Estelon X Centro MkII Centre Channel Speakers
ESTELON X CENTRO MK II AND ESTELON X CENTRO DIAMOND MK II CENTRE CHANNEL SPEAKERS
The Estelon X Centro Mk II is intended to be used as a centre channel in multichannel music systems and home theatres.
Like its predecessor, the X Centro, the design was based on the XC model and is matched to the other Estelon products.
CERAMIC OR DIAMOND ACCUTON TWEETER
Offering two variants, the Estelon X Centro Mk II comes with a ceramic inverted dome tweeter, and the Estelon X Centro Diamond Mk II comes with a diamond tweeter, and like all X Series models, it uses high-quality drivers designed and produced by the German driver manufacturer Thiel & Partner GmbH (Accuton).
ACCUTON CERAMIC MID WOOFERS
The two 158 mm (7 inches) ceramic mid-woofers provide an exceptionally clean impulse response with extraordinarily low total harmonic distortion (THD) and intermodulation distortion (IMD). The ceramic 25 mm (1 inch) inverted dome alpha corundum tweeter keeps the distortion exceptionally low, and the first break-up modes are pushed out of the audible range, while the diamond 25 mm (1 inch) chemical vapour-deposited “diamond membrane” tweeter from Accuton can reproduce sounds up to 60 kHz, with no distortions in the human hearing range, claim Estelon.
ESTELON X CENTRO MKII CROSSOVER
The X Centro Mk II crossover is revised and it features new and improved resistors and capacitors that offer a wider dynamic range and greater transparency. The new internal cabling is provided by Kubala-Sosna. All filter components are connected directly, via point-to-point techniques, hand-soldered with high-quality silver solder, while using the shortest possible cable runs between drivers, crossover and binding posts.
ESTELON X CENTRO MKII BASE
The X Centro Mk II’s integrated stand has a base milled from thick billet aluminium. The base is then attached to an aluminium tube that secures the speaker. This construction is designed to give the speaker the necessary stability to eliminate vibrations.
ESTELON X CENTRO MKII PRICE
Estelon X Centro Mk II suggested retail price: EU: 15.000€, US: $18,000
Estelon X Centro Diamond Mk II suggested retail price: EU: 21.000€, US: $27,000
HiFi Pig Says: Estelon loudspeakers really are the high end of what is available, a surround system of their speakers would be sheer luxury.
