The press release for these speakers links the look of these news seekers to the 70s studio monitors, the JBL 4350s and the Tannoy Buckingham and I can see the connections, of course
What we have here are speakers from a UK outfit called Stratton Acoustics, who are not pushing studio workhorses. They are pushing fine furniture with elegance and refinery, with a finish to match.
Focusing on 250 litre birch plywood enclosures finished to bespoke furniture standards.
This is the Elypsis1512 then, a three-way passive speaker built around two paper-based 380mm bass drivers, a single 300mm paper-based midrange driver and a mechanically decoupled, 29mm soft dome tweeter with waveguide.
It’s also an asymmetric design, so speakers are built in mirror image format.
Sensitivity sits around 94dB to 98dB into 8 Ohms, depending on the midrange and tweeter EQ settings and mid and treble units can be altered +/- 2db. Hence low power valve amps can be used here.
Actually, according to the company, when asked what amps can be hooked up to these speakers, it said , “Any.”
Price? £69,000 per pair but more if you want to go crazy on the finish. There is an optional stand and the grill is also optional but I don’t have prices for those as yet .
