ELAC’s Concentro M 807: The German Statement Piece That Sounds as Bold as It Looks

Aerospace-grade design, six midrange drivers, and thunderous bass—ELAC’s new flagship is anything but polite.

Meet the Concentro M 807 — ELAC’s latest floorstanding loudspeaker that feels more like a science fiction prototype than a traditional Hi-Fi product. Debuted at High End Munich 2025, this sonic monolith from the German brand’s premium division in Kiel is a bold celebration of form, engineering, and unapologetic acoustic power.

Forget the modest bookshelf speakers and Andrew Jones’ American-made Debut series. This is the other ELAC—the one that speaks fluent aluminum, doesn’t blink at four-digit wattage, and designs speakers as if wind, sound, and sculpture collided in a wind tunnel.

Design That Doesn’t Whisper—It Commands Attention

Crafted in collaboration with a Hamburg design studio, the M 807 flaunts sweeping aluminum lines and aerodynamic contours, available in high-gloss black or white. This isn't just about looks—those curves are precisely engineered to reduce diffraction and optimize sound dispersion.

Call it industrial art. Call it acoustic sculpture. Just don’t call it subtle.

VXe 6 Array: ELAC’s Midrange Revolution

At the heart of the M 807 is VXe Technology: six precision-engineered midrange drivers wrapped concentrically around the legendary JET 6c Air Motion Transformer tweeter. Together, they deliver a soundstage that’s panoramic, immersive, and highly adaptable.

Five user-selectable radiation modes allow for tailored dispersion, letting you customize your listening environment—whether you’re throwing a party or melting into a solo jazz record in the dark.

Twin 10-Inch Woofers: Bass With Brains and Brawn

The low-end arsenal? Dual 250mm aluminum sandwich woofers, impulse-compensated and down-firing, designed to push air with surgical control. The result is deep, clean, tactile bass—subwoofer-level extension without the mud.

Down-firing bass reflex architecture helps these speakers behave even in challenging rooms. The M 807 is smart enough to respect your space—but powerful enough to shake its foundation.

Precision Inside and Out

Behind the aluminum façade lies a custom crossover network, meticulously tuned by ELAC’s R&D team in Kiel. Premium components like film capacitors, air-core inductors, and MOX resistors ensure transparent transitions between drivers and perfect phase alignment—no off-the-shelf compromises here.

It’s all about signal integrity and longevity. This isn’t mass-market gear—it’s reference-grade audio, engineered for purists.

Crystal Midbass and the JET 6: Sonic Detail, Delivered

The crystal membrane midbass drivers add texture and force, while the JET 6 tweeter delivers upper frequencies with breathtaking clarity. An advanced folded-ribbon Air Motion Transformer, the JET 6 captures detail other tweeters simply blur. It’s fast, efficient, and hyper-accurate.

Think of it as a scalpel for treble—precise, dynamic, and expansive.
