeching and boofing of many sub- £ 1,000 standmounters."
"The BS 243's inherently transparent nature, allied to realistic three dimensional imaging, rhythmic alacrity and extended, delicate and sparkling treble make them an essential audition for those looking for grown-up transducers that take up a small space."

ELAC FS 68.2 - AUDIO (January 2011 issue)
"Plus: Very honest, balanced, high-resolution box with super dynamic and precise articulation. Minus: Too honest for difficult shots :) "

O incinta audiofila ultracompacta care impresioneaza in varianta de baza, acum intr-o prezentare absolut seducatoare: 310 Indies Black.

ELAC BS 243 - HI-FI World (October 2010 issue)
"... frequency response analysis shows they are almost ruler-flat, meaning, they will provide great tonal accuracy and balance, but also low colouration..."
"The ribbon treble unit Elac use is a good example of this, measuring far flatter than dome units, and this gives the BS 243 an unusually even treble characteristic above 4kHz that will almost certainly translate into smooth, clean treble, of exemplary ribbon quality."
"As for the bass? That, if anything, was the surprise package. It was pacey and effective but without strain or boom. "

ELAC BS 184 - AUDIO (September 2010 issue)

"Incredibly, the power and vitality sprayed by Elac BS 184..."
"...on the Elac, one could not escape the impression of a freshly cleaned window pane."
"Balanced-clear, very dynamic and enormously alive playing loudspeaker."
"Well-balanced with a slightly decreasing, but extensive bass... THD continuously at a low level in bass, amazing reserves."

ELAC Spirit of Music CE - Stereo (March 2010 issue)

"This speaker has no weaknesses and has grown all walks of life. It tops its all-round skills with audiophile virtues such as spaciousness, fragrant resolution and precision to the lowest layers. Not cheap but worth every penny."

ELAC FS 249 - Hifimaailma (June 2009 issue)

ELAC FS 249 assured the Hifimaailma listening jury, winning a EUR 5000 floorstanding speakers comparison test.
"Sound has a nice purity and unity, above average ... and is a universally appealing package for all forms of music."
"The speaker sound is a natural presence ... without intruding; it was a vibrant and inspiring to listen acquaintance."

ELAC FS 249 - LYD & BILDE (October 2009 issue)
"The sound is characterized by an unusually high correlation in the upper frequency range, with an almost perfect transition between the tweeter and midrange. Put another way, it is difficult to hear that you listen to the speakers and not the real thing ... "
"All vowels are simply masterful rendered and Elac sounds clearly better singer than the Audiovector. Katie Melua lovely voice clearly drawn up in front of us "
"... a speaker that sounds very well balanced and comfortable, no matter what type of music you challenge them with. It is especially in the top of the frequency range that great impresses FS 249, but bass response is also very deep and precise. ."
