Elipson BS50 Tribute Speakers (Pair)
Everything looked better in 1950/60's design. More flair, less conformity. Just think of the famous Stahl House in Los Angeles by Pierre Koenig from 1960, a Rockola 1448 jukebox from 1955, a Cadillac Eldorado from 1959 or the exquisite Bertoia Bird Chair produced by Knoll in 1952. If you're as obsessed with Mid-Century design as I am AND you're an audiophile, then you absolutely need to consider the @elipson BS50 Tribute, the homage to their iconic BS50 from 1953.
Description
The original BS50 (the name is an acronym for "Boule en Staff de 50cm de diameter") was created for the first "sound and light" shows of the Château de Chambord and enabled the precise broadcasting of sound. From the studios at the Maison de la Radio to the most demanding audiophile shows, it was an exceptional solution, combining form and function with an iconic design.
To celebrate The 70th anniversary of Elipson, the BS50 Tribute is a reissue of this legendary model made from contemporary materials while preserving the acoustic sound qualities that set the original model apart from its competitors. More than housing superior musicality, audiophiles and mid-century design lovers will be able to bring this design classic home for the first time in decades.
The shell-shaped acoustic reflector that overhangs the speaker concentrates the sound waves before returning them to the listener. The coaxial loudspeaker placed at the top offers excellent timbre consistency and seamless homogeneity of the dampers.
A spherical housing with an internal resonator limits the internal vibrations likely to generate artificial colorations. With a generous 200mm diameter, the bass response is particularly effective, as the Elipson BS50 Tribute can go down to 40 Hz. perfectly defined high frequencies up to 20 kHz. Sensitivity is 92db so the BS50 Tribute is driven with ease.
This beautiful but considered design ensures a homogeneous and precisely defined sound scene with exceptional scale. The BS50 perfectly illustrates the passion for sound and design that drives the brand's creations.
Bring some mid-century magic to your lounge or listening space with this design classic that will turn heads and wow your ears.
