Following in the Elipson tradition, the Planet L is a superb compact speaker with outstanding musical qualities inherent to its spherical shape. The Planet L speaker is the fruit of two years of research in the field of state-of-the-art acoustic technologies with the aim of achieving excellent musical performance and a particularly attractive design featuring a stunning lacquer. Equipped with a 17 cm coaxial midrange/low driver and a 25 mm dome tweeter, this bass-reflex speaker provides an exceptional listening experience from the very first notes of any song. Its meticulous construction (heavy and rigid for excellent inertia) ensures clean and muscular bass delivery. The Planet L offers an exceptionally neutral sound with remarkable coherence among the different timbres and registers (no excessive mids, highs or lows). The highs are soft and silky, the mids are full and sensual and the bass is ultra-responsive and tight. The Planet L strikes the right balance between high-definition and energy. The stereo soundstage is wide thanks to the excellent directivity offered by the coaxial speaker. The optional mounts may be used to install the Planet L on a wall or ceiling. Specifications: Speaker: Bookshelf Number of way: 2 Tweeter: 1" Mid-bass driver: 6,5" Recommended amplifier: 30 - 80 W Frequency Response (±3 dB): 48 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 90 dB / 1W / 1m Impedance: 6 Ohms Membrane: Membrane papier avec traitement amortissant Blindage: Magnetic Base: Amovible Weight: 2,25 kg Dimensions packaging (W x H x D): 207 x 240 x 215
Building on the success of the highly acclaimed Planet L, Elipson is introducing a miniature version of this iconic spherical model: the Planet M. Although more compact, the Planet M features a 10 cm driver and, accordingly, a sealed enclosure. Such small drivers weren't designed to deliver deep bass, as the choice has been made to exclusively restitute the upper bass register (down to 90 Hz). The use of a subwoofer is highly recommended, such as the Elipson Planet Sub, specially developed for this purpose. The spherical enclosure offers the undeniable advantage of eliminating resonance while allowing the speaker to express itself in optimal conditions. Its coaxial structure promotes a particularly precise and enveloping sound stage. The silk dome tweeter is very smooth and provides the highlighting required for good depth, without ever being intrusive. Sounds are neutral and silky. The finish is absolutely gorgeous, with a beautiful lacquered effect and a metal grill. The Planet M are indisputably elegant decorative objects, which you can showcase using the optional wall and ceiling mounts. Specifications: Speaker: Bookshelf Number of way :2 Tweeter : 0,7" Woofer: 4" Recommended amplifier: 30-80 W Frequency Response (±3 dB): 90 Hz - 22 kHz Sensitivity: 88 dB / 1W / 1m Impedance: 8 Ohms Blindage: Magnetic Base: Amovible Weight: 2,25 kg Dimensions packaging (W x H x D): 207 x 240 x 215

Denton 85th Anniversary is a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand veneered in Mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers with an inset front baffle and traditional Tungsten cloth grille. Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 85th Anniversary is bang up to date and utilises a mixture of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale’s innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis, this combination delivering a rich, detailed bass/midrange output with superb dynamic performance. High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft dome treble unit with high flux ferrite magnet, engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension. These drive units are combined by a highly researched crossover that is near inaudible to the listener, resulting in a coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material. Most famous Loudspeaker Wharfedale is proud to present this 85th Anniversary Edition of one of the brand’s most famous and popular loudspeakers – the Denton. Gilbert Briggs, who founded Wharfedale in 1932, turned the company into one of the most famous loudspeaker brands in the world by concentrating on quality and value for money. The Wharfedale Denton exemplified these two edicts, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and affordability inside a compact loudspeaker that was bought in its millions right across the globe. The original Denton went on to further other models based on its highly popular formula, the Denton 3 being the last of the line…until now!

Still compact but with increased cabinet volume and driver size for even more potency, the Wharfedale DIAMOND 12.2 offers a little more from a traditional standmount (or bookshelf) speaker format and embodies the history and performance values of the Wharfedale DIAMOND series. Perfect for larger rooms and more powerful 2-channel hi-fi systems, the DIAMOND 12. features a high-performance 150mm (6.5”) KlarityTM driver for extended, tight bass, and a superb 25mm (1”) woven polyester dome tweeter for open and smoothly extended high frequencies. A voice coil beyond this class The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy/glass fibre bobbin highly unusual in speakers at this price level. This has the advantage of not adding eddy currents and delivering greater power handling than an aluminium bobbin, whilst also being much stiffer than the Kapton type associated with this price-class. DIAMOND highs The 25mm dome is made from a woven polyester film with a high-loss coating to deliver open and smoothly extended high frequencies. The magnet system and the front plate have been optimised for wide dispersion and uncompressed behaviour. The front plate is flat and exposes the dome as much as possible; only a very short duct on the front plate balances the acoustic load and improves the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement. A crossover of style The crossover network uses an acoustic LKR 24dB topology. This includes air-core inductors of the type more commonly found in high-end speakers, selected because they produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. As the resistance of the coil is higher than a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid/bass driver has been modified to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor. Firm and fair The DIAMOND 12.1 ’s rear-ported enclosure is precisely sized so that the internal volume works in harmony with the drive unit system to deliver the desired sonic result. A multi-layered sandwich design subdues the identifiable characteristics of the cabinet’s ‘sound’. Even the resonant properties of the glue between the layers was measured to determine the optimum combination. Brace yourself Inside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposite walls with a specific form of the wood brace to achieve an optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the commonplace ‘figure of eight’ brace, which may simply transfer resonance from one wall to another.

A resolutely vintage and modular aesthetic code thanks to its two supplied bases. But beyond its aesthetic, its musicality comes first. This compact 3-way loudspeaker tuned in bass reflex design with front-firing flared port benefits from a new 30 cm diameter cellulose woofer with a powerful magnet, a new 55mm diameter treated dome midrange covering nearly three octaves and finally a 22mm diameter silk dome tweeter declined from the famous tweeter from our flagship model of the Prestige Facet series. A fine amplitude of 2dB allows you to adjust the mid and high frequencies levels according to your listening room or auditory affinity. In addition, it is possible to insert a base 7° tilt (supplied) for perfect acoustic phasing or on an optional metal stand that raises it by 19 cm in addition to this inclination. Energy and control of the bass, definition and relief of the midrange, delicacy and extension of the high frequencies characterize the sonic pleasure of this Elipson Heritage XLS15 loudspeaker.

An Innovative Solution The Concept 20 represents the start of a new era going beyond anything that Q Acoustics had achieved before. It's a beautifully styled product, which we confidently believe provides a level of sonic performance previously thought impossible at its price point. To achieve this extraordinary result, Q Acoustics' design team applied advanced technology to address cabinet resonance, widely recognised as the single biggest hurdle preventing 'high end' sonic performance. This State-of-the-Art, ultra-low resonance and beautifully lacquered cabinet design allows the 125mm drive unit and wide dispersion 25mm tweeter to perform at their very impressive best. Ultra-Low Resonance Cabinet Design The Concept 20 uses GelcoreTM Cabinet Construction, where two layers of MDF, are separated by a bespoke, resonance absorbing, non-setting adhesive which converts the kinetic energy and disperses it as heat. This substantially reduces distortion and allows the individual drive units to deliver their optimal performance, a pure and uncoloured sound. Stunning Sound, Luxury Looks Even the speakers attractive brushed aluminium facia plate is not purely decorative. Its part of an assembly, which clamps a butyl rubber sheet to the front panel to reduce cabinet resonance still further in the panel facing the listener. It is available in two beautiful multi-layered lacquered finishes in high gloss black and white. Multiple positions are possible thanks to a foam bung, which can be inserted in the rear-mounted reflex port modifying the bass response to suit positioning against a rear wall or close to a corner, to fit seamlessly into your chosen room.

The World's First Speakers with Metamaterial Great loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker. The incredibly immersive sound means you lose yourself in your favourite music. Savouring every nuance as layer upon layer of instrumentation is delivered with exceptional acoustic accuracy anywhere in the room. Every spot is the sweet spot 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT Using advanced simulation and analysis tools, our engineers have developed the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT. This new driver array delivers reduced colouration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible, all dispersed evenly throughout the room. Enhancement from legendary LS50 Lineage Great loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker, and enhancements over the legendary LS50 include Driver Performance Optimisation and patented off-set flexible port for the best acoustic performance and an incredible immersive sound. Curved for performance LS50 Meta’s low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. Its smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction. The result is cleaner, more precise sound. Braced for action LS50 Meta’s baffle is engineered from an injection-moulded Dough Moulding Compound (DMC), while inside the cabinet cross bracing and Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) combine to deaden internal vibrations. The result of such meticulous attention to detail is the lowest colouration of any speaker in its class. Flexible port Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the port flare and profile of LS50 Meta’s patented off-set port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence, and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from colouring the midrange. This leads to improved clarity, with exceptional depth and detail. Design Attention to every detail Every aspect of LS50 Meta has been considered for acoustic benefits and from a design perspective. The low-diffraction curved front baffle is subtly mirrored by the gently radiused rear panel, where both the port exit and speaker terminals have been elegantly recessed and softened visually. Designed for performance LS50 Meta may look sensational, but as a high-performance loudspeaker every aspect of its design is a case of form following function. From the precision modelled curved baffle to the solid, reinforced cabinet, every inch of LS50 Meta has been designed to perform. Finished to perfection LS50 Meta is much more than just a utilitarian loudspeaker; it is a piece of sculpture that livens up your life. This is why we offer a choice of four finishes, Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Mineral White, and Royal Blue Special Edition.

The Dutch & Dutch 8C uses a proprietary waveguide tweeter with an acoustic cardioid midrange and boundary-coupled bass drivers and active room matching, to provide stunning acoustical reproduction in any room. Unlike traditional speakers, the 8C can be placed closer to room boundaries without losing performance.Built to provide superior detail and clarity, the 8c provides constant directivity from 100Hz upwards and has a linear frequency response from 35Hz and up (+/- 0.5dB) offering unparalleled neutrality, precision and in-room tonal balance.The subwoofer is powered by a 500Watts amplifier feeding two high-excursion 8” drivers with boundary loading to ensure uncompromised precision and impact. The cabinet is made of high-quality birch plywood surrounded by stunning solid oak exterior panels. Despite their compact footprint, the speakers include high-quality DACs, subwoofers, DSP and room matching and streaming capabilities. DSP includes controls to let you fine tune your system, emulate another loudspeaker or simply tweak the sound a little. The DSP can be controlled via its web-based application or a native App on your phone or tablet. Automatic updates are also available with new firmware provided to keep your speaker up-to-date with the latest standards and features.Overview.Completely accurate music reproduction requires more than a thoroughly optimized speaker. It requires a speaker that works together with the acoustics of the listening room.The 8c is more than just a loudspeaker. It is a unique acoustic concept because its revolutionary design provides constant directivity from 100 Hz upwards. As a result, the 8c is above and beyond any other system in terms of neutrality, precision, and in-room tonal balance.Accurate.The 8c represents our commitment to accuracy and clarity.
