Elipson Prestige Facet II speakers
The Prestige Facet II range enters a new era with an optimized version – the fruit of Elipson‘s ongoing commitment to sonic excellence and manufacturing quality. While retaining the emblematic models that made the original series so successful, this new version is distinguished by both aesthetic and technical improvements, designed for the most demanding audiophiles.
The Prestige Facet II front panel now features a high-end satin finish, replacing the original gloss finish. This choice gives the speakers a more modern, sober and smoother appearance for an evolution that is both aesthetically pleasing and sustainable.
The three floorstanding models now feature new decoupling feet with a more contemporary design, offering a visually lighter but mechanically reinforced base. These feet ensure better isolation of the cabinet from the floor, limiting vibration transmission and optimizing low-frequency reproduction.
The rigidity of the cabinet has been improved by additional internal reinforcements, whose geometry has been redesigned to provide better mechanical support for the loudspeakers. This structural optimization reduces parasitic resonances, improves bass response and ensures a more linear response, particularly at high volumes.
The passive crossover has been completely redesigned, incorporating high-quality audiophile components (polypropylene film capacitors, metal-coated resistors, low DCR inductors). This overhaul of the crossover network results in better channel decoupling, a smoother frequency response and a more coherent, natural soundstage.
Each loudspeaker is now wired internally with 2.25 mm² OFC (oxygen free copper), guaranteeing optimum conductivity and loss-free signal transmission between crossover components and loudspeakers. This particular attention to cabling quality contributes to the overall fidelity and transparency of the listening experience.
