Product Description

The Estelon AURA loudspeaker is designed and constructed by taking into consideration the environmental acoustics of real-life listening spaces. It provides an immersive and captivating audio experience like no other among speakers of this size. To achieve this, AURA has been designed with meticulous attention to detail, incorporating cutting-edge technology and unique features that set it apart from other loudspeakers in the market.

The new era for Estelon is here with an innovative design that brings an unparalleled audio experience

The AURA is more than just a loudspeaker; it’s a work of art that combines form and function to provide an unparalleled audio experience. With its unique design and advanced technology, Estelon AURA loudspeaker is sure to be a game-changer in the audio world.

The Estelon AURA loudspeakers use a sealed box concept, which is more compact compared to the bass reflex concept and is less demanding regarding the positioning requirements in a room.

One of the standout features of the AURA is its distinctive shape, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also serves a functional purpose. The use of a thermoformed proprietary mineral-filled composite allows the AURA cabinet development with such advanced surface geometry, inside and out. The purposeful shape, and various internal chambers, resulting in characteristics that allow for ideal acoustical properties. The cabinet is extremely rigid, highly dense, resonant-free, and with exceptional internal dampening and acoustical control.

The 26mm (1”) Scan-Speak ‘Illuminator’ Textile Dome tweeter has a symmetrical drive motor for outstanding sound quality and linearity, regardless if the music is reproduced at high or low volume levels. The tweeter waveguide makes the sound dispersion of the tweeter more uniform, and it pairs with the mid-woofer drivers for a pure and uninfluenced sound.

The 130mm (5”) mid-woofer by Satori is using a proprietary Egyptian Papyrus Cone for achieving transparency and effortless delivery of the sound. The vented aerodynamic cast aluminium chassis provides optimum strength and low compression. The driver features a soft, low-dampening rubber surround for optimum transient response, and its neodymium motor system is optimized for low distortion. The silver lead wires are attached 180° apart for improved stability.

Estelon AURA loudspeaker’s innovative design allows the incorporation of a powerful 10″ woofer in the base of the loudspeaker (down-firing), for a rich and smooth bass reproduction. The 250mm (10”) Faital woofer provides articulate, deep-bass. It has a semi-pressed paper cone that provides clean and tight low frequencies. The woofer has an accurate, effortless bass sound. The curved base plate enables the bottom firing woofer to acoustically couple with the floor.

The acoustical environment created in the base of the Estelon AURA loudspeaker provides an additional low-pass filter. This low-pass curve is deeper than the electrical filter, therefore the higher frequencies that are produced by the bass driver, at around 80Hz, are eliminated. The wide and coherent soundstage along with the depth and focus give the impression to the listener that they are always in the sweet spot, regardless of their position in the room.

One of the best things about the audiophile hobby is the diversity of designers and equipment manufacturers. Having owned a major home theater publication in my somewhat recent past, I can tell you that only a few companies make a good AV preamp, a commendable high-performance AV receiver, or even a suitable 4K UHD TV. In the audiophile world, there are many great companies making kickass gear, ranging from cheap yet powerful Chi-Fi electronics to Swiss-made cost-no-object gear and everything in between. One of my favorite brands that has risen to more and more prominence in the audiophile world is Estelon. They make sexy-as-hell audiophile speakers in Estonia, and they’ve married gorgeous looks with powerful sonics.

The Estelon AURA is their entry-level floorstanding audiophile loudspeaker. Priced at $19,900 (a little more for some more fancy, or custom, paint options), these speakers come in at a pretty significant cost, but haven’t left the world of financial reality, as you will see with others in the very high-end audio floorstanding speaker world. The Estelon AURA speakers use drivers from some of the most respected makers of transducers or raw speaker drivers. The AURA loudspeaker is also loaded with a 10-inch driver in the bottom of the sealed-box design, which allows very respectable bass from a thin, elegant and modern form factor. Having had comparably-priced speakers from Stenheim, as well as Bowers & Wilkins, the question begs to be asked: Are the Estelon AURA speakers just a pretty face, or can they hang with the best of the best? That’s what we are here to explore.
