It's exciting for us to have a new, British designed and built loudspeaker range, our photographs are of the Aspara HL6.

We're valve enthusiasts so it's particularly satisfying to be able to demonstrate speakers that are suitable for low power amplification yet are also domestically acceptable. Having said that, the Aspara HL1 and Reference models probably need rather more 'understanding' partners!

There's some history behind these new designs. Brian Taylor of Aspara has been experimenting with horn loudspeakers since the 1970’s when he introduced the Impulse horn loudspeaker range. These were relatively compact compared to earlier horn designs and also low in colouration. However, further research and advanced components have led to development of the Aspara horns. The speakers in this new range are significantly more sensitive than the earlier Impulse designs and are therefore ideal for use with the very high quality, low powered amplifiers now favoured by the most discerning music lovers.

Aspara prices range from;

£ 2,850  - Model HL2
£ 4,200  - Model HL6
£ 7,999  - Model HL1
£14,999 - Model HL Reference
