FRENCH HIFI BRAND ELIPSON ADS TO HERITAGE LINE

Elipson Audio of France has announced the final addition to their Heritage line, Elipson Heritage XLS7 Bookshelf Speakers.

The brand new Elipson Heritage XLS7 bookshelf model joins its larger siblings, the XLS11 and XLS15 to create a complete family of speakers that reflect today’s vintage feel of styling and design.

ELIPSON HERITAGE XLS7 BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS

The XLS7 brings all the performance elements of the larger models and combines them with a highly compact form factor to give further flexibility when integrating into smaller rooms.

VINTAGE AESTHETICS

The XLS7 is definitely vintage in terms of styling and design however the performance side of this loudspeaker is much more modern. Blending a vintage aesthetic with a contemporary sound was key for the engineers in Paris. Therefore this 2-way speaker is a bass reflex design with a front-firing flared port. It features a 6.5” domed drive unit for the midrange and for the high frequencies the twin magnet 0.87” silk dome tweeter as used in the XLS11 and XLS15.

The XLS7 speakers are designed in Paris and engineered in Burgundy.

TUNING

As with the other Heritage models in the range the XLS7 has the additional flexibility of a fine adjustment on the front of the speaker. This can tune the amplitude of mid and high frequencies by + or – 2dB to allow for variables in the listeners room.

STANDS

Partnering stands have also been designed to match both the aesthetic and the performance required for these wonderful speakers.
