HiFi News
Fanthorpes HiFi is delighted to announce the addition of ELAC Speakers to our product lineup
ELAC, a venerable name in the world of audio manufacturing, boasts a rich history dating back to September 1st, 1926, when Electroacoustic GmbH was founded in Kiel, Germany. Initially dedicated to researching sound transmission in air and water, as well as the development of sonar technology, ELAC gradually expanded its horizons.
In 1948, ELAC took its first steps into the world of consumer audio with the introduction of the PW-1 record player, marking the company's entry into the realm of music. From that point on, ELAC steadily built a stellar reputation in the audio industry, with a particular focus on pioneering turntable technology and other electronics. This strategy proved highly successful in the 1970s and 1980s, as discerning music enthusiasts were eager to invest in top-tier turntables.
Throughout its storied history, ELAC consistently occupied a leading position in the realm of music electronics, offering cutting-edge technology, uncompromising sound quality, and exceptional design. ELAC speakers have consistently garnered popularity among consumers for their outstanding value for money and extensive product offerings.
Today, ELAC boasts an extensive range of speakers and audio electronics, delivering on its promise of breathtaking performance, exquisite craftsmanship, and unparalleled value—all while maintaining the unmistakable ELAC style. These products are poised to elevate your home audio setup to new heights.
In 2016, ELAC celebrated its 90th anniversary by introducing the Discovery Music Server, Debut and Uni-Fi speaker series, and the Miracord 90 Anniversary turntable. This milestone firmly established ELAC as a future-proof audio solution provider.
We're thrilled to showcase the ELAC Vela range in our Hull showroom, with more models and ranges set to follow.
The ELAC Vela series boasts a sophisticated design, featuring high-class lacquered and wooden veneered cabinets with a distinctive trapezoidal shape and rearward angle. This design not only catches the eye but also enhances acoustics. The sound quality of the Vela series inherits the excellence of the successful series 400, with notable advancements. The angled cabinet, combined with the new wave-guide of the JET tweeter, enhances stereo and multi-channel audio definition in modern home settings. However, the improvements go beyond the obvious; optimized drivers deliver precise reproduction of high-energy transients.
ELAC Vela Range:
We look forward to introducing you to the world of ELAC Speakers and helping you find the perfect audio solution for your needs.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
