Elipson Prestige Facet 14F Floorstanding Speakers Black/Walnut

Elipson reinvents its Prestige speakers

The Elipson Prestige speakers have gained a solid reputation since their first release in 1975. In 2016, the range’s sound signature was entirely revamped to adhere to a single guiding principle: musicality! The outstanding effort our teams made while developing the Prestige Facet earned them unanimous praise from members of the specialized press. The magazine Diapason gave its highest score to the Prestige Facet 8B compact speaker. Classica also selected this model as the best in its category and deemed it worthy of the magazine’s highest award.

The Elipson Prestige Facet 14F speaker introduces a host of innovative technologies. The most visible is undeniably the ring of sculpted facets surrounding each driver, which gives the range its name. A rigorous design process ensures optimal acoustic performance, while an elegant finish allows the speaker to blend in harmoniously with your interior decor. 

The Prestige Facet 14F is available in black, walnut and white. Signs of a high-quality finish include a double-layer front panel to which a black or white lacquer is applied. This floor-standing speaker is equipped with a bass driver and a 17 cm mid-low driver. The latter is fitted with a bullet-shaped phase plug to limit vibrations and, consequently, reduce distortion. A 25 mm soft dome tweeter reproduces highs with finesse and precision. The multifaceted, sculpted silicone surround rings encircling each driver reduce the baffle effect and limit diffractions. The result is a more linear response curve and a smoother listening experience.

Extra attention has been paid to the speaker's cabinet. The lacquered front panel is composed of two dense, thick materials and strengthened by several internal brackets. The speaker's steep-slope filter relies on highly efficient, audiophile-grade components. As for the finish quality, it is not overlooked and offers benefits such as premium-quality vinyl and a lacquered front panel.

At Elipson, the back counts as much as the front. That is why our designers have created rounded, high-end dual speaker terminals which offer the possibility of bi-wiring and bi-amplifying while benefiting from silver-plated contacts to maximize signal transmission. Banana plugs may also be connected to the terminals.

Neutral and accurate, this speaker delivers sound which is free from colouration and faithful to the original recording. Impressions of smoothness and serenity emanate from each track as it is masterfully reproduced, without any hint of harshness. 

The Prestige Facet 14F's high sensitivity allows it to be paired with any amplifier with a power rating of 150 W or less per channel. Its lively performance makes it an excellent left or right front channel speaker for a multichannel home cinema installation.
