Hi!
Anyone here has decided to buy one of the new B5 or B6 Elac speakers?
Is there any other vendor in addition to Amazon?
Thanks,
Dan

I had done the pre-order thing, and got an email on 9/1/15 saying approximately three weeks. As last week was three weeks and no word, I sent an email, below is what I received in return. So shouldn't be long now.

Good morning Kurt,
The first of many containers have arrived at a U.S. Port. Once we receive the product into inventory, we'll contact you via the method requested and arrange for billing and shipping. Assuming no customs delays, product will ship the first full week of October.
Thanks for you patience and please contact me with any further questions.
Sincerely,
James Krodel

Here is the latest from Elac on the Debut pre-orders:

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to give you a status update on your pre-orders. Most of the products have now arrived at the port, however since this is our first incoming shipment from overseas U.S. Customs is performing a secondary screening. This process might delay the product by a week. We are requesting status updates daily.
The good news is that shipping in the United States will be free for those who pre-ordered. For those of outside of the United States we are still working on a process to get you the product the least expensive way possible.
We will provide an update to everyone's pre-order as soon as we resolve the customs delay.
Thanks,
Chris Walker

Got the email that the speakers are available late last night, just ordered a pair of the B6 about a minute ago, now the interminable wait for the delivery truck begins. Free delivery by the way...
worth the wait, drive them with about 100wpc, ss will do, a tubed preamp might be best for any system.

To other speakers < $1K?

To PSB speakers in the same price range.

but you name some and i will tell you if i had heard them and where i would rank them in retrospect.

Just a couple of more days! Can't wait. I am hoping that a local Best Buys or HH Greg will carry them. I hate waiting for shipping.......
Why Best Buy? They should be auditioned in a better place.

You can buy ELAC speakers on rutherfordaudio.com
I just realized you are talking about speakers we don't carry.
ELAC is now owned by a new company therefore we only sell what we have left in stock.
Our stock - Made in Germany.
New Stock - Made in China
<-Not bitter at all about it :)
I signed up with Elac directly to pre-order.
If Amazon can make it happen quicker, I'll go with them
although I got an email from Elac on 9-1 saying they were
about ready to ship. (they said 3 weeks, looks like a little longer)
Did you get a chance to listen before ordering? Or do you think it is good enough judging from the Pioneer? $229?
Cheers
Bill
They are going to sell a ton of these speakers.
I can't wait to see what the more upscale version looks like.
