Estonian loudspeaker company, Estelon has unveiled its Forza Anniversary Edition loudspeaker to mark the company’s 10th year in business.
The Forza Anniversary Edition is based on the Estelon Forza, which was introduced in 2019 and has since received several awards.
Utilising technologies that has trickled down from the company’s ultimate flagship model, the Extreme, the Forza Anniversary Edition is limited to just 10 pairs, making this loudspeaker a true collector’s item.
It features a combination of Black Gloss and Gold accents which highlights the speaker’s curves. The connectors’ panel also features the signature of designer, Alfred Vassilkov.
Each speaker features a four-way design with two woofers, one mid-woofer, one midrange driver and one tweeter designed and produced by premium driver manufacturer, Accuton. The two custom-made 11-in aluminium-sandwich woofers can reproduce deep and accurate bass, while the eight-inch aluminium-sandwich mid-woofer allows for fast and impactful upper bass.
The seven-inch ceramic membrane midrange driver is ultra-light and stiff to allow critical mid-frequencies to be played without colouration or distortion while also having a linear response. Also found in the dashboard of the Bugatti Chiron supercar, the one-inch diamond tweeter can reproduce sounds at the highest frequencies, up to 60kHz with no distortion.
While elegant in design aesthetically, the curvature shape of the speaker cabinets also eliminate the effects of reflective diffraction, while the frequency characteristics of the dispersion remain straight and linear not only in front of the loudspeaker but also at various angles which also widens the ideal listening position.
Cabinet vibrations are also eliminated thanks to the combination of the curved cabinet walls and specific interior chambers, meaning the audio signal only comes from the driver elements.
Weighing a staggering 150kg, each speaker has both reactive and dynamic stability, supporting the acceleration and transient attack from the driver membranes and provides increased dynamics and micro-dynamic details in the sound.
The limited Anniversary Edition is available now priced at €135,000 / $169,000 per pair.
