These are more cerebral performers that are more concerned with dotting the ‘i’s than having a party.īut if the DBR62’s talents align with your tastes, we doubt you’ll find better for the money. If you’re looking for speakers to thrill you with thumping crescendos or make you want to dance, these Elacs aren’t for you. It’s as though the DBR62s deem such things to be of secondary importance to its finesse and information retrieval skills. Listen to something harder hitting, such as works by Jay Z or Nirvana, and you’ll find that rhythmic drive and dynamic punch are subdued. Talented though these speakers are, they aren’t fully rounded. The lows are nicely blended too, and deliver enough in the way of reach to give a good impression of solidity and weight to the presentation. The highs sound refined and insightful but still manage to pack enough in the way of bite to avoid complaint. All that work on the tweeter’s waveguide pays dividends: there's seamless integration between the drivers, and the tweeter never draws attention to itself. It’s a cohesive and tidy sound – one that has enough in the way of scale and authority to convince. They dig deep into vocals and bring out the nuances and texture as capably as speakers that cost hundreds more, while shading dynamics with an ease and elegance that’s rare at this level. We listen to a range of recordings, from Michael Kiwanuka’s '70s-tinged Home Again to the emotionally charged Found Songs from Ólafur Arnalds, and the Elacs truly shine. It’s clean, clear and impressively delicate, without sounding forward or overly etched.
