ELAC BS 253
Compact bookshelf speaker ELAC BS 253, designed with a deliberately visible look to fit into a living room.
Description
The BS 253 is a bookshelf speaker from ELAC, designed to occupy a visible place in a room rather than blend into the décor. Its compact format allows it to be placed on a piece of furniture, a shelf or a dedicated stand, without requiring the space that a floorstanding speaker would demand.
The brand claims a deliberate aesthetic approach for this model: the BS 253 is designed to catch the eye as much as the ear, an approach that stands in contrast to discreet speakers intended to disappear visually within the setup.
This type of compact bookshelf speaker is aimed at a user who wants quality stereo listening in a living room or office, without devoting a large amount of space to their speakers, while accepting that they will form an integral part of the décor rather than fade into the background.
What to check before buying used
On a bookshelf speaker of this format, the surrounds of the woofer(s) deserve careful inspection: hardened, cracked or sagging foam alters the sound and may indicate a repair to come. Also check the cabinet, veneer, corners and front panel, for knocks, chips or signs of damp, and check that the grille and connection terminals are present and in good condition. Testing both speakers together, if the pair is complete, allows the left/right tonal balance to be compared.
