    I reviewed the floorstanders against a pair of Monitor Audio Silver and the comparison did not take as long as I thought. I really wanted the MAs for their build and look - they are lovely. The Elacs look OK if you don’t get too close. But the sound is gorgeous. They were so much richer and inviting than anything else I’ve heard at this price (MA silvers, Kef and Klipsch). They have life too - my first thought was they may be a little polite. But if I played material with some kick, like “Burn one Down” by Ben Harper, they have percussion snap without losing the timbre of the acoustic guitar or his voice. Honestly, this was more speaker than either my wife and wanted aesthetically, but we have a large listening room - say, 25 by 25 with a very high ceiling and these do the job. They are not hard to drive to good levels - I’m using a little Bluesound N330 Powernode, and it’s fine. Put them on your list.

    Jay my man, you are always on point with your reviews. I’ve listened to these and am TRULY impressed with them.
    I’m curious though…
    You were equally, if not more impressed with the SF Lumina 1’s.
    Now that the Lumina 2’s have been released and all things being relatively equal, including pricing between the Elacs and the SFs (except for impedance), any hope for a comparison between the two in the near or not so near future?
    I can see it now…
    Elac Unifi Reference vs.
    Sonus Faber Lumina II!

    Ha ha, really nice review, man! I loved how you got between the speakers and talked about where you were hearing sounds, that is gold! I've always wanted reviewers to do that more, literally show people how the speakers are presenting the music, how big the stage is and how good the imaging is. I totally recommend you keep doing that. I've been waiting for this review trying to figure out if I should upgrade to these from my Uni-Fi UB52's (modified) which I love. You are making great videos, Jay, keep it up! Oh, and unfortunately Elac was forced to increase their prices recently (last week?) by 15-20% and these bookshelves are now $1,200 USD.

    • @erics.4113
      @erics.4113 3 роки тому

      What mod did you do to your ub52? I've had mine for about a month maybe and not sure they're even broken in yet. . If that's indeed truth about these. Just wondering if there was a gr research upgrade or something else you did to em. From what I've heard, they have a fairly beefy crossover network inside of them, due to the 3 way design. Interested on what you improved

    • @sean_heisler
      @sean_heisler 3 роки тому +1

      @@erics.4113 Hey Eric. First off, regarding break in, they definitely need a lot of time. I've owned two pairs and each time I noticed it honestly takes a couple hundred hours or more for them to settle into their true character. There are a lot of components in the crossover in particular that need to break in. They become more lively, airy and detailed in time. I did perform sort of a Danny Ritchie/GR Research sort of upgrade just short of crossover upgrades. I performed cabinet damping that Danny used to recommend before he developed his No Rez product. While the stock cabinet is pretty darn solid for the price I lined the walls with 1/8" industrial floor tiles using contact cement and then applied 1" foam to all the walls. I damped the steel driver baskets with Bitumin material to reduce driver resonance. Lastly, I replaced the speaker binding posts with high-quality rhodium plated, pure copper posts by Viborg. The speaker weighs about two more pounds than stock and is rock solid now. The binding posts made the biggest difference, it was like I found a key and unlocked the UB52's. The stock binding posts are horrible and really make a negative impact on the sound. They just opened up big time, more details, more vibrant yet cleaner treble, more detailed highs, noticeably bigger soundstage. Sure, it basically voids the warranty but at $600 a pair ($480 often on Amazon) the way I see it I don't find it a big deal at these prices. I would love to do mods to the crossover but the problem is it's nearly impossible to get to it! You can't get to it through the woofer hole due to both the brace and the separate coaxial driver enclosure. I honestly think they did not intend to ever repair the crossover if something went wrong, which the chances of that are low anyhow, and they simply plan to warrant replace the entire speaker. I believe these speakers were constructed with the crossover board mounted to the rear of the enclosure while being assembled. Hope that helps, they are GREAT speakers and you can make them even better if you are willing!

    • @erics.4113
      @erics.4113 3 роки тому

      @@sean_heisler cool stuff it's interesting you mentioned damping because they are pretty solid especially compared to my hollow door rp600m. The problem with break-in is that I bought rp600m and these at about the same time so getting a lot of listening time between two sets is tough. I had the ELAC on the stands for a solid week and was starting to feel like they were improving in bass and losing some of their dry plastic feel (is what I call it) compared to the klipsch which are just out of control dynamically coloring the music.. sometimes for the good. Other times just... well.. out of control.
      Overall I could live with the ELAC every day and party with the klipsch on occassiion with the correct source material and a subwoofer. Always with a sub.
      I'm just wondering what my next speaker will be. And I feel like going up the ELAC tree is worthy to pursue.
      But I'm still new to this and maybe will pause on speakers and up my gear first and get all i can out of these two very different speakers.
      I will look into the binding post upgrades. I imagine the rp600m could use help there too considering they are bi-wirable and have a cheap plate connecting the two sets of posts. I suppose I could ditch the plates and just make my own jumper out of a short segment of some quality speaker cable and do better than stock in that regard.
      I'm not worried about warranties. I doubt I'll keep any of this stuff long enough to ever pursue repairs. By the time the speakers gods want to take one or I blow one up somehow I'll be happily perusing the hifi shop for the next one 😉
      I guess that's part of the fun of this pursuit anyhow

You are definitely right about the variances of UA-cam audio quality which is easy to discern if you've got good gear but for instance, the Dynaudio speaks that I've got on my desktop sound different (and better : ) than my friend's KEF LS50's (that I borrowed for comparison) on the SAME UA-cam material - whether good or bad.

    Great review seriously. I use tube stereo amps. No special sauce needed for my big mac, er, speakers I mean. If you use tubes, you may want a well behaved, neutral, reference kind of speaker. The tubes add realistic, clean, scary dynamics to all speakers. Soooo, if your favorite speaker is polk or klipsch, you may not like a tube amp. Pairing amp to speaker is a real thing. Elac reference speakers are awesome with tube or tube hybrid amps. How do I know this... Comments anyone? My reference sound is a live orchestra in a concert hall. No electronics, just mind blowing real sound. Elac comes close. Thanks again for this great review.

Vocals are really the best on coaxial speakers. But need some luck with these elac coaxial speakers, just my luck I had lemon tweeters 2 times: Ubr62 new and ubr52 open box. Test with test tones 400 to 600hz, you'll get the noise distortions.

    I think the Emotiva's are a bit more open and transparent. The mids are definitely better than the Elacs. While the Elacs are sweet in the high range, I prefer the ribbon tweeter of the Emotiva's.
    In the bass section in any small tower will require a sub or two, but when compared, the Emotiva easily extends further than the Elacs
    with a fuller rounder bass section.

    Recent price increase moves the Elac's toward the Kef R3 but the R3 has better aesthetics and more experience with the coaxial speaker design.

  • @howardskeivys4184
    @howardskeivys4184 3 роки тому +2

    Those speakers look pretty decent, for their price. Chances are that if I were in the market for a pair of speakers in that price bracket, I’d audition them along with the Q Acoustics 3050I and the Kef Q series, and maybe the entry level Monitor Audio amongst others.
    However, if I were hungry, Macdonolds would be my last consideration.

      So true on the speaker comparisons. Loads of excellent competitors around that price point and that keeps upping the ante to our benefit.

    I have the original and have been pretty happy with the overall sound through all genres of music.the one negative point is it's low sensitivity rating resulting in careful matching with amps. Therefore it doesn't perform great at low volumes; you need to crank it up to really appreciate what this speaker can offer. So how does the new reference unifi perform in this regard?

    • @rene318
      @rene318 3 роки тому

      Impedance is more importent for me, 6 ohms is a good load for tube amps. Just look at what sound level you listen, for me its 95 db. So i need 8 watts of power with my 300b set amp. Than i have 2 watts of headroom.

    HEY JAY'S IYAGI! :) @Jay's iyagi
    I have two questions. Please help me with my buying decision. Just to say firstly, I am an audiophile newcomer when it comes to HiFi separates.
    I was considering an all in one powered active speaker upgrade, something to replace my little Yamaha NX-N500 all in one network speakers. My bedroom is 13 feet by 13 feet.
    I have been considering the AudioPro A36, then the Dali Oberon 6C, both floorstanders and active powered wireless speakers.
    I also considered the Elac Wireless speakers and then the Buchardt A500 wireless aswell as the KEF LS50 Wireless 2. I can't decide which would be best sounding for the price.
    Then I also thought about just buying a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G because I know they will sound amazing, my brother owned some older models a long time ago I remember listening to them.
    Then I found the review on these and these Elac Uni-Fy Reference are cheaper than the Monitor Audio. So it could be quite possible to get really great sound HiFi separates for a really decent price over an active all in one powered speaker system.
    So now I am unsure what kind of decent integrated amp + pre amp + streamer I would need and it would need to include a streamer. I listen to Qobuz streaming services.
    I am told the Monitor Audio are very friendly and easy to run just like these Elac's. So my second question is could I stand these 4 - 5 feet apart in my 13 feet bedroom.
    I obviously would not be playing these very loud as my Yamaha NX-N500 monitor speakers don't go over 90db I don't think.
    My bedroom has my bed from window to the door inside wall. Door opens inwards. I have a set of draws set back in the recessed part of the wall at the front left of my 13 feet bedroom.
    The recessed part being the fire flu that runs up the middle of my house to the chimney stacks. My draws stick out slightly from the recessed part of the wall.
    I have a wall mounted shelf on the front wall higher up but in-between the set of draws and the bedroom door that open inwards to my bedroom.
    My TV is wall mounted above that. I had s set of KEF X300A that have recently died on me. They were wired up to the TV.
    However my Yamaha's have a optical link to my TV so at least I am not completely without my HiFi sound.
    So I am wondering whether to go the wireless speakers route, or whether to go separates. I would still be saving up for them for a while. So it's not an imminent decision I am needing.
    If so. I need help and some advice pairing a good cheap integrated amp with pre amp and with streamer that would pair well with either the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G or these here Elac floorstanders ?
    I won't be needing a cd player or a vinyl record player. Really sorry for such a long post. So just an amp and streamer all in one.
    But if you could help me find a good deal even an older model amp that may work well with any of these relatively recent speakers that are easy to drive.
    Something under £3000 most likely would be my budget. Leaving me only needing to find money for cables, HiFi rack and a AC powerline conditioner.
    Require a good Integrated amp with streamer to power below speakers but not to stupid high levels. Around 90db at max but usually lower.
    Elac Uni-Fi Reference (don't know wattage into ohms)
    Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G (250watts speakers go upto? but are supposedly friendly with lower wattage amps?)
