ELAC FS 247
ELAC FS 247 floorstanding speaker, flagship model of the 240 series, in a compact and slim format, designed for coherent sound diffusion throughout the room.
Description
The FS 247 is a floorstanding speaker from ELAC, presented as one of the flagship models of the 240 series. It is positioned as a speaker intended to equip a hi-fi or home cinema system, with a stated aim: to offer a refined sound reproduction within a reduced floor footprint.
The manufacturer highlights particular attention paid to the sound wave's radiation pattern, with the aim of diffusing sound in a coherent and harmonised way throughout the listening room. The FS 247 is also distinguished by its compact and slim design, while aiming to reproduce low frequencies below 50 Hz.
This model is aimed at a listener wishing to incorporate a discreet floorstanding speaker into their living room or listening space, without sacrificing sound diffusion quality. Its slim format suits installations where visual bulk needs to remain limited, while retaining the advantages of a floorstanding speaker over a bookshelf speaker.
What to check before buying used
On a slim floorstanding speaker like the FS 247, check the condition of the woofer suspensions: sagging or hardening results in a dull sound and a lack of firmness in the lower frequencies. Also inspect the cabinet, particularly the corners and veneer, which are more exposed to transport damage given this tall, narrow format. Checking the rear connectors and testing each channel at moderate volume will help detect any internal wiring issues or a faulty driver.
