Sphinx Element 3 Receives Hi-Fi Choice Recommended Award

The Sphinx Element 3 has been honoured with the Recommended Award by Hi-Fi Choice in its February 2026 issue.

Featured as part of the magazine’s Choice Exotica section, the Element 3 was recognised not only for its distinctive sculptural design, but for its bold engineering approach and commanding musical performance.

Bold Design. Serious Performance.

In the review, Hi-Fi Choice explores the Element 3’s unconventional architecture: from its Zero Gravity™ Bass system and modified transmission-line loading to the PAC™ Hybrid Crossover Network and powered passive-active concept.

What initially appears unusual quickly gives way to admiration in listening tests. The review highlights the speaker’s scale, authority and composure, noting how its bass performance underpins focused imaging and an expansive soundstage. Across genres, from orchestral works to rock and contemporary recordings, the Element 3 was praised for delivering music with weight, insight and dynamic ease.

Hi-Fi Choice’s verdict captures the spirit of the design perfectly: unconventional in concept, but spectacular in execution, a loudspeaker that confidently breaks from tradition and rewards the listener.

The award badge further confirms the Element 3’s position among the most distinctive high-end loudspeakers currently available.

We would like to sincerely thank Steve Sutherland and the entire Hi-Fi Choice team for their thoughtful review and for recognising the Element 3 with this Recommended Award.
