Offered is „Concentro S 507“ by Elac as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5058521505 ends on 20.12.2026 at 16:48 o'clock.
When new, the ELAC Concentro sat firmly in flagship territory, with comparable Concentro models listed around €11,998–€15,998. At €3,990, this is a strong bargain: it sits below the €4,106 25th-percentile mark from nine recent comparables, and well under the €7,619 median.
The appeal is serious engineering rather than mere spectacle: a highly capable multi-driver design, broad, deep staging, excellent bass extension, and the kind of scale and refinement that suits large-room listening. Concentros are also relatively efficient, though their dynamic potential rewards a genuinely robust amplifier. The practical checks are straightforward—confirm this is the full pair, inspect the heavy cabinets and drivers closely, and verify all grilles, spikes, and any original accessories—but assuming the condition is genuinely good, this looks like an unusually worthwhile way into reference-level ELAC.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Elac, a cornerstone of German audio engineering, traces its origins to September 1, 1926, when Electroacustic GmbH was founded in Kiel by Dr. Heinrich Hecht, Dr. Wilhelm Rudolph, and Gerhard Schmidt. Initially focused on sonar technology and underwater acoustics for maritime applications, the company peaked at 5,000 employees during World War II, supplying the Kriegsmarine. Postwar restrictions pivoted it toward consumer goods like sewing machines and radios, while distributing brands such as Sony, Fisher, and Nakamichi in Germany. By 1978, it divested its nautical division to concentrate on hi-fi, with Austrian CEO Wolfgang John taking the helm in 1981 to steer its modern trajectory.
Elac excels primarily in loudspeakers, renowned for innovations like the 1985 4Pi omnidirectional tweeter and the JET folded-ribbon tweeter, which deliver exceptional dispersion and clarity. Its portfolio spans high-end floorstanders, bookshelves, and compact systems across series like Vela, Solano, and Debut, alongside turntables such as the Miracord lineup, subwoofers, and electronics including amplifiers and DACs. This broad yet speaker-centric range caters to discerning setups from entry-level to reference-grade.
Positioned as a high-end mainstay with mid-tier accessibility, Elac commands respect among audiophiles for its precise German engineering, balancing value and performance without chasing boutique exclusivity. Under John's enduring leadership, it sustains a reputation for dynamic, transparent sound that rivals elite competitors, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
