The elacs are quite good for the money. I was very impressed I setup a atmos theater used for 2 channel audio as well for a friend with the Marantz SR7010 for the pre a mcintosh 7108 amp with elac ub5s and a dual velodyne 12" powered subs. They sound quite good. I was impressed. I didn't like the B5s as much. The ub5s have better topend with the intigrated tweeter/mid-range driver. For the price it's a no brainier. I have since bought a pair for work paired up with a Peachtree Nova 150 for our commen area for my office staff. The girls crank it up all the time and it gets loud. As for speakers they are a great budget choice. I wouldn't recommend the Peachtree as there is no phono stage. But it's a great little amp none the less.
Help Me Choose (new) Bookshelf Speakers, and Integrated Amplifier for $1300 and under!
Hello Audiogon Community,
I would like to buy a pair of bookshelf speakers and an amplifier for a smallish living room, for $1300 or less.
My decision was Elac UB5 and Yamaha 701 amplifier. Is this the best decision??
Some notes... I do not need a dac! A phono stage would be nice, but I have a music hall mini. My turntable is Music Hall MMF 5.3 We listen to all music, mainly acoustic, classical and jazz. We prefer a neutral, accurate sound.
Thank you for your help and input!!!
