Looks like one hell of a bargain for a second system or someone on a tight budget

I agree. It's amazing what performance you can buy on the cheep now. It makes you second guess yourself if your looking at 3K plus speakers, some that might not offer much more performance.

But Tom Brady would not buy them so I won't. I often ask myself " What would Tom do?" Then I follow. He would buy the most expensive because he can |

I heard the B5's at an audio show and was floored. Andrew Jones, designer, was running the demonstrations so we all heard in-depth history and approach to the new speaker line. In fact, I was so impressed that I pre-ordered a pair of the B6 and am awaiting delivery.
Jones is said to be creating new middle and ultra high end speakers for ELAC as well, all in the Los Angeles design center.

B5: bookshelf with 5" woofer
B6: bookshelf with 6" woofer
Plus a tower, center, atmos and a line of subs with ingenious calibration approach.

I'm a week into listening to the F6 Debut speaker (I heard the B5 at an audio show) and I'm not so confident they are for me. They are great speakers with a huge presence and deep stage but the tweeters seem really rolled off and I'm overly sensitive to over emphasized high frequencies. Part of the issue is the NAD amp I'm driving them with as it is gentle in all aspects but I swapped in a Wyred 4 Sound amp there's still something missing when compared to say a KEF R300 or Kef LS50.
I can return them to MusicDirect but I always feel GUILTY when I return audio gear.
Not sure what to do.

Notice I didn't say "like", you need to be thrilled! Happy! Satisfied with your purchase now, because later will be sad for you,,,,,,,,its called later because it will be too late to return them. Youve given them a fair audition, if not do so, also give them a fair analysts of your thoughts about them. Others may find what you dont care for is what they are looking for. Do yourself and others that favor. Be honest with yourself and the seller will understand, thats one of the reasons they offer the return policy. I have returned more then my share to Emotiva because something wasnt exactly what I wanted, have you found a bigger Kool-aid drinking fan of Emo then me? Ive spent my share of coin and am still thrilled with every purchase Ive made, not just happy! Can any company be everything to everyone?,,,,No, but the products in my system are there because Im a cheap SOB that wants the best at the best price for what I can afford. My speakers and Monoblocks are way above my pricepoint comfy zone so I made huge sacrifices to inable myself, for once in my life, to have the best,,,,,,in my humble opinion. Get what makes you thrilled! For once,,,,or twice in my life,,I did! I should thank God more often for the blessings I enjoy! sorry for the long rant my friends, |
