Stratton Acoustics has expanded its Element Series by unveiling two new loudspeakers at AXPONA 2025. The high-end manufacturer introduced the Element 6 and Element 8 models, shrinking the form while preserving the fidelity that defines its larger loudspeakers. They bring that same sonic precision and luxury craftsmanship to a more compact, design-led format.

Positioned as smaller siblings to the flagship Element 12 and Elypsis 1512, the new models maintain the same artisan approach, combining performance-focused engineering with visually arresting forms. Both designs feature Stratton’s patented 29mm soft dome tweeter, decoupled and waveguide-loaded for wide dispersion and accurate imaging, housed in an acrylic-silica polymer matrix enclosure with CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminium baffles.

The Element 6 is tailored for smaller rooms or nearfield listening. It is centred around a 6-inch carbon-fibre bass/midrange driver. It promises a refined, balanced performance housed in an enclosure engineered to minimise resonance and maximise clarity. Despite its modest footprint, Stratton says the Element 6 delivers a high-fidelity experience with musical coherence and design appeal.

Stepping up in scale, the Element 8 employs an 8-inch version of the same carbon-fibre driver, designed for a more authoritative low-end response. Its reflex-loaded cabinet architecture includes dual resistive port vents, which were developed to suppress pipe resonance and eliminate port colouration, enabling fast, tuneful bass without compromise. According to Stratton, the Element 8 is ideal for larger spaces where greater dynamic range and deeper extension are desired without sacrificing the brand’s hallmark clarity.

To match the new loudspeakers, Stratton has also introduced dedicated Element Stands. The stands are engineered from aerospace-grade aluminium for rigidity, stability, and vibration control while visually echoing the speakers’ sculptural aesthetic. Designed to minimise floor-borne interference, they help preserve fine detail and stereo imaging.

All models are handmade in the UK by Stratton’s team of artisan builders. The Element 6 and 8 are finished in a high-gloss piano white lacquer with silver baffles, and additional finishes are on the way. Founder David Fowler, commenting on the creation of the new speakers, said: 

These new models encapsulate our passion for designing speakers that don’t just sound beautiful but are beautiful. The Element 6 and Element 8 are compact, yes, but uncompromising. They’re built for music lovers who want to experience the passion in music, but who also value precision engineering, as well as timeless beauty.

The Stratton Acoustics Element 6 is priced at £15,000 per pair, while the Element 8 is £20,000 per pair. The matching Element Stands are available separately at £3,500 directly by Stratton Acoustics in the UK.
