time machine me back to $150 a pair for the 6 inch please..
the 4.2 inch went as low as $90 recently before Black friday. but we're waiting for $70, magic number early last year.
Switched everything to Polk Signature series speakers and wow, what an immediate improvement in clarity and easily audible dialogue. Do not recommend this center for movies/TV. Elac Debut series were great for music though, no complaints there.

Edit: oh looks like my center is C6.2 debut 2.0, maybe there is a big difference. Also had paired with f6.2 floor speakers.

i'm not calling you a liar. must be some interplay between your receiver and the speakers.

I'm now on the JBL Studio line (530, 520C). The bookshelves are much better than the Polk S15 or ELACs, but the center is still just okay. That's just the nature of MtM center speakers.
I love them and think they work pretty great in a 5.2.2 setup a 5.1 setup or a 7.1 setup. I've had all 3 at different times. Powered by Denon 3400H/760H.
My thoughts:
1) These prices are often available. Elac website sometimes throws in free cables and/or stands.
2) These speakers like power and really sound better and fuller between 60-80db. Most of the lineup is 6 ohm. I didnt realize until this moment that the 2 center options - c6.2 and c5.2 - are 8 ohms.
3) Denon has an audyssey setting called "dynamic volume". This makes huge difference when watching 5.1 or 7.1 media. (Light setting works for me.)
4) Denon also has settings that can bump up dialogue at low volume.
I wonder if ppl saying they cant get response out of these maybe aren't setting them up properly. For me they are great. Really great!
(Of course if you like really "bright" sound, you prob wont like elac at all. They aren't known for that - whereas some other brands like Klipsch are.)
Anyway, that's my real world feedback. These speakers are boxy, they aren't sexy and while often of sale, they never really get "slick" pricing.
But they sound great to me.
