I notice a consensus that Elac B6 is a best buy for the money. If it is rated at, say 9 out of 10, wonder what the rating of B5 would be, given the smaller size and lower efficiency. Of course only those who have auditioned both can tell. Anybody?!
Cheers

The Dayton B652 goes for around $40 and got a good review from Stereophile! There is no end to these great budget speakers.

I never read the review but if they gave it a good recommendation for the price, any speaker that works for $40. is good.....
There are several reviews out there comparing the B5 vs B6. In summary they say the B6s have more bass and dynamic range. I have the B6s and they will play really loud without distortion with lots of bass. Some people would not even need a sub with them. For $50 more bucks, it's well worth the money. BTW, you can easily remove the tweeter grill with a paper clip, it really opens up the top end. All IMHO.
Yeah, I know the B6 is a great buy. In a Govt run school nearby where the poor kids study, they cannot afford lunch and with 50 bucks I can feed 30 kids for a whole month. That is the kind of value for money I am struggling with. Just doesnt feel like spending extra on my luxurious listening to music.

I'm a recently retired teacher here in GA and all kids eat free that can't afford lunch, about 95% at the public school where I taught. It's a federal program BTW. Some even received food to take home for the weekends. So invest in your mental health with music, you deserve it. Lot cheaper than a doctor visit...
When Andrew Jones were designing the first Pioneer Speakers, I bought the 41;s rather than the 21's.
Good question. It seemed that before the ELACs became available, the B5 was deemed to be the next "giant killer" (for lack of a better term). Then when the line is finally available, the B6 became "the star".
I've not heard either speaker but I am interested to know. I'm thinking of getting either the B5 or the B6.
