SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 95/100
Bass
97/100
Four 250 mm woofers, 4-way bass-reflex cabinet and 18 Hz specified extension point to exceptional low-frequency authority and extension for a reference-class tower. Large cabinet mass (152 kg) and high recommended amplifier power suggest excellent control and headroom. No review excerpts provided; score based on driver complement, cabinet size, and spec sheet.
Mid
95/100
Dedicated 220 mm low-mid driver (AS XR) and separate ring-radiator high-mid indicate very strong midrange clarity, timbral accuracy and crossover coherence. 4‑way topology and careful driver allocation support clean vocal presence and minimal masking through the crossover regions. Scored from the driver/coax arrangement and crossover design in the specs.
Treble
94/100
JET 6 tweeter with 50 kHz upper extension promises airy, detailed and refined high frequencies without obvious strain. The separate high-mid driver should ease the tweeter's load, reducing harshness at high levels. Assessment derived from tweeter technology and frequency-range spec.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Multi-driver, 4‑way layout with ring radiator and JET tweeter supports wide, layered soundstage and precise imaging potential. Large cabinet and driver separation aid depth and lateral extension; placement and room will affect results. Scored based on transducer choices and enclosure scale.
Dynamics
96/100
High nominal/peak power handling (400/600 W) and heavy build suggest exceptional macro- and micro-dynamic capability and slam. Multiple large woofers and robust recommended amplifier power support effortless transient control and headroom. Rating inferred from power handling, driver count and mass.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
96/100
152 kg mass, luxury finishes (high gloss options), and included accessories (bi-wiring set, tool set, trolley) indicate very high-end mechanical engineering and finish quality. 4‑way crossover and specialized drivers imply complex, high-quality crossover components and internal bracing. Score based on stated materials, weight and configuration.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive baseline applied. Bi-wiring set included but per passive-tower rules the connectivity score is fixed at the passive baseline.
Value for Money
78/100
Performance on paper is reference-class, but the very high price point (~85,999.96) places these in the luxury tier; value is strong for buyers seeking reference performance but limited for budget-conscious buyers. No independent review language claiming outstanding value was provided, so score is generous yet cautious.

Manufacturer's Description — ELAC
Concentro 2.0 Floorstanding Speaker
The Concentro 2.0 cannot be mistaken for any other speaker, featuring a complex base machined from a single block of aluminum and weighing more than 55 pounds.
The aluminium sandwich woofers in a push-push/pull-pull arrangement are characterized by high internal damping (cardboard cone) and high torsional rigidity (aluminium dome) and deliver an enormous but controlled bass down to the deepest subsonic range. Oval side panels made of solid wood, laminated with carbon fiber or leather, frame two side-firing 250 mm woofers on each side of the cabinet.
A Masterpiece
ELACs Flagship Loudspeaker Design
The Concentro 2.0 is designed for top-tier performance, minimizing standing waves and resonances through its solid construction and thick MDF cabinet walls. Its carefully engineered design eliminates parallel surfaces that could foster unwanted vibrations. Additionally, the mid-tweeter, bass-midrange, and woofer are housed in separate chambers, ensuring acoustic decoupling and enhancing the cabinets overall stability.
VX-JET (Variable X-JET)
Tuned to your space
The acclaimed coaxial chassis, consisting of a midrange ring radiator and a JET tweeter arranged coaxially and coplanar with it, is a central component of the Concentros impressive sound. The special feature of this chassis is its adaptability, hence the name VX-JET (Variable X-JET). As no two rooms are the same and the same speaker sounds different in different rooms, the adjustment mechanism on the rear of the Concentro allows the sound dispersion plane to be continuously adjusted 8 mm in front of and 8 mm behind the neutral position. This allows the sound dispersion angle to be adapted to any spatial situation.
Crystal Membrane Driver
Engineered for Low Distortion
Based on ELAC’s Aluminum-Sandwich AS Technology. Resembling the surface of a large crystal, the aluminum-foil stamping stiffens the aluminum dome, diminishing resonances and minimizing coloration, while improving power handling and dynamics. The voice coil design of the drivers results in an expanded frequency range, and driver surround allows for longer cone excursions for truly prodigious volume and lowest distortion, a unique engineering achievement for a driver of its size.
JET 6 Tweeter
Lightning-Fast Response and Wide Dynamic Range
Delivering true high-definition sound, ELAC’s JET 6 tweeter enthralls with its lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion, lots of headroom, and a distinctly wider frequency range than conventional dome tweeters. The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the industry and has won international praise for its transparent and effortless sound image.
