# Elac FS 247 Floorstanding Speaker – €850
It's a buyer's market for used floorstanders right now, and this Elac sits right at fair value. Your database comps anchor at €853 median (€777–€929 range), so €850 is essentially spot-on—no negotiating room, but no overreach either. The FS 247 is a solid mid-tier design from Elac's catalog; used units typically move in this band because they're competent but not collectible. Expect honest performance, not a steal.
Before committing, verify the tweeter is intact—Elac's soft-dome units can develop crackling if exposed to moisture or thermal stress. Confirm both woofers move freely and symmetrically (no rattle, no stiffness). Ask whether the original foam surround is original or refoamed; surrounds deteriorate after 15+ years and replacement runs €150–250 per speaker. Check that the cabinet isn't warped or water-damaged, and insist on a listen if possible—a blown crossover component is hard to diagnose remotely.
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.
