I listened to the Zellaton Reference speakers this past week, just outside of Toronto at the Boutique Audio Gallery — website: boutique.audio

The Zellatons were powered by numerous amplifier brands. It was fortuitous to swap them out at will: JMF, Alieno, Engstrom and SPEC.

It also wasn't too shabby that I was able to compare (A/B) to the YG XX speakers that were also on hand.

Photos of the Zellatons from different angles. I had a real blast up North, so much so that I'll be heading back.

Wow...unusual opportunity indeed! Any listening notes on what you heard...how the speakers reacted to the different amps? And any comparison of the YG XX and the Zellatons?

Hi Steve

Those Zellatons up in Canada were/are Reference Ultras, as I believe the Reference Klassik possess silver/metallic colored drivers, and the ones in my photos have dark drivers. The finish was/is custom, identical to the pair Zellaton debuted at Munich in 2024.

I trust this sufficiently answers your question.

Exotic combination, when appropriate, I'd like to see a picture. #norush

 

[Steve williams]

you are correct....

Here is the Reference Mk ll Klassik

Zellaton - Reference Mk II

here is the Reference Ultra

Zellaton - REFERENCE ULTRA

tweeter size is different as is sensitivity

From what I understand the crossovers are also different. Cabinet dimensions are identical as is weight

 

[Steve williams]

I think this Reference Ultra speaker is Porsche Aventurine Green with Chrome rings --identical to what I ordered

Very impressive! Stunningly beautiful...I love your choice of color Steve...
