Stratton Acoustics Element 6 and Element 8 – Acoustics with Patented Tweeters
24.04.2025 06:40 | ~1 minute read
Stratton Acoustics has introduced two models of compact bookshelf loudspeakers – Element 6 and Element 8. Both speakers use the company’s patented soft dome tweeters with a diameter of 29 mm, equipped with a waveguide to provide wide sound dispersion. The models are hand-assembled at the company’s own factory in England.
The loudspeaker cabinets of Stratton Acoustics Element 6 and Element 8 are made of acrylic-silicone polymer with aerospace-grade aluminum baffles processed on a CNC machine. Both loudspeakers use a bass-reflex acoustic design.
The Stratton Acoustics Element 6 loudspeakers are specially designed for small rooms or near-field listening. The mid- and low-frequency part of the working range is entrusted to a speaker with a conical diffuser made of carbon fiber with a diameter of 6”. The Stratton Acoustics Element 8 is larger and uses an 8” version of the same driver, with a carbon fibre cone designed to deliver more powerful bass. The cabinets are finished in a piano lacquer with silver flecks, with more finishes to follow soon. The Stratton Acoustics Element 6 is available in the UK for £15,000 per pair, while the Element 8 will set you back £20,000 per pair. The brand’s optional Element Stands, which are made from “aerospace-grade” aluminium, are available for £3,500 per pair.
