Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F Black (Ζεύγος)

Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F Matte White (pair)

The Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F floorstanding speaker improves on the award-winning best-selling Elipson Prestige Facet 14F by incorporating the brand's latest aesthetic and technical innovations. The cabinet benefits from structural reinforcements for increased rigidity and better driver control. The crossover has been completely redesigned for increased transparency and to exploit the full musicality of the 2.5-way architecture with dual 17 cm drivers and 25 mm tweeters. A signature of the range, a faceted crown surrounds the drivers to reduce diffraction and maximize linearity. The assurance of precise reproduction in hi-fi and home theater! 

A classic perfected

The Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F speakers retain the DNA of their predecessor while refining every point to deliver even more grandiose performance. The thick MDF cabinet thus benefits from a reinforced structure to best eliminate internal vibrations and resonances. In addition, the geometry of these internal reinforcements has been completely redesigned. Their new design has been meticulously studied to provide better mechanical support to the speakers, particularly at frequencies where the excursion of the cones exerts significant stress on the cabinet. The front panel is made of two materials of different densities and thicknesses to avoid any unwanted interference. This same front panel is also embellished with a satin finish, more understated and elegant to facilitate the integration of the speakers into any interior. The stands also gain in modernity while offering optimal decoupling. 

17 cm bass speaker 

The Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F floorstanding speaker retains the excellent acoustic design of its predecessor, with a 2.5-way architecture. This uses a large 17 cm diameter bass driver. It is equipped with a generously sized voice coil, which provides high power handling and guarantees maximum cooling during strong power increases. This driver is loaded with a bass-reflex with a long-profile flared vent allowing for low-frequency tuning. Thanks to this design, the Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F speaker is capable of delivering powerful and generous bass. 

Medium with central ogive 

The midrange/bass driver in the Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F is also a 17 cm diameter model. The rigid cone features a central metal cone. This improves control over the cone's movements to limit turbulence, which can cause distortion. It also absorbs unwanted vibrations and dissipates them, reducing noise and improving the accuracy of reproduction. The Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F speaker delivers very rich, well-textured, and very natural midrange.

Faceted crown

These speakers are combined with a 25 mm diameter soft dome tweeter. This model ensures excellent transient response and perfect control of high frequencies down to 25 Hz. Exclusive to the Elipson Prestige Facet II speaker range, a custom-cut synthetic rubber crown surrounds each speaker to limit the baffle effect and diffraction. The response curve is thus less disturbed, more linear, for a smoother listening experience.

Audiophile filter

To ensure lossless sound distribution, the Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F speaker benefits from a completely redesigned audiophile-grade passive crossover. This notably uses low-resistance inductors for a more energetic and impactful bass, while being better controlled. Polypropylene capacitors allow for greater richness in the high frequencies and metal film resistors ensure perfect separation. This redesign of the crossover allows for better channel decoupling, a smoother frequency response and a more coherent and natural soundstage. The wiring between this crossover and the loudspeakers is carried out using very high-purity 2.25 mm² oxygen-free copper conductors to ensure that every last musical information is preserved throughout the entire path. 

Like all speakers in the range, the Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F floorstanding speaker features a high-end dual terminal block compatible with bi-wiring and bi-amping. The contacts are silver-plated to maximize signal transmission and support banana plugs, spades, and heavy-gauge cables. 

The Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F floorstanding speaker is characterized by its neutrality and accuracy. Devoid of any coloration, it delivers its score without adding or subtracting anything from the original recording. Listening reveals a feeling of softness and serenity, each piece being reproduced faithfully, with control and without aggression. Designed with an audiophile approach, the Elipson Prestige Facet II 14F speaker is intended to be associated with any high-fidelity amplifier with a power less than or equal to 200 watts per channel. However, its rigorous behavior and dynamic qualities make it an excellent choice for a multi-channel home theater system in which it will effectively handle the reproduction of the front left and right channels.
