In order to complete our project, a set of quality loudspeakers must be purchased. Our group has gone through many different speakers and has now narrowed it down to two different speakers. There speakers are the Bose 201's and the ELAC B5's.
The comparisons we have done between them left us with the following. The speakers are about $10 different in price, with B5's being the pricier. The B5's are 8.8" x 7.9" x 12.8" and weigh 12 pounds. They have a 5.25" woofer. The 201's are 13" x 8" x 8" and weigh 22.4 pounds. They have a 6.5" woofer.
Our first instinct tells us to go with the Bose speakers just because Bose is such a reputable company and ELAC is relatively unheard of. My brother has a pair of Bose 301's and they sound terrific so I am assuming the 201's are also very nice. However, the B5's won the 2015 Absolute Sound Product of the Year and they are designed by famous speaker designer, Andrew Jones.
Hopefully we can make a final decision soon and purchase our speakers, putting us a step further in our project.
