I would like to thank you for making this video. I pulled the trigger and bought the B5.2s. They were on sale for €200 at amazon. I have a Yamaha amp (rxv479) and I was a bit sceptical. I was worried that the Elacs wouldn't be neutral enough and they couldn't cover my 30 sq.m. living room. Oh boy I was wrong. I placed them on the floor with rubber pads, and this is the best experience I've had in years. I use them in direct mode for Spotify, and 2ch stereo mode for movies. I'm the happiest kid for this month. Thanks again Randy for all the help.

Funny enough the Sony SS-CS 5 is completely unobtainium (no stock anywhere) and listed for 180-200$ in Germany/Europe right now but the Elac is way under 200 and readily available. I think I made my pick here. Great content Mr. Cheapaudioman!

@christophstuwe4330 8 месяцев назад

Elac is a company from Kiel so naturally they should be one of the best options in Germany. How happy are u with the B5.2?

@jonasduell9953 8 месяцев назад

The speakers are great, a steal in my opinion. I am still looking for the Sony ones for a good comparison just between the two but I don't regret my decision. I ran the B5.2 on a buddy's full tube setup as well and they just sounded silky and great. A bit weak on the low end but my neighbors definitely appreciate it I guess :) The audio get's a bit weird (high frequency heavy) if you go for extremely scooped stuff like EDM/Techno/DnB since the speaker loves mid/high range but if I ever feel like listening to stuff like that I might just get a small sub. My old NAD C352 probably doesn't really do justice to the already "old" 2015 dual AK4490 DAC either but I don't even consider myself audiophile, I just love to hear good music properly and detailed :)

Hi. Do you think that these speakers require lots of power to drive them, that is 50 w/c RMS and up? Also, are these speakers fussy about the quality of the input amplifier that feeds the sound? In other words, a lower-levelamplifier would NOT yield a good sound with these "diva" speakers ( as one YT reviewer called them)? Thanks.

Livelier than the 6.2's doesn't sound like a speaker for me. I'm trying to break them in as we type as I feel like these have less bass than the 5.2's I just reviewed. Do they need a lot of break in?
