Managed to miss the sweet spot of the range.

I think the Debut b5 were fantastic. I much preferred them to the b5.2

Why does every single review site and article online praise the low-end Elac speakers, but completely ignore their mid-range and more premium speakers as if they don't even exist???

Sure, the Elac UF5/UB5/Debut B.5 and so on are good speakers for the price, but they are not even remotely Elac's most interesting or impressive speakers that are worthy of in-depth discussion.

Why don't you guys cover Elac's mid-tier speakers, such as the Solano or Vela series? The Jet-5 tweeter in this lineup sounds like nothing else for the price, yet as soon as you get to this price point WhatHiFi and others will just talk about KEF and no one else, ignoring Elac's similarly priced, (and better sounding IMO) options.
