This is not Andrew Jones’ Elac. It is the other – the one who never left Germany, never compromised and never took care of it when it fits her living room. The Elac Concentro series has always shown the highlight of the German loudspeaker design – equal parts bold sculpture and acoustic science experiment. The original concentro was born as a showpace for Elac’s 90th anniversary and did not try to win heart. Fast lead until 2025 and the new one Concentrate 807 m Is Elac’s gift for himself before his 99th birthday.
It is a courageous memory that this is not your entry-level debt equipment this is the high-end division that Kiel never left.
Luxury design that doesn’t whisper – it roars
The Concentro M 807 was developed in cooperation with a first -class Hamburg design studio and happens when industrial art and acoustic studies are brought together in a wind tunnel. Available in black or white high gloss with precision aluminum accents The graceful curves and angled aircraft of the closet look as if they had been carved by wind and time-but they are actually constructed to reduce the flexion and optimize the dispersion. Beauty hits the brutalist acoustic intention.
VXE technology
Under the bonnet – if you can call this sculpture as a bonnet – is the latest innovation of ELAC: VXE technology. In the core, a six-driver midray (the VXE 6) circles the revered ray 6c wedding covers in a concentric arrangement. It is a full front attack on Bland Soundstaging.
Five modes selected by the user control the radiation pattern and let yourself choose the right balance of direct and diffuse sound. Regardless of whether you are trying to impress your friends or simply melt into the music with lights and whiskey in hand, the M 807 adapts to her room as if she knew what you need before you do it.
Dual 250 -mm deep tinters who do not ask -they demand
The Concentro M 807 is not here for background music. It is armed with two 250 mm (10 inches) aluminum sandwich woofers that are impulse-compensated-a massive driver who shaken the closet was simply not extreme enough. This setup delivers an underground bass without mud or inflation. It is the type of low-end that makes your walls sweat, but somehow keeps it narrow, clean and surgically. Donner with manners.
Elac knows that most rooms are not acoustically treated palaces. Therefore, the M 807 fires its bass down as if it were put under her planks – without the usual cornerchaos. The gearing bass reflex system minimizes the spatial resonance and helps these beasts wherever you park it. Housing residents, they were warned.
Crossover network
In the rigid aluminum chassis of the Concentro M 807 there is an meticulously constructed crossover network, which was designed and expressed by the F&E team by Elac in Kiel. This is not outside the circuit-one component was selected for performance, durability and signal integrity. Premium film capacitors ensure a low dielectric absorption, air conditioning inductors remove saturation and the MOX resistance also maintains thermal stability under demanding playback conditions.
The result is a precise phase orientation and seamless integration across all four drivers. Transitions between woofers, sidewalk and the Jet 6c wedding are treated with surgical accuracy, which means that the sound balance and the spatial coherence is preserved with every volume. This is a technically controlled mood-solved and relentlessly optimized.
Crystal membrane Midbass: Built like a diamond like a default hammer
Elac’s crystal membrane drivers not only not only see As if it was grown in the laboratory of a bond base – it also looks like this. The faceted surface stiffens the aluminum dome for lower distortions and higher dynamics, while the sandwich construction reduces the coloring. Throw the long-term excursion surround design and a language coil that is basically a high-flyer, and you have a driver who flinches high. It’s brutal – but nice.
Jet 6 tweeter: Speed Kills (distortion)
Then there is the Jet 6 high-töner-Elac’s Crown Jewel with a high frequency precision. In contrast to soft dome high talents, which can blur temporary details, the Jet 6 uses a folded air movement transformation design for ultra-fast reaction and wide dynamic range. It moves air with far fewer excursions, which leads to a lower distortion, higher efficiency and an extension of the height far beyond the limits of human hearing.
Translation: This tweeter not only plays the pelvis, but also reveals the texture of the stick that strikes the metal. Smear? Not here. This is Schmeer-free listening-unless you speak Bagels. In the M 807, the jet 6 surgical precision, crystalline clarity and the holographic top end, which has been pursuing audiophilic for decades.

The end result
Yes, the Concentro M 807 looks like it was designed by a team of extraterrestrial architects, which is moony as an industrial image of the moon under this bold, sci-fi outeries belong to some of the most advanced acoustic engineering that Elac has ever done. From the VXE concentric array to the Jet 6-high tones and the double impulse-compensated woofer, this is not just a conversation piece-is a precision-built sound weapon. Looks wild. Sounds even wilder.
