## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Solution
*by B***E on March 17, 2025*

Worth every penny. They worked right out the box. I’m able to listen albums after more than 40 years without the need of a separate amplifier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Power, Good Look, Good Fit.
*by A***R on April 19, 2025*

Good Power, Good Look, Good Fit. Beware the firmware update! At some point, it just stopped working, but the fix was a simple firmware update.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong sound from small powered speakers
*by V***R on January 30, 2023*

The basics first: this pair of ELAC powered bookshelf speakers sounds terrific. Obviously the compromises of their very small form factor are still present — the level of bass they provide is not going to fool anyone into thinking you have a massive subwoofer, but the sound is very well-rounded, full, and uncompromised considering the speakers' small size. They're able to fill a decent-sized room and all kinds of music sounds lovely, comparable to a decent stereo system, coming through their small grilles. I test-listened to everything from classical piano sonatas to guitar-driven rock to hip-hop and found myself enjoying it all through the ELACs more than I expected. I would totally recommend them for use in a kitchen or bedroom, or with a computer or TV.The quibbles: They're still far more expensive than they should be, compared to some of the competition, and have a slightly odd array of inputs. There's no user manual at all included, so it's a good thing operation is mostly self-explanatory; there's an HDMI cable in the box but no USB cable, somewhat annoyingly, and you'll need to find one with the big old-fashioned "B" connector that was mostly used for printers (it'd be far nicer for a brand-new device like this to come with USB-C). The remote is required for changing sources, annoyingly; the volume knob/button on the back of the powered speaker doesn't reliably do it. There's also no AirPlay 2 streaming support, a really annoying omission that would've done more to justify the premium price. The "walnut" finish is extremely fake-looking, a plastic veneer that appears even less like real wood than the cheapest Ikea furniture. The speakers come with stick-on rubber feet that you must apply yourself, another very cheap-seeming feature in a premium-priced product.With similarly high-quality competitors like Audioengine A2s priced at less than half what these ELACs cost, I can't really see buying them as a first choice; their main feature that other powered speakers don't have is the HDMI ARC connection, which is easily available on any good "sound bar" system if TV/home theater use is the target. Still, there's nothing wrong with them; they sound good.
