Build Quality, Sound, and Looks Converge in the ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 Bookshelf Loudspeaker: Andrew Jones Design Features New Waveguide, Woofer, Bracing, and More The ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 bookshelf speaker has no small aims. It sets out to provide audio fidelity (and stylish looks) that will change the way you think about hearing music in your home, all for a cost often associated with mass-market models anonymously assembled with cheap off-the-shelf parts. The lofty goals owe to Debut Reference DBR62's inspired pedigree, with its genesis originating with ELAC's original Debut Series. Engineer Andrew Jones was thrilled with the groundbreaking line. And rightly so. After all, he designed it from top to bottom, and it redefined affordable high-end performance for thousands of listeners. Yet Jones always lamented the aesthetics got shortchanged. No more. With Debut Reference Series, Jones and company strike an enviable balance between outstanding build, sonics, and looks. But appearances aren't the only upgrade. Internally and externally, Debut Reference DBR62 goes all out to separate itself from its crowded class. A new waveguide and open-grill design improve high-frequency response. A dual flared slot port increases bass output and dynamics. A new, 6.5-inch cast chassis woofer – loaded with oversized ceramic magnets for powerful bass; aramid fiber cones for control; a woven fiber spider for excellent linearity and stability; low carbon-steel top and bottom plates for high magnetic conductivity; and a butyl rubber surround for inherent damping – minimizes resonances and supplies robust, full, dynamic extension. New, full-perimeter bracing joins the top and side panels all the while lessening cabinet colorations. Jones' one-inch cloth dome tweeter sings. In sum, quite a debut by any name, Reference or otherwise. Boasting 86db sensitivity and a 44Hz-3

  These speakers continue to impress me. These are the first bookshelf speakers that I can honestly don't need a sub for music use. I do have a nice SVS SB2000 Pro but I'm finding that compared to all my other bookshelf speakers, I'm turning it way down with these. With my rp600m's I'd use around -14db on the sub, with these Elac Reference I'm using -24db

A New Standard in HiFi

Went to a local electronics store, went through some blu rays, didn't find anything nice, thought i go by the audio equiment, some nice av-receivers, some bluetooth speaker - and then...several speakers for a lot less that normal

Freaking steal - pair of Elac DBR62 for 170€ - Showroom Condition

 What you'll get with the DBR62 is a very flat and neutral overall sound with seriously impressive bass extension for their size, a wonderful midrange (that is missing from many other speakers that prefer to showcase how high and low they can go while leaving you with a U shaped frequency response), and not to mention sweet delicate highs. The DBR62s also produce a very holographic image rather than giving you a locked-in sweet spot (like my old Bronze 2 did). Listen to a showcase track like Bubbles from Yosi Horikawa and you'll understand. I also auditioned the Elac Uni-Fi UB5 and preferred the DBR62 due to an overall more neutral response

 After reading and watching a bunch of reviews YouTube I stumbled on Elac and Andrew Jones, a pair that hadn't been on my radar before. It quickly became apparent that Elac gave one of the best speaker designers "free reign" to make giant killers and that's just what he did with the DBR62. What you'll get with the DBR62 is a very flat and neutral overall sound with seriously impressive bass extension for their size, a wonderful midrange (that is missing from many other speakers that prefer to showcase how high and low they can go while leaving you with a U shaped frequency response), and not to mention sweet delicate highs. The DBR62s also produce a very holographic image rather than giving you a locked-in sweet spot (like my old Bronze 2 did)

 I'm totally OK with that, though, because these speakers will sound better than anything costing double the price; they'll impress you and your audiophile friends.

Astonishing Speakers!

Built to bring the big surround sound theater and music experience into the comfort of your living room, the Polk Signature S15 compact bookshelf speaker continues in the Polk tradition of American HiFi. Featuring Hi-Res certification, a new Dynamic Balance designed acoustic array, precision cross-overs, an anti-diffraction grille, modern cabinet styling and exclusive Power Port bass enhancing technology, you get elevated sound for movies, TV and music in a totally re-imagined design. Works with the most modestly-powered amplifier or receiver to give you a sound reproduction that’s spacious, clear, enveloping, and realistic. Plus, it’s compatible with latest Dolby and DTS surround sound technologies.

 Now, the power port is something Polk Audio has been doing for decades now, and essentially, it's designed to elongate the port, reduce chuffing, which is a major problem with budget speakers, which basically allows you to turn the volume up without hearing this weird port noise. And also, as Polk Audio advertises in their literature, it's supposed to allow you to get more bass extension from the cabinet. So overall, it's a very simple design. If you want more specifications, just click on the description box down below, and I have that information for you

 In fact, this is an evolution above the tri-laminate material, which they've used forever. On the bottom here, we have a five and a quarter inch woofer made of polypropylene mixed with some other materials. We have magnetic grills, and we also have this step baffle, which is basically designed to reduce diffraction and interaction between the drivers and the entirety of the front of the speaker. Now, overall, this is a very well-built speaker

 Usually they're very thin and they look very plain, and what's interesting about the Polk Audio Signature Series is, even though it's designed to compete directly with those plain looking speakers, it has a very robust, well-built look. It's something that you could put in your living room and it doesn't scream, hey, I cheaped out on my audio solution, and that transitions me over into the Signature 15 itself. So what you're looking at here is going to be a very simple two-way design. Now these speakers retail for just over 200 US dollars, and on the top here, we're going to have a one-inch soft dome tweeter made of tereline material, which is pretty new to Polk Audio

Polk Audio Signature 15 Review!  The Perfect Gateway Drug??

 You know guys, it's been years since I last reviewed a set of Polk Audio speakers,

 so today I'm going to change that by taking a look at the Signature 15s.

 Alright, so here they are, and as usual, before I talk about how they sound,

 I first want to summarize what it is that you're looking at,

 and I think the best place to begin is to reinforce what Polk Audio's goal is,

 which is to provide great sound to as many people as possible.

 Now in order to do that, however, you do need to sell your product through mass market retailers,

 like in the case of those of us in the US, companies like Best Buy.

 No matter where you live though, all of us have been to a retailer like this,

 whether it's to look at a TV, a laptop, a camera, whatever.

 Now if you go to the audio section, provided it still exists in your store,

 then what you're going to be faced with are a bunch of options that look mass market.

 it just means that the manufacturers had to cheap out on the cabinets.

 Usually they're very thin and they look very plain,

 and what's interesting about the Polk Audio Signature Series is,

 even though it's designed to compete directly with those plain looking speakers,

 It's something that you could put in your living room and it doesn't scream,

 hey, I cheaped out on my audio solution,

 and that transitions me over into the Signature 15 itself.

 So what you're looking at here is going to be a very simple two-way design.

 Now these speakers retail for just over 200 US dollars,

 and on the top here, we're going to have a one-inch soft dome tweeter

 made of tereline material, which is pretty new to Polk Audio.

 In fact, this is an evolution above the tri-laminate material,

 On the bottom here, we have a five and a quarter inch woofer

 made of polypropylene mixed with some other materials.

 We have magnetic grills, and we also have this step baffle,

 which is basically designed to reduce diffraction

 and interaction between the drivers and the entirety of the front of the speaker.

 Now, overall, this is a very well-built speaker.

 Actually, you know what's interesting about this

 is the veneer will take on a light gray, almost blue tone in natural sunlight,

 and it's just really beautiful to look at and very elegant.

 Now, on the back here, we have a regular binding post,

 and this is going to be the thing, though,

 that's going to attract the most attention, which is the power port.

 Now, the power port is something Polk Audio has been doing for decades now,

 and essentially, it's designed to elongate the port,

 reduce chuffing, which is a major problem with budget speakers,

 which basically allows you to turn the volume up
