Elipson’s compact powered pair excels at expansive soundstaging, locking instruments into a deep, open image with crisp detail and agile transients. SoundStage Solo also found its lively presentation impressively revealing, while aptX Bluetooth, a quiet phono stage and optical input make this a versatile all-in-one system for music, TV and small rooms.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Wide, deep and highly precise imaging lets instruments and effects occupy clearly defined positions.
Transparent, detailed sound with fast transients and expressive handling of piano and vocal nuance.
Well-equipped powered design: Bluetooth, switchable phono input, optical input and subwoofer output; the phono stage was notably quiet.
Inert, internally braced cabinets and superior fit and finish versus the compared Triangle system.
&
Cons
Deep bass has limited weight: low double-bass notes can sound faint and large drums lack body.
Lively upper registers can turn steely, sizzly or strident at higher volumes, especially on demanding material.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 86/100
Reviewers found an exceptionally spacious, precise presentation with very good transparency and detail. Its lively voicing brings real clarity and excitement, although the upper registers can become edgy at high volume and the deepest bass is modest.
Bass
82/100
For a compact 140mm two-way, bass was controlled and less boomy than the SVS comparison system, with convincing transients and decay. However, the lowest double-bass notes were faint and large kettle drums lacked some expected weight and body.
Mid
86/100
Voices and instruments were generally described as convincing, expressive, and revealing of fine vocal nuance. Dialogue was also reported as notably clear, though one reviewer heard breathiness, rasp, and sibilants rendered with a little too much emphasis.
Treble
82/100
The top end offers strong presence and appealing metallic clarity on cymbals. Still, the main review repeatedly noted a steely or sizzly edge, with some upper-midrange notes becoming hard or nearly piercing, especially when played loudly.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
This is a major strength. Reviewers heard a wide, deep, and unusually transparent stage, with instruments precisely locked in place and the speakers effectively disappearing from the presentation. A second review likewise praised the wider, deeper stage and more exact localisation of effects and instruments.
Dynamics
88/100
The system was praised for fast transients, satisfying decays, and its ability to follow both delicate piano phrasing and more animated runs. It remains more comfortable at sensible listening levels, as pushing toward concert-hall volume made the presentation strident.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
90/100
The internally braced 0.7-inch MDF cabinets were found to be impressively inert in a knuckle test. The reviewer also considered the fit and finish noticeably nicer than that of the Triangle system used for comparison.
Value for Money
91/100
At $699, the review calls the value proposition compelling and describes the system as a great starter system for many listeners. In the powered-speaker market, its integrated amplification, phono input, Bluetooth, optical input, and subwoofer output make it a particularly complete alternative to assembling separate components.
