Elipson, France’s oldest hi-fi brand, has made waves in the audio world with its Horus speaker range, a versatile and budget-friendly lineup designed for both music lovers and home theater aficionados. Combining modern design, advanced acoustics, and competitive pricing, the Horus series has evolved significantly since its debut, with recent additions that enhance its appeal for audiophiles seeking quality without breaking the bank.
A Comprehensive Lineup for Every Setup
First introduced at the 2022 Paris Audio Video Show, the Horus range includes bookshelf, floorstanding, center channel, and subwoofer models, offering flexibility for stereo and multi-channel home cinema systems. The lineup comprises:

Priced at £299/€349 per pair, they deliver impressive performance for their size, ideal for small rooms or as part of a surround setup.
-
Horus 11F Floorstanding Speakers: These 2.5-way bass-reflex towers, standing at 85cm (87.5cm with plinth), incorporate two 130mm mid-bass drivers and a 25mm tweeter. Priced at £750/€849 per pair, their front-firing bass ports ensure easy placement in any room.

New Active BT Models: Simplified High-Fidelity
In August 2025, Elipson expanded the Horus range with two active models: the Horus 6B Active BT (£399) and Horus 11F Active BT (£899, available October 2025). These speakers integrate 2 x 50W RMS amplification, eliminating the need for an external amplifier or DAC. With connectivity options like USB for computers, MM phono input for turntables, HDMI ARC for TVs, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, these models cater to modern listening habits, from vinyl playback to wireless streaming.
The active models retain the same high-quality drivers as their passive counterparts—cellulose pulp mid-bass drivers with glass fiber reinforcement and silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets—promising “natural, accurate, and detailed” sound. Their bass-reflex design enhances low-end performance, and the minimalist aesthetic, available in Black Carbon, Light Wood Beige, or Walnut Dark Grey, ensures seamless integration into any living space.
Performance and Design: A Winning Combination
Elipson’s Horus range is built on decades of acoustic expertise, drawing from the company’s acclaimed Prestige, Facet, and Heritage lines. The use of consistent driver materials across the range ensures tonal cohesion, making it ideal for multi-channel setups. The front-firing bass ports allow for flexible placement, even in smaller rooms, while the sleek, two-tone design adds a modern touch to classic hi-fi aesthetics.
Pricing and Availability
The Horus range is available now through retailers like Son-Vidéo.com and Avoke, with the Horus 8S subwoofer and Horus 11F Active BT set for release in April and October 2025, respectively. With prices starting at £299, the Horus series offers an unbeatable price-to-performance ratio, making Elipson’s signature sound accessible to a wider audience.
Conclusion
Elipson’s Horus speaker range blends affordability, versatility, and audiophile-grade performance, making it a compelling choice for both hi-fi enthusiasts and home cinema fans. The addition of active BT models further simplifies high-fidelity audio, catering to modern lifestyles without compromising on quality. As Elipson continues to innovate, the Horus range stands as a testament to the brand’s legacy of delivering exceptional sound at accessible prices.
