$279.99? "For the price"? Are you kidding me?? Screw everybody!
These almost-free little boxes were sounding like the first loudspeakers to break the $1 million price point. Maybe I'd forgotten to take my meds? I needed to calm down and play "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" one more time—just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
Who cares what they cost? Forget about recommending them to only your non-audiophile friends. Elac Americas' new Debut B6 loudspeaker is an extremely competent audiophile design that is more musical and concise than any other speaker I've heard that costs less than $1000/pair. The B6's sound was noticeably colored, but when powered by an excellent amplifier (it seems to like tubes), the effects of those colorations were minimized. Then it played all types of music with enough composure and vita navitas to let Andrew Jones's most clever new creation run with the big dogs in the up-to-$2000/pair field.
Highly recommended to all my friends.
