Wow, that review almost hurt to read.
"For cabling, we stuck to a Viablue series, also appropriate in terms of price."
"We leveled the speakers with a spirit level and tightened the spikes. These are precisely the famous small details that often decide whether you’re moderately satisfied or can’t bear to part from your system and the associated musical enjoyment."
"Since its designers filtered out the very lowest tones, the speaker did not excessively tend toward muddiness or an unseemly booming in the bass region. Otherwise, if it had deeper bass extension, at higher volumes the cabinet could have started to resonate undesirably."

Also, that FR graph looks sketchy. Huge hump between 150Hz and 1kHz but a -3dB point of what, 110Hz? Maybe something was busted because that seems completely whack.

Their measurements are obviously from the German magazine STEREO so I guess also the text is just a translation, hope with the knowledge and cooperation of the magazine.

Up until this past week, I had the Debut 2.0 B6.2 and survived with them for a while and thought at the time were just great. I am a Movie person and those speakers were just too Neutral for my ears. I went back being a Klipsch person and with their RP-500M II, these have all the detail, clarity and balance, I have been looking for, w/o being shouty. All 5 Klipsch speakers are connected to a Denon AVR for 5.1 Dolby sound. Top Gun Maveric, Classical, and piano, never sounded so good with the Klipsch RP-500M II. No more having to replace anymore speakers. They go on sale for $345, every so often, which was within my budget.

Crutchfield is now taking pre-orders for the ELAC Debut 3.0 series of loudspeakers in a 'Walnut' vinyl-wrapped enclosure with inventory expected to arrive March 26, 2025.

And where is this increase between 100 and 1000hz in Erin's measurements?
Really stupid and stressful...
I wonder what the goal of these people who give false measurements is?
Or did he move them so close to the wall that caused entire middle bass bloated, and the room made a mess below 150hz?
If that's the case, then we're all screwed listening to reviewers like this.
