be made to the initial chosen position, e.g. moving the speakers 10 cm 

towards the front wall, etc. Please evaluate the sound carefully every 

time  you  make  a  small  change  in  the  positioning.  Continue  making 

small changes in the positioning and evaluate again until the proper 

position with a balanced, natural sound is found. We suggest that you 

test and listen to various musical pieces from different genres to avoid 

specific sonic accents. 

Please  keep  in  mind  when  changing  the  position  of  your 

speakers:  

• Close proximity to the back wall and corners will reinforce, enhance, 

the bass performance. 

• A shorter distance between the two speakers will create better focus 

and deeper imaging but will reduce the width of the stereo image. 

•  Pointing  the  speakers  inwards  minimizes  reflections  from  the  side 

walls but has an impact on the stereo image. 

Once you have located the ideal position, replace the wheels 

with  the  spiked  cones  or  isolation  feet  that  are  included  in  the  case. 

Before  critical  listening,  please  allow  60-90  minutes  of  playback  for 

system-stabilization.  When  listening  at  an  excessive  volume  you  risk 
damaging the drivers. 

5. TAKING CARE OF YOUR ESTELON SPEAKERS 

  

The  multi-coated  finish  applied  to  Estelon  speakers  is 

considered  the  most  advanced  automotive  finish  available.  It  is 

extremely  strong  and  durable.  In  order  to  maintain  the  speakers’ 

immaculate  appearance,  special  cleaning  cloths  are  provided  with 

your  Estelon  loudspeakers.  Please  note  that  only  dry  cleaning  is 

allowed. Do not wash the speakers. In case of a smudge/spot, please 

use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the smudges before the final
