"Recommended" – Hi-Fi Choice
"Truly Three-Dimensional Soundscapes
The ELAC Line 260 BS 263 bookshelf speaker showcases the latest high-tech JET tweeter in a beautifully curved cabinet. The cabinet shape, which progressively enlarges toward the front baffle, contributes to the bass response, which is extraordinary for a bookshelf speaker.
The JET tweeter has made high-end history. The meticulously folded membrane structure inspired by Oskar Heil is considered one of the fastest, most refined, and detailed tweeters available anywhere today. An Elac exclusive, the JET tweeter is currently in its fifth generation of upgraded development.
The BS 263 won "Recommended" honors from England's Hi-Fi Choice magazine. "The sense of space the speaker is capable of generating, doesn't just exceed the boundaries of its bijou cabinet but also the walls of my modestly sized listening room," notes David Vivian. "And it isn’t just a width thing. Soundscapes are truly three-dimensional and the speaker magically dissolves into them."
JET Folded Ribbon Tweeter
Delivering true high-definition sound, ELAC’s JET tweeter enthralls with its lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion, lots of headroom and a wide frequency range. The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the industry and has won international praise with its transparent and effortless sound image.
Aluminum-Sandwich "Crystal Cone" Drivers
The striking AS-XR cone driver with its faceted appearance creates an instantly impressive look that's matched by the driver's performance. The 6" mid/bass cone is built from a "sandwich" of paper and aluminum. The unique "crystal" cone geometry adds rigidity to help the lightweight cone respond quickly while maintaining its shape.
All ELAC drivers are constructed and designed inhouse using van den Hul internal wiring as well as a crossover network that boasts big air-foil capacitors and core coils from outside providers.
