While no new Facet subwoofer is presently available, the spotslight shines on the rest of the speakers, starting from an affordable £299.
Elipson, a prestigious French high-end audio brand, is renowned for its top-tier speakers that often come with a hefty price tag. However, the new Prestige Facet II range promises to offer a taste of heavenly audio without breaking the bank. The cheapest offering sets you back £299, with the premium options peaking at a still reasonable £3,000 per pair.
The Facet II lineup boasts 10 speakers, catering to various configurations. The lineup includes two bookshelf models, three sets of floorstanders, two centers, a pair for Dolby Atmos height channels, a surround pair, and an LCR speaker.
The absence of a subwoofer in the new lineup is an unusual omission, considering the first generation included the Facet Sub 8.1.
The new models showcase a sleek satin finish, replacing the gloss finish of the previous generation. Technical improvements are apparent throughout the range.
Highlights of Elipson Prestige Facet II Speakers:
- The three floorstanding models flaunt new decoupling feet, designed to offer better isolation from the floor for improved low-frequency reproduction.
- The cabinets have been reinforced, while the passive crossover underwent a complete overhaul with a host of audiophile-grade components, ensuring better channel decoupling, a smoother frequency response, and a more coherent, natural soundstage.
- All speakers come equipped with oxygen-free copper cabling for improved sound quality.
Available finishes include black, white, and black with walnut, crafted in a satin finish.
