Take my wallet. In all seriousness, I've both the original UF5's and UB52's and am quite pleased with their abilities to produce exceptional imaging without annoying, fatiguing top end. The detail is not these speakers' greatest trait, rather they're exceptionally clean and clear without ever sounding harsh or unnatural. The bass is remarkably tight and natural sounding. Well done, bud. I know you've moved on, but thanks for your thoughtful, quality contributions for the working class.

Rather late but I have this to share: loved the soundstage & imaging. After break in, I almost did not need my Rel T7x as the unifi's shocked the ... out of me with its low end...and it seems to continue extending.

It's sad when a company trades on its name. It's a tribute to the turntables they used to produce that they are able to. This one looks like it was made by the same OEM that lower end TEACs and Angels Horn uses. Hint to all, for about the price of this turntable, you can get a real (read original) Elac Miracord 50H used, and have twice the turntable in a real wood plinth.

Bought a pair of Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52 three days ago, still in early break-in stage. My Willsenton R8 tube amp has separate binding posts for 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers. Just wonder which one would be the better connection for this 6 ohm rated Elac. Would Mr Jones or other veterans please enlighten me ?

@davlippo73 жыл бұрын
Impedance question. It seems counterintuitive that higher ohms are easier to power. So if I take (2) 4 or 6 ohm speakers and wire them in series to each channel they become 8 or 12 ohms respectively. Then that should make them easier to drive and yet there are more drivers to power which seems counterintuitive except that hooking them parallel give the opposite effect of 2 or 3 ohms. Is this correct or not correct? Seems that if I want to use more speakers without any adverse effects I could use the series method.
@davlippo73 жыл бұрын
Also strange on pricing is that the center channel unit is far more impressive at $299 than are the pair for $599. Makes 100% more sense to buy 2 of the centers and use those as the mains and don't buy the pairs at all. Is the center voiced differently that this is not a good idea?
@davlippo73 жыл бұрын
One "oversight" on the center channel option? That center channel speaker looks awesome. I don't have one but was looking to buy one. I read some reviews and then it dawned on me. The center channel is more for clarity and not for bass. Why doesn't the center channel have a dual concentric 4" midrange (like where the woofers are) and only a single bass driver instead of exactly the opposite? Seems like that was an oversight in that design but perhaps a single mid-high is enough. Some reviewer said it was too bass present with the dual woofers. Maybe I will connect in series a book shelf pair for the center channel instead of the center unit option.

I just bought my 2nd pair BUT I did not pay full price using Amazon warehouse deals. I have a 9.1 setup using these near perfect speakers. I have a Klipsch sub, JBL 570s, JBL stage center channel, Emotive E2+ surrounds and 2 pairs of Elac 2.0 in the mix. I actually bought 4 pairs since they are giving them away.

I think these companies are in such a rush to make promotions for the products that as soon as they come off the line in China it's on a photo shoot down the street at some new pre fab devolvement. This video really detracts from all the good things that are being said about these speakers. one of my friends made speakers for a living professionaly and he told me if you buy new a pair get ELAC. They do make good speakers.

I noticed that too. I also noticed the speaker that was not centered on the stand @0.38. It bugs me that speaker stands are built with tiny top plates that don't come close to the size of most "bookshelf" speakers. Placing the speakers in a large unfurnished space also detracted from this presentation. Randy just reviewed the bookshelf version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcqce8Sc2M2dpI0.html
