Bunno77 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 These look very good and guessing they will sound incredible https://www.monoandstereo.com/2020/01/new-elac-concentro-s-507-speakers.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
Guest deanB Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Sharp looking design. Legs like the Heco Direkt series have (bottom port too?). Above my price range but looking forward to finding out more about these.
Guest Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Its no secret I am a HUGE Elac fan, however I will need to be impressed with the sound as I think they are bloody ugly! Never thought I would say that about a German-made Elac, but there you go. Not a patch visually on the current 500 series. Will need to see them in the flesh. I'm sure they will sound amazing though!!! When I saw the topic title I thought it was for these instead:-
Guest Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I absolutely adore the Concentro look @Bunno77! And loved the 300 speakers.

I can't stand the Vivid Gaias to look at but oh lordy I want them I'm not a fan of the grills for side firing drivers. There's a few speakers like this that do this too like SVS and Audio Physic but overall I still think the new Elacs look good. Nice to see the Jet Tweeter mounted coaxial/concentric in a cheaper speaker. Thought it might be limited to the Concentro. 1
Guest Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Those look seriously ugly @Bunno77 I must be getting old or something, because the majority of the new gear coming out just looks so disgusting (to me at least). Anything focal, for example - and so many others. Looks and craftsmanship really do matter - and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'll buy with both equally in mind.

I didn't realise before that the back was raised. I thought they were just outriggers and not full on legs. Now with that and the side firing driver covers I don't like them at all from the side. I still think they look nice from the front. 100% with you regarding aesthetics being important and agree a fair amount of new gear is hideous especially Focal but then I think a lot of old stuff is even worse.
