Estelon YB
Recently been looking at a few 2 way speakers - YG Carmel and Kharma S7S but wondering if anyone had auditioned the Estelons in particular the YB? Any input will be great. Thanks.

Re: Estelon YB
I have heard only the Forzas. Alfred Vassilkov demonstrated them for me at Estelon’s headquarters in Tallinn, Estonia. They were extraordinary in definition, soundstage, dynamism, etc. Unfortunately, they are also very, very expensive. The YB speaker is at the other end of the spectrum, and so compromises were obviously made in its design, construction, and materials. Hopefully, the basic architectural philosophy developed by Alfred was retained. If so, then they are certainly worth consideration.
