ELTIM Loudspeakers

We at ELTIM are technical audiophiles, so don't expect the known commercial bla, bla here. We simply try to build speakers with the highest possible audio experience at a reasonable price for over 40 years. We have idea's different from others and check in an audible way what happens with our feeling. Tears, smile, goosepimps, tapping? Then it works. We are not measuring till we drop dead and neither have the smoothest frequency graph; makes no sense since every room and even the position in it changes this as most of you already experienced. Your ears are "designed" to detect the phase coherence (= orientation) of sounds, so unlike about everybody else we focus on a flat phase response of our speakers, the more because this doesn't change with room space or location in it.

Interested in some techical stuff? Read the special document we made about how we do it differently.

Our cabinet shapes and dimensions have a reason. Ever heard of the mathematical number PHI (1,618, no not PI)?  Most of our cabinets are designed while using this "golden ratio" number about everywhere. Due to this the cabinet could have some different dimensions as you are used to and the drivers could be located on different positions as with others. Wirth our serial crossover design the location of them is way less critical compared to standard designs.They are located in a PHI specific location as all panel sizes and even positions of strengthening ribs and reflex ports are.The effective result is somewhat different than you are used to simply due to the lack of "lobes" (walk around your today's speakers and notice the difference in sound) caused by higher order parallel crossovers. With our philosophy there is hardly a "hot spot" where you have to sit fo optimal sound. One can notice this very easily by walking around or listen to the music anywhere in the house; the sound stays homogenous and "easy listening" everywhere, peculiar.

We design all our speakers ourselves and build them completely by hand (even the milling) in our own workshop. We use professional Topan MDF, having a neutral sound character, is easy to work with and is easy to paint as well, so higher quality at lower cost, the more since we do all in our own facilities. Due to the use of this material and the cabinet design we are even able to deliver your speakers "naked", meaning that the MDF is only treated with a glossy laquer, protecting it from moisture and dirt. There are no panel sides nor glued seams visible and we don't have to sand unflat surfaces. A speaker finished like that looks as a massive. glossy shining MDF pillar. All our prices are based on this finish. But, we can finish all of them any way you want in f.e. any RAL-colour in matt, semi- or high gloss or even use veneer or other cabinet and finishing material.  Just ask for it directly communicating with our designer Louis. Other speaker design ideas are also welcome.

All listed prices are for "naked" (like shown CA625) MDF speaker PAIRS, just finished with a glossy, scratch resistant laquer. Also veneer (like shown CA621) or foil (like E621) is possible.

Since we build them by hand completely we need to plan the work and build them. This will take 4-8 weeks, but then you have something unique -)   Sometimes we already have some in stock, or at least built the raw cabinets.
