Estelon Forza Anniversary Edition Loudspeakers Announced
Following its 10th anniversary upgraded Classic line, Estelon has announced an extremely limited edition of its Forza.
The Estelon Forza Anniversary Edition will be limited to just ten pairs, signifying the brand's 10th anniversary.
The Forza loudspeaker was launched last year and features technologies trickled-down from the flagship Extreme. The Anniversary Edition sports Black Pearl Gloss and Gold accents highlighting its elegant curves, presenting a truly luxurious finish. You also get their designer, Alfred Vassilkov's signature on the rear connector panel.
Aside from the fancy paintwork, the Estelon Forza is a 4-way design with a pair of custom-made 250 mm aluminium-sandwich woofers, a 190 mm aluminum-sandwich mid-woofer, a 168 mm ceramic membrane midrange driver, and a 25 mm diamond tweeter, designed and produced by the premium driver manufacturer, Accuton. This all adds up to a quoted frequency response of 25Hz-60kHz.
The Forza's unique shape is said to 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. Additionally, the 150 kg weight of each speaker gives both reactive and dynamic stability, We're told that this supports the acceleration and transient attack from the driver membranes and provides increased dynamics and micro-dynamic details in the sound.
The standard Estelon Forza retails for around €110,000, so you will probably need to add a bit to that. If you do fancy one of the ten pairs of the Forza Anniversary Edition, we are told to recommend that you get in touch with your local dealer/distributor.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
