The ELAC speakers had no problem with this, the kick drums and slamming guitars did not hinder the highs at all and yielded a complete, undisturbed musical experience. After that, I set about the task of throwing music at the speakers with no particular pattern in mind, listening for any issues that I could perceive. Remarkably, I was able to make out some structure in Taake’s “Manndaudsvinter” demo, which normally sounds like one long, insurmountable fuzzed-out power chord through earbuds. Overall, these speakers made a fine replacement for the enfeebled and rapidly deteriorating ones that I used before. The SUB3010 Subwoofer is a modestly sized 14” cube containing a front-firing, 10”, doped paper, long-throw driver. This works in tandem with a down-firing 10” passive radiator to help get to the lowest frequencies and maximize output.
A 2.0 setup for music makes sense, but are you sure that's the configuration you want for movies as well? No center channel and no subwoofer will impact the viewing experience. My plan is to now buy pair of bookshelf speakers that I will eventually replace with floor speakers, and move the bookshelf's to rear speakers. What ever speakers I choose now, I will be getting the rest of the speakers from the same model series for atleast to 5.0. Sub and extra two I may be getting from different series if needed. SVS is fine if you like shopping at Best Buy 😁There are way better speakers for that price like PSA.
ELAC Debut 2.0 Home Theater Speaker System Review
The subwoofer is small, yet potent, and comes with an updated auto-calibration app. The speakers will be used for movies for about 90% of usage. Ditch the single seat, center the couch, and place the surrounds properly for 5.2.4. Because life waits for no one, at LG USA we create consumer electronics, appliances and mobile devices that are designed to help you connect with those who matter most.
I've been asking around various places and people trying to make an informed decision. Here's a little bit of information that might be useful. Right from the opening of “Space Intro” the circular panning synthesizer effect is completely encompassing and seamlessly transitions from rear to the side to front and across.

Carlo subsequently spent a lot of time in his room…As he grew older, he would spend countless hours in downtown Toronto stereo shops, listening to all manner of gear and picking the brains of the various store owners. Through that formative experience, Carlo developed and appreciation for good music, and for good sound reproduction. The question of what makes one piece of equipment sound better than another is something that he’s always found fascinating. Also, as a budding graphic artist, the aesthetic aspects of a given piece of gear became increasingly of interest to his eyes. It was at about that time as well that Carlo began purchasing “Audio Magazine” on a regular basis and came to appreciate, in particular, the writing and reviewing of the late Leonard Feldman.
So its a mystery how we are suppose to name the file for this to work as I've tried several ways and none work so far. Keeps giving me that it can't match it to a movie or show and when I try game of thrones season 2 some dang imax poster comes up which is wrong and there's no other listing that's even close. Top or side mounted binding posts for on-wall surrounds for added ease of installation. Impressive overall sound quality that belies their price points. Being the age that I am, it goes without saying that I am more than a little familiar with this album having owned it on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD. Even though this 5.1 Surround mix is only 16-bit/48 kHz resolution, that’s more than sufficient for this material and it’s a hell of a lot of fun to listen to.

The only way to truly find out which one you’ll like the best is to go and audition them. A full-blown 5.1 receiver is not required but it is nice to have. Hooking up all your inputs to the receiver and only having one HDMI cable to the TV is one plus.
Please refer to the above video to see how the subwoofer’s app-based auto calibration routine works. In my standard HT setup, I also have four GoldenEar SuperSat 3 speakers mounted high and aimed at the listening area for use as Dolby ATMOS height speakers. The speakers were all controlled and powered by an Anthem MRX 1120 HT receiver with an OPPO BDP-103 Universal Player as the source. All the speakers were acoustically dialed in using Anthem’s ARC room correction system and were crossed over to the subs at 80 Hz. This setup left the two ELAC bookshelf speakers without a job until my son’s bedroom stereo speakers decided to give up the ghost.

This chart shows the horizontal on-axis frequency response of the ELAC B5.2 speakers directly compared to its 15, 30 and 45-degree off-axis measurements. Overall, it seems an even tighter grouping than that of the related F6.2 plots. The 0-degree and 15-degree plots track each other fairly closely between 300Hz to 15 kHz. The 30 and 45-degree plots stay close to the first two until about 3.5 kHz where they begin to show the expected amount of decline.
Coming around full circle, Jones and Walker have seen fit to revisit and update their initial success with the recent launch of Debut 2.0. Although similar in appearance to the originals, Andrew Jones has redesigned everything about the updated line. Debut 2.0 incorporates new drivers, new crossovers, re-engineered cabinets, a new on-wall, and extra center channel speaker options to effectively broaden the installation possibilities. I ended up listening to the speakers in a couple of different stereo configurations and as a full home theater system.
SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity was launched in 1994 as the first major publication offering serious audio/video journalism on the Internet. Ability to visually recall the calibration curve in use on the Sub Control 2.0 app. Subwoofer Auto-EQ works well and App suite provides an innovative range of control. So far, Solo and Rogue One have been the only two enjoyable bright spots in a depressing array of Star Wars prequels and sequels.
On an individual basis, I think it would be fair to say it was the little OW4.2 on wall speakers’ performance that surprised me the most. Their low-profile design and the smaller mid-woofer driver did not have me expecting very much initially. But ARC found them to have a low-enough reach to set an 80 Hz crossover automatically and my ears found them to be able to throw a massive and convincing rear sound field. For movies, rear effects sounded big and bold when they needed to, yet there was plenty of detail to render the subtleties of things like raindrops, birds chirping and distant sound cues effectively. The little OW4.2s were more than able to keep up with the larger front 3 speakers in painting a complete and enveloping sonic picture. Best of all, not only were sounds panning from back to front seamless in image and timbre, but pans that moved from side to back to other side were completely convincing.
