Elac - Debut IC-D61-W Custom In-Ceiling Speaker (Ea)

Unbelievable sound quality with surround sound system. I have 4 of them mounted in my ceiling for rear surround and back surround.

I can only compare this to the larger diameter speakers made from polk and klipsch that I demo’d. The polk and klipsch ceiling speakers sounded less than bookshelf speakers, they stood out from my soundstage and just sounded awful! After installing these ELAC ceiling speakers I was surprised and impressed that ceiling speakers could sound this good! How did ELAC do it? The speakers themselves are smaller than polk and klipsch but register at 60hz crossover during my Audessy calibration, the polk and klipsch ceiling speakers registered 120hz during audessy calibration. I don’t know how but ELAC ceiling speakers are better than a majority of great sounding bookshelf speakers and have a highly detailed and neutral sound image that blows my mind. My best guess for the superior sound is how well it is insulated! The polk and Klipsch speakers had zero insulation, these speakers are larger in size and heavier, with smaller size speakers but sound amazing! Plus these have 5 way binding posts! I can’t stop saying how amazing these speakers sound!! Thank you!!
