Reviews around power (5.00 of 5)

  • There's more than enough power to drive my KEF LS 50s (volume at 12 o'clock for loud listening) and pair with my SVS SB-1000 in my office, I have room filling sound at a quality level I can't buy without spending a ton more and with a much larger desk foot print
  • Remote power works but the actual power button on the unit is non functional.

Reviews around bluetooth capability (5.00 of 5)

Reviews around app (4.03 of 5)

  • If ELAC decides in the future not to support the app
  • Other problem worth mentioning is at the time this integrated amplifier was released, ISO app have yet to be approved by apple, no where in the manual tells you any information about where one would find this App.
  • amazing!The Android App works very well with many useful options
  • Would have been nice to include a QR Code in the manual for the correct app

Reviews around amp (3.44 of 5)

  • I found the Cambridge Audio CXA60 to be a better amp overall
  • Lastly, I had hear from some people that the amp was hard to use and the software was glitchy... from my experience so far this has not been true, it seems extremely user friendly to me!Very happy with the purchase
  • If you think the amp may be underpowered, keep in mind that, when you employ a subwoofer, the unit will divert low frequency info away from the main speakers and not tax the amplifier
  • This amp sounds great when it works; however, the Bluetooth connectivity is absolutely miserable - even when trying to connect at 12 inch distances

More about ELAC EA Series Integrated Amplifier, Silver (EA101EQ-G)

  • While a handful of separates and integrated units offered great sound, none delivered the performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the ELAC name
  • So where none existed before, the engineers started with a clean-sheet and simple design brief: build one of the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifiers imaginable; do it without compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price it so fairly that it becomes a hands-down choice, even when compared against units at many times the price.
