so that the audio signal remains pure within a realistic sound stage. For 

this reason, the left and right speakers are in a mirror-like position. 

In difficult acoustic conditions (very small rooms or when walls 

are  too  close)  we  suggest  trying  to  use  the  speakers  in  opposite 

positions (L <-> R) so that the woofers are facing opposite directions. 

Please  contact  your  dealer  for  consultation  on  how  to 

improve  your room acoustics. 

 

4.2. Installing the spikes 

 

Depending on the type of floor in the listening room, there are 

2  options  for  the  stabilization  of  the  speaker.  The  Estelon  YB  Mk  II  is 

shipped with the metal bases preinstalled on the base of the speakers 

which are ideal for hard surfaces. 

For carpeted floors replace the metal bases with the spikes in 

order  to  pierce  through  the  carpet  to  the  hard  flooring  underneath. 

Please replace the metal bases on one side of each loudspeaker at a 

time

 following the instructions described below and as shown in the 

drawings: 

 

1.

 

One person should carefully tilt the speaker against himself/herself 

and  hold  it  in  this  position  (drawing  7),  while  the  other  person 

removes  (unscrew)  the  two  isolation  feet  as  shown  in  drawing  8. 

Please make sure the edge of the speaker's bottom does not touch 

the floor 

during this process.
