Elipson Horus 11F Active BT

Elipson Horus 11F Active BT

Active 2.5-Way Floorstanding Speakers with HDMI ARC, Phono, USB Audio and aptX HD Bluetooth

The Elipson Horus 11F Active BT is a pair of active floorstanding speakers built for customers who want a proper stereo system without needing a separate amplifier. Elipson describes it as the active version of the Horus 11F, combining dual 130mm mid-bass drivers, a 25mm silk dome tweeter and a built-in 2 x 50W RMS amplifier in a clean floorstanding format.

This is a very practical speaker for music lovers and TV users because the connectivity is already built in. Elipson lists Phono MM, AUX, USB Audio, Optical, Coaxial, TV/ARC, Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD and a subwoofer output, which means the speakers can run a turntable, TV, computer and wireless streaming setup without a stack of extra boxes.

Active Stereo Simplicity

Real hi-fi without a separate amplifier

The big appeal of the Horus 11F Active BT is that it folds the amplifier into the speaker system itself. Elipson specifies a built-in stereo amplifier rated at 2 x 50W RMS, making the pair self-sufficient for everyday hi-fi and TV use.

• Simple two-channel systems
• TV sound upgrades
• Vinyl setups
• Desktop or lounge-room hi-fi systems
• Customers wanting fewer boxes in the room

2.5-Way Floorstanding Design

Proper scale from a slim cabinet

Elipson describes the Horus 11F Active BT as a 2.5-way floorstanding speaker. The design uses two 130mm mid-bass drivers made from cellulose pulp coated with fiberglass, plus a 25mm silk dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet.

• Better bass weight
• Fuller midrange
• More room-filling scale
• More natural stereo presentation from a floorstander format

Built-In Connectivity for Real-World Use

Turntable, TV, computer and Bluetooth all covered

Connectivity is one of the strongest parts of this speaker. Elipson lists the following inputs and outputs:

• Phono MM input for direct turntable connection
• AUX input for analogue sources
• USB Audio up to 24-bit / 96kHz
• Optical and Coaxial up to 24-bit / 192kHz
• TV / HDMI ARC
• Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD
• Subwoofer output at 150Hz / 12dB per octave

That is the sort of flexibility that makes these speakers easy to recommend. They cover most of the sources customers actually use every day.

TV and Vinyl Friendly

More useful than a lot of active speaker systems

A lot of active speakers cover streaming and not much else. The Horus 11F Active BT goes further by including both MM phono and HDMI ARC. That means it can sit in the same room and handle both a turntable and a television without extra fuss.

• Apartment lounge-room systems
• Music-first TV rooms
• Customers moving from a soundbar into real stereo
• Vinyl users wanting fewer boxes and simpler setup

Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD

Better wireless playback for everyday streaming

Elipson specifies Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, which gives the Horus 11F Active BT a stronger wireless feature set than many basic active speakers. It is designed to make day-to-day streaming from phones, tablets and computers simple while keeping sound quality respectable.

Subwoofer Output for System Expansion

Easy path to bigger bass

Elipson also includes a subwoofer output rated at 150Hz / 12dB per octave, so the system can be expanded if more bass is needed for movies, gaming or larger-room listening.

That is a useful touch because it means the speakers can start as a simple stereo pair and later become a more substantial 2.1 setup.

The Audio Experts Take

The Horus 11F Active BT makes a lot of sense for customers who want a proper stereo system without going through the usual separates path. Floorstanding scale, built-in amplification, TV ARC, phono and aptX HD Bluetooth make it a very easy speaker to place in real homes.

What stands out here is the balance. It covers vinyl, TV and streaming in one tidy package, but still keeps the look and feel of a genuine hi-fi floorstander rather than a lifestyle shortcut. For the right buyer, that is a very smart bit of kit.
