ELAC Vela FS 409 3.5-Way Floorstanding Speaker (Gloss Black, Single)

The ELAC VFS409-GB is a 3.5-way floorstanding speaker that brings studio-level clarity and scale to a living room or dedicated listening space. Finished in gloss black, it blends easily with modern interiors while drawing just enough visual attention to hint at the performance inside.

At the top of the cabinet sits the hand-assembled JET 5 folded-ribbon tweeter, a driver known among audiophiles for precise, smooth highs that stay comfortable during long listening sessions. A 5.9-inch mid-woofer carries vocals and instruments with natural weight, and two 7.1-inch woofers extend the response down to 28 Hz, delivering bass lines and movie effects that feel grounded and complete. Together, this array covers a wide 28 Hz to 50 kHz frequency range with 89 dB sensitivity, so it can reach convincing volume without strain when paired with a quality amplifier.

A down-firing bass port allows flexible placement, even closer to a wall than front-ported designs usually permit. The cabinet’s trapezoid form helps break up standing waves and unwanted resonances, preserving detail in complex passages. Bi-wiring and bi-amping terminals let experienced users fine-tune the speaker with separate amplifier channels if desired, yet the speaker also performs confidently with a single high-current stereo amp.

Whether you are building a two-channel system for vinyl and high-resolution streaming, or anchoring the front stage of a home theater, the Vela FS 409 adapts easily. One speaker is supplied, so listeners can start with a single unit for an upgrade path or purchase a pair for full stereo performance.

Owners who value both craftsmanship and everyday usability will appreciate the combination of German engineering, practical placement options, and the refined gloss black finish that wipes clean after routine dusting.
