Elac has expanded its centenary product programme with the Tube 100. The tube amplifier features HDMI ARC for direct television connection and is joined by the Baltic EL 100 loudspeaker. Both products are scheduled to reach specialist retailers in spring 2027.
The Tube 100 is designed to maintain a fully analogue signal path from its analogue input to the loudspeaker. Its connections include an integrated phono input, RCA inputs and loudspeaker terminals. Bluetooth supports streaming from a smartphone, and the amplifier can also be controlled using a television remote.
The amplifier has an aluminium enclosure with visibly exposed tubes. Its input selector displays the active source. The Tube 100 has an announced recommended retail price of €2,499.
The Baltic EL 100 draws its styling from studio loudspeakers of the 1980s, with a broad black front baffle and a dark wood-veneer finish. A gold-coloured fabric grille completes the exterior. Its announced price is €1,998 per pair. Elac entered loudspeaker manufacturing in the 1980s, when its range included the EL 55 and EL 105.
