A Floorstander Designed from the Ground UpDesigned from the ground up, the powerful Navis ARF-51 floorstanding speaker features ELAC concentric-driver technology to deliver unsurpassed mid-frequency and high-frequency performance, coupled with three of ELAC's custom 5-3/4-inch aluminum woofers for superlative bass, all in one slim, elegant tower. Each of the three transducers is powered by its own dedicated analog amplifier, with a selection of RCA or XLR balanced inputs. ELAC's Navis SeriesELAC’s new Navis Series answers every minimalist audiophile’s dream of a no-compromise powered speaker driven by best-in- class amplifiers that are truly deserving of the name “high end.” While most powered speakers rely on Class D digital designs, ELAC engineers build in 300 watts of pure analog amplification for maximum power and exceptional sound. Custom-Designed Midrange/TweeterOne reason the Navis sounds so natural is because of its in-house developed transducer, a 4-inch aluminum midrange driver with a concentrically mounted 1-inch soft-dome tweeter. Combined, this signature configuration lets Navis set the performance standard for its class. Custom-Designed WooferNavis’s single woofer reproduces bass with authority, thanks to the special design of its driver. Developed in-house, the 5-1⁄4-inch aluminum cone is the ideal structural material, specified for its ability to deliver slam, punch and accurate low-frequency fundamentals. The ARF-51 is armed with three of these woofers for formidable low bass impact. Beautiful CabinetsNavis’s elegant design integrates perfectly with any interior. Its enclosure has a fine-furniture finish, available in Gloss Black, Gloss White and Wood Veneer. A dedicated floor stand completes the installation and is recommended for optimum performance. Powerful TrifectaInside each Navis Florostanding Loudspeaker is a Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier employing three separate amps for each transducer: a 160-watt BASH AB amplifier for the woofer, a 100-watt BASH AB amplifier for the midrange, and a 40-watt Class AB amplifier for the tweeter. A total amplifier power of 300 watts ensures that each transducer is optimally and amply powered, eliminating clipping and crossover distortion, and driving each transducer with authority. Specs like a 110 dBA signal-to-noise ratio and 100 uV noise floor could only come from such audiophile-quality amps! Flexible ConnectionsLocal inputs include balanced XLR, RCA and Wireless, when used with ELAC’s Discovery Connect wireless transmitter to stream Discovery, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay and Roon. Just switch Wireless “Off” for a no-compromise analog input and output.
"I enjoyed almost everything about Elac’s Navis ARF-51. During my listening, the pair of them delivered musical refinement combined with visceral excitement. I also came to appreciate the upgradability that their analog design affords." "...I think the ARF-51s are a screaming bargain, especially when you consider that each speaker has built-in amplifiers with 300W total output." "Per Joni Mitchell, will I know what I’ve had when it’s gone -- when the time comes to send the ARF-51s back to their rightful owners? I won’t let that happen. I’m buying the review samples. You’ve just met my new reference speakers." - Gordon Brockhouse, SoundStage! Simplifi, September 1, 2019
