This is a thread for the Elac Cinema 5.2 Subwoofer, a cheap subwoofer that is part of a small cinema speaker kit, but is sold alone by Hidden Audio. I have no idea what happened to the speakers in the kit. At least @arvidb and i have them, possibly others might look for infos about them eventually.
So what are these subwoofers then?
Some official specs:

So what are these subwoofers then?
- They are small 8 inch drivers in a very lightweight bass reflex enclosure. Amplification is done with a 100W
class Dclass AB plate amp. - Overall they are as cheap as it gets, but above computer speaker subwoofers. One costs about 100 to 120€ and i, as well as @arvidb, have two.
- They use a tiny amount of standby power, so it makes sense to set them to automatic.
- Mine are supposed to go into a system with a pair of Elac DBR62, a MiniDSP 2x4HD, a Yamaha R-S700 and a RPi streamer, which later this year will be a present for a 15 year old that uses bluetooth speakers right now. Last time she drooled over my hifi stuff and played with it for hours.
- It's my understanding that @arvidb will attempt to get a better bass response in his room, possibly fixing the existing bass nulls. He will pair them with some Kali LP6v2.
- SPL will not be much for american homes, but for small European rooms it should suffice.
Some official specs:
- 200mm woofer
- Frequency response: 40 to 150Hz
- Power: 100 watts
- Phaseswitch: 0/180 degrees
- Inputs: L/R, LFE RCA
- Dimensions: H 336 x W 310 x D 310 mm
