I now have two pairs of elipsons, orphee and colonne design. The colonne is quite impressive 5' tall 5" woofers with double magnet structures and sub in the bottom. The amount of clean bass they got out of these 5" woofers is quite amazing.

What else do people have from elipson, a little known french company.

Well, that is the problem I found. No one here knows much about them!

I had a pair of Elipson 1812 Arpege, and they were really good. I ended up matching them with a Pioneer SX-626, which was an awesome match for most forms of music. Excellent Jazz speakers.

Had a pair of Melodine MKII I think. Very nice drivers apart from the woofer who was suppose to be a SEAS
but this versin carried a ITT small magnet woofer.

Very nice with jazz but modest on bass listening to Enya or prog rock. DSCN1875.JPG DSCN1876.JPG DSCN2201.JPG

They really are very good, detail and bass are quite amazing. They originally sold in the $3500-4000 range in 1987.
 
Elipson has been making speakers for more than 50 years now, there's a few kicking around Canada not so much on the state's.
 
very nice! I just bought a used but in excellent condition pair of Elipson Orphée (I also love the Greek Mythology) for 350 $ CAD here in Québec +) new they were sold 2800 $ in Montréal back in 1991. smooth details nice musicality and excellent bass for their size!

this serie of Elipson names COLONNE with 3 models: Orphée, Circée and Design. the Circée is the least known and probably least sold of the 3. they use Vifa tweeters and Focal woofers. Focal is another big French Speaker brand.

Welcome to AK and for your first post! Do you have any pictures? The folks here love pictures.
 
Thank you!
I feel like a virgin with my first post XD
pics will come later as I'm writing now on a PC and my speakers' pics are all in my cellphone.

Hi, may I ask if you still have and enjoy Them after two years, especially the pair of Orphée? Thanks
 
I sold the orphee to a local friend who raves about them, he's gone on to purchase many other elipson models, he must have 5 other pairs of Elipsons by now. The collonne design is still with me I find them harder to get rid of.
 
yeah, I love my Oorphee but your Design must be more amazing and play deeper bass too. With one speaker inside at the bottom extra for the bass! WOW! I'M very happy with my Orphee.
Also I upgrade yesterday from a Yamaha Rx-v673 to an amazing Pioneer Elite SC-05 :) very good to power my Orphee for the next years.
