The best stereo speakers sound fantastic, but often along the way in the visual department; I know I would be hard to choose my bookshelf speakers out of a line-up and I am a working musician. So it’s always a pleasure to see speakers that look as good as they are meant to sound – like the new Stratton Acoustics element 6 and Element 8 speakers here.

The star here, apart from these encapsulations, are Stratton’s own, patented disconnected and wavelength -loaded 29 mm Soft Dome -Tweets. It is paired with a six -inch mid/low driver in element 6 and an eight -inch unit in the element 8, making the element 6 more suitable for smaller spaces or near -field listening positions.
The encapsulations have double-resistant harbor holes to reduce unwanted resonance from bass reflector, and are made with acrylic-silica reinforced polymermatrix-people with alleged resonant-reducing forces and aviation aluminum baffles.
According to Stratton, the combination of fences and baffles ensures “clean, transparent sound with a durable, luxurious finish that will last for decades to come.”
As for the stands, they are also precision machineed from aluminum in space. And Stratton makes great claims about their design: “Their sculptural form mirrors the juvenile -like detailed details of speakers’ front and rear baffles, with a flawless finish playing with light and reflection to striking effect, raising the whole system to the level of modern art.”
Stratton says these speakers “offer a visually arresting presence, premium materials, class-leading electro-acoustic design and technique that delivers a luxurious experience for both eyes and ears.” I’m sure they do it, though I unfortunately think it will last a long time before I can afford a couple.
The new Stratton Acoustics Element 6 and Element 8 are now available.
