While we love being treated to a big, booming and bank-busting pair of high-end speakers here at What Hi-Fi?, we’re often equally enamoured with those models that can provide as much entertainment as possible on a budget. Hi-fi should be for the many, not just the few, as the likes of the Elac Debut B5.2 and Dali Oberon 1 both amply demonstrate.
The Elipson Horus 6B are the latest standmounts looking to add their names to the pantheon of budget bargains that can punch well above their weight. The French speakers retail in the UK for £349, though given that you could pick up a pair of the five-star Q Acoustics 3020i for £100 less, the Elipsons are going to have to offer something special to truly earn our full recommendation. The Horus 6B certainly have a name fit for the Egyptian gods, but is their sound utterly divine or just a desert mirage?
