Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: Great for nearfield listening. - Whilst I have a nice set of floor standers in the lounge, I actually do most of my music listening in my study, so have put some time into improving the audio experience. I have an old AV Receiver running 4.1 surround on my PC, and I enjoy listening to music and playing games. And have a dedicated sound card. Previously I was running some rather old Tannoy 603 bookshelf speakers, which certainly sounded ok. My dilemma was, would more modern day budget speakers improve on older-day budget speakers? Before buying anything, I popped in some old 3-way Sony Hi-Fi speakers, which on the face of it should have been better, they weren't. I also tried some Wharfdale 9.0 speakers, which whilst nice and small, couldn't reproduce bass very well at all. I finally plumped for the Elac Debut 5.2 for Β£175 on desertcart, notably cheaper than anywhere else at the time. Broadly speaking, the frequency response seems the same as the Tannoys, but I'm pleased to report that the quality and detail of the sound is much improved. The Elac's are reasonably deep in construction at 25cm which is a bit tight on my desk, but slimmer than most the alternatives at this price point. They aren't the lookers either, with a single bass port on the front. And if you happen to glance down the tube you'll see the white foam stuffed in the speaker, black would have looked better, or even something to hide the view. As my speaker placement is close to walls, I was on the look out for a front-firing bass port. The tweeter grill can be removed with a paper clip which improves the look, but leaves the tweeter vulnerable from knocks. In terms of sound, the bass is warm and present, but these are still relatively small units. They knock the spots off something smaller like the Warfedale 9.0, but need reinforcing with a separate sub. I haven't taken any measurements yet, but I feel they lack punch under about 85Hz, but will still produce bass below this. The mids are clear and I can hear a lot more detail in music than previously, but they're also not massively pronounced, it's enjoyable to listen to. Highs seem clear and crisp. The sound seems quite engulfing, and I feel much more part of the music than I did before. So whilst these can't compete with something bigger and more expensive, for the money, they're absolutely superb, and I've never had such good sound at my desk before. Review: Fantastic bookshelf speakers. - Well this is a superb pair of bookshelf speakers. I am no newbie to the world of proper hifi. Over the years I have had speakers from the likes of wharfedale, Boston, linn, b and w, pmc, ruark, Polk to name but a few and these are right up there with some of the best offerings (within price limitations). I actually purchased these to replace an ageing pair of Linn Kans and knew that technology has moved on since I purchased my Linn's but didn't expect to get a sound quality anywhere near what I have been getting with the Linn's. How wrong could I have been. I read countless reviews so I knew I was getting a reasonable speaker but I never expected them to be this good. I think they even have an edge over the Linn's and other bookshelfs ive owned. Even straight out the box they sounded very tight and open but now having run them in the last few weeks they have started to really open up and are sounding better and better. They are being fed by a Rega Brio R amplifier, and the sources are a completely pimped Rega planar 3 and a bluesound mqa DAC and I have been totally blown away by their performance. Based on the sheer analagy of sound per pound I don't think you will find better. Yes they are never going to compete with the likes of a Β£2000 floorstander but then one couldn't expect them to bit in all honesty they out up a very good fight and argument lol. Lovely crisp and not too overbright top end, a good controlled bottom end and a very pleasing and stunning vocal mid range performance. Fantastic build quality and finish. I couldn't have asked for more. My only minor criticism if asked would be the 1980s style grilles but hey I don't use them so I'm not really bothered but they just make the speakers look a tad dated. Not such a bad thing I guess but the rest of the speaker is distinctively modern. Well done Elac. Fantastic set of very pleasing speakers. ## Features - Model type: 2-way, bass reflex - Music power: 120 W - Frequency range (IEC 268-5) 46 - 35000 Hz - Crossover frequency: 2200 Hz - Nominal impedance: 6 Ξ© ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DNCKG7F | | Antenna Location | FΓΌr Surround-Sound-Systeme | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Best Sellers Rank | 112,029 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 290 in Bookshelf Hi-Fi Speakers | | Box Contents | 1 pair of shelf speakers, instruction manual (English language not guaranteed) | | Brand Name | ELAC | | Colour | Black decoration. | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Smartphone, Laptop, Tablet, Television, Projector | | Connectivity Protocol | RCA, Auxiliary | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | Touch | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (341) | | Enclosure Material | MDF | | Frequency Response | 35000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04011822891468 | | Impedance | 6 Ohms | | Is Electric | Yes | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 18D x 34.1W x 23.4H centimetres | | Item Weight | 5.7 Kilograms | | MP3 player | No | | Manufacturer | Elac Electroacustic GmbH | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 120 Watts | | Model Name | DEBUT B5.2 | | Model Number | DEBUT B5.2 | | Mounting Type | Shelf Mount | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired, RCA or Auxiliary | | Number Of Circuits | 2 | | Number of Audio Channels | 5.2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Features | Lightweight | | Series Number | 293 | | Speaker Size | 341 Centimetres | | Speaker Type | Woofer | | Specific Uses For Product | Home cinema systems, audio systems with surround sound | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Tweeter Diameter | 1 Inches | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology Type | No Wireless Communication Technology | | Woofer Driver Diameter | 13.41 Centimetres | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** ELAC - **Connectivity technology:** Wired, RCA or Auxiliary - **Frequency response:** 35000 Hz - **Material:** MDF - **Model name:** DEBUT B5.2 - **Mounting type:** Shelf Mount - **Speaker maximum output power:** 120 Watts - **Speaker type:** Woofer - **Special feature:** Lightweight ## Images ![Debut B5.2 Shelf Speaker, Black Decoration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HbYwMD6fL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for nearfield listening. *by D***H on 6 March 2022* Whilst I have a nice set of floor standers in the lounge, I actually do most of my music listening in my study, so have put some time into improving the audio experience.

Fantastic set of very pleasing speakers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Stunning Speakers at a Bargain Price *by M***S on 26 February 2022* I was torn between choosing these Debuts or the new Wharfdale 12.1s. But ultimately I was put off by the 12.1s rear porting so less flexibility with near wall placement. They arrived yesterday to replace my much smaller Wharfdale Diamond 9.0. Right off the bat the difference was enormous. More bass, extended highs and much crisper across the full bandwidth. I was hearing things I never noticed before, even on TV audio you can hear much more detail in people's voices, the lip smacks and saliva crackles that were mute before. I was worried the 5.2 wouldn't have enough bass compared to the 6.2 but those worries were soon dispelled. These go plently low for my needs and I wanted to retain as much detail in the mids with 5.25' main cones. These are also a better match for the ELAC DEBUT C5.2 Centre Speaker when I upgrade my surround sound. I am driving with an aging Arcam 10 DAVE that also previously drove a pair of Mission 774 floorstanders and these Debuts surpass the sound I remember from the Missions. I've never heard my system sounding this good. Highly recommend at this price point. Unbeatable value especially with the current deal on Amazon. They were shipped from Germany in 4 days with free delivey. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elac Debut B5.2 Shelf Speaker, Black Decoration - Amazon Basics 2 RCA Audio Cable for Amplifier,Active Speakers or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 1.22 m, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/91495518-debut-b5-2-shelf-speaker-black-decoration](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/91495518-debut-b5-2-shelf-speaker-black-decoration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
