Danish audio manufacturer Vestlyd has expanded its active speaker range with the new M6C Active model.

The speakers can be used for listening to music, reproducing TV sound, working with a computer, connecting a turntable or integrating equipment in a home studio.

Cambridge Audio has announced the global launch of its flagship L/R X active speaker system, which made its debut earlier this year at CES in Las Vegas.

The new speakers are scheduled to go on sale in August.

Kanto Audio has introduced the Tuk Grand active speaker system, the most advanced model in the brand’s current catalogue. With this new release, the manufacturer is clearly aiming to move beyond its familiar niche of compact desktop and lifestyle solutions. Tuk Grand builds on the ideas behind the original Tuk platform, but does so in a larger format: the speakers feature an enlarged cabinet, increased internal volume and a reworked acoustic architecture designed for more confident low-frequency reproduction, a larger-scale soundstage and a more mature presentation.

Avantgarde Acoustic has introduced the Avantgarde Opus 1 loudspeaker system. The new model is conceived as a more accessible entry point into the brand’s signature horn-loaded concept, while retaining the key Avantgarde traits: expressive design, high efficiency, active architecture and the company’s characteristic dynamic presentation.

AKu Audio has announced the launch of ONAR, a fully active midfield loudspeaker system aimed at recording professionals and audiophiles who value precision, neutrality and expressive design. The name ONAR translates from Ancient Greek as “dream”, which reflects the developers’ ambition to create a system capable of combining studio-grade sonic accuracy with the aesthetics of premium home audio.

Harbeth has introduced its new Harbeth NLE-3 loudspeaker system.

In this configuration, each driver is served by a dedicated amplification channel.

German company Econik has introduced the active loudspeaker system Econik 1851 – a two-way model with an unusual suspended design and an enclosure made from quartz sand. For a brand that only began releasing its first loudspeaker systems in 2023, the new model marks a noticeable step toward a more experimental design language and a less conventional engineering philosophy.

Legacy Audio unveiled the new TALOS floorstanding loudspeakers at AXPONA 2026 in Chicago, adding them to its flagship Masters Collection series.

The British loudspeaker manufacturer ATC unveiled the active three-way loudspeaker system ATC EL50 Anniversary at the Bristol HiFi Show 2026. The model will be released in a limited edition. According to ATC, the ATC EL50 Anniversary is based on the company’s legendary 50 platform. The new model continues the brand’s discrete active multi-amplified concept, tracing back to models such as the SCM50 Anniversary and the SE series. The industrial design references the ATC EL150 with its elliptical enclosure, originally developed by company founder Bill Woodman.
