Mk II possesses an eminently musical temperament that is
immediately evident upon your first audition and every subsequent
listening experience.
The Extreme Mk II provides defined and deep bass, clear and
articulate mid-range, and musically detailed and dynamic high
frequencies. The Extreme Mk II can reproduce the finest nuances of
music.
1.2.1. Cabinet Design
The cabinet form has been developed and honed over many
years of research and testing in order to find the right material that
would allow the highest quality of cabinet and construction for the
loudspeaker’s acoustically engineered shape. The cabinet is extremely
rigid, highly dense, resonant-free, and with exceptional internal
dampening and acoustical control. This is the result of time-honoured
construction techniques, a special casting process, the use of a
proprietary marble-based composite along with the extensive use of
sub-structural stiffening spars that break up resonance nodes and
create an internal acoustic chamber of non-parallel sidewalls that is all
but immune to unwanted standing waves that can cause a coloured
sound. This is why the Estelon speakers reproduce a very natural and
balanced sound.
During the final hand-assembly process each speaker is
individually tuned to maintain uniformity from unit to unit. Each
Extreme Mk II speaker weighs 250 kg (551.2 lbs) in order to provide
stability, and is constructed with two modules (upper and lower). The
upper module of each loudspeaker is adjustable. Unusual in its defined
form, the result of this cabinet construction allows the bass to roll
effortlessly into the listening space.
