ELAC Announces Solano Line of Affordable Home Speakers

ELAC announced availability in North America of the brand's new Solano line of premium home speakers. These new models are a perfect solution for both 2-channel music enthusiasts or home theater configurations. With three affordable models, the ELAC Solano series includes the attractive BS 283 bookshelf, the attention-grabbing FS 287 floorstander, and the CC 281 center-speaker, all simple rectangular-shaped speakers, made with solid MDF, and paired with a slightly curved, large front baffle, that delivers an attractive look and feel.

Bass amplification specialist, Hartke (part of Samson Technologies) released the HyDrive HD Series Bass Cabinets, with four models featuring an enhanced version of Hartke’s patented HyDrive Speaker Technology of paper/aluminum hybrid cone drivers. The drivers feature outside curved, Kevlar-loaded paper cones with an inner straight, anodized aluminum section, now featuring a new double-roll, curvilinear surround that limits the drivers from over excursion, an updated ferrite magnet assembly and steel chassis design.
