Curious to know what brand these speakers are if anyone can help identifying them. Having never heard how they actually sound, I must admit their looks are stunning.

I could hear the Estelon loudspeakers at High End 2019.

There was a lot of classical music going on and the seducer had a fable for Ennio Morricone.

And it sounded INCREDIBLY good!

Driven by Vitus Audio amplifiers i think.

So natural and far.
Great resolution!

And the speakers are real sculptures!

Breathtaking!

Best regards

Most of us care about the sound first and foremost but I must say, having the speakers be attractive like artwork that is beautiful to look at and appreciate only adds to the experience.

I can certainly relate to that:

Hi Elliot,

you are absolutely right.
My mistake, sorry for that.

I had the High End 2018 in mind (see picture below).
Those are the one I'm talking about.

I found the 2018 demonstration even better than in 2019.

best regards

The Estelon reference speakers are indeed beautiful, and on top of everything else, with a remote the entire upper section moves up and down to adjust for listening distance, room, etc. I am 'guessing' similar to Wilson's manual adjustments to the upper modules and Focal's Grande Utopia which has a hand crank that moves all of the upper modules in a uniformed pattern for dispersion.

I was very impressed with many of the elements of its clarity, balance and ability to display a reasonable amount of tonal nuance and detail. For those who just must have it all, where I stopped the 'all out assault' label is when I turned it up (in a reasonable sized room and loud...30' x 25' x 11'?)...relative to other big speakers like big Wilsons, Focal Grande Utopia (let alone Genesis 1 or Arrakis)...it started to struggle rapidly, and the 'decline' of the structure of the sound when I turned the knob was a test I admit to not being fully satisfied by.

This was at a launch, and I know sometimes these things get worked out in subsequent 'silent upgrades', etc...but that is one area where I would say it fell slightly short of that all-out reference moniker. Otherwise, I really, really enjoyed listening to it.

Would love to hear some of their more affordable entry level speakers someday...
