The XLS 15&#8217;s large 30cm woofer and the XLS 11&#8217;s 21cm woofer give way to a 16.5cm mid\/bass driver here. The composition of the cellulose fiber from which the diffuser is made has remained unchanged. A light and rigid cone capable of moving air efficiently and quickly, coupled with a powerful magnet system, allows the Elipson Heritage XLS 7 speakers to reproduce bass from 49 Hz.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/39_techweek.webp\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news__content\" data-v-b1286792=\"\">\n<div data-v-b1286792=\"\">\n<p>The Elipson Heritage XLS 7 inherited the 22 mm silk dome tweeter from the older models, which is also used in the French manufacturer&#8217;s Prestige Facet series.\u00a0The driver provides excellent transient response as well as perfect treble control down to 25 kHz.\u00a0Like many vintage acoustic models, the Elipson Heritage XLS 7 monitors have the ability to adjust the return in the high-frequency spectrum &#8211; there is a potentiometer on the front of the speaker that allows you to adjust the frequency response at HF \u200b\u200bwithin +\/- 2 dB.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/40_techweek.webp\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new Elipson Heritage XLS 7\u00a0bookshelf speakers\u00a0are now available for pre-order in Europe for a suggested retail price of\u00a0\u20ac799\u00a0\/pair.\u00a0Deliveries are scheduled for October 2023.<\/p>\n<p>[ratemypost]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the success of the XLS 15 and XLS 11 loudspeakers, French company\u00a0Elipson continues to expand its\u00a0Elipson Heritage\u00a0series with\u00a0the Elipson Heritage XLS 7,\u00a0a compact bookshelf model\u00a0.\u00a0The speakers are made in the same vintage design as the rest of the series, but are significantly more compact, which makes it easy to fit them even into small [&hellip;] <a class=\"g1-link g1-link-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/speakers\/elipson-heritage-xls-7-compact-retro-speakers-from-france\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10404,"featured_media":164489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[646],"tags":[779],"class_list":{"0":"post-164482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-speakers","8":"tag-news"},"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
