Just a couple of questions: How did the finish look? Did you happen to get a chance to compare the B5/B6 to the F5?

Here's a photo of the F5 from RMAF.
The F5 looks really good. I saw photos with some little feet under them and I am kind of wishing I pre-ordered the F5's instead. I have the Pioneer FS 52 and the layout reminds me of that speaker. Thanks for the photo!
ELAC decided to forgo the usual vinyl finish in favor of a brushed aluminum look. It's very well done. There are no visible screws or holes on the baffle. I'll post a photo tomorrow.
The room was very crowded so it was hard to get a look but from what I could tell the finish is first- rate. They don't look cheap at all. Andrew said come back later or tomorrow morning to hear the smaller speakers. For anyone interested they're using Roon as their source. Really nice.
Gary, please post in detail on the B5 and B6. Thanks.

ELAC decided to demo only the F5 at RMAF this year. What he did tell me was that The F5 and B5 sound is identical, with the obvious exception that the F5 has deeper bass. I heard them again this morning. They're absolutely remarkable when considering the restrictions of designing for this price point.
I think these are a 'first product' and the next will be maybe double the price.

Andrew says most of the entire line is available now, with the balance to follow within a week. For now the F5 is the top of the line.
