Elipson is France's oldest speaker brand, making its name in 1967 with the BS40 / 2, a set of spherical speakers.
As a seamless segway to the present, Elipson has chosen its modern-day spherical sound-slingers, the Planet L, as one of three products to be upgraded for the company's birthday.
The cool-looking 2-way bass-reflex speaker features a 165mm paper membrane woofer, 25mm fabric dome tweeter and pushes out 80W at 6 Ohms. Further details include a frequency response of 48Hz-20kHz. The 80th Anniversary edition boasts improved cables and crossover. The RRP is 849 € for a pair.
Along with the Planet L, the Prestige Facet 8B bookshelf speakers are being gifted with new and improved crossovers while being dressed in eye-catching satin black with gold highlights.
The Prestige Facet 8B is also a 2-way bass-reflex speaker but rated at 85W RMS at 6 Ohms. The drivers are a 170 mm mid/bass and 25 mm silk dome tweeter that give a 47Hz-25kHz frequency response and 91dB / 1W / lm sensitivity. Around the back are gold plated connectors for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. The 230x361x347mm (WxHxD) speakers weigh 8kg and also features improved cables and crossover. The birthday Facets have an RRP of 649 € per pair.
Rounding up the birthday trio is the Alpha 100 RIAA BT. The turntable also benefits from the black and gold cosmetic make-over and gets an improved phono stage. The striking matt black PVC frame with gold highlights is complimented by a stamped steel platter and aluminium tonearm at the end of which is an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge. Additionally, there's the integrated RIAA pre-amplifier that has been upgraded and also Bluetooth aptX and USB for hooking up to Bluetooth-enabled speakers or your computer system. The 80th Anniversary turntable has an RRP of 549€.
The Elipson 80th Anniversary range will become available in December 2018.
