Estelon's new X Diamond Signature Edition builds on the X Diamond Mk II speaker while drawing inspiration from other models from the company's lineup.
A three-way passive speaker with a quoted frequency range of 22 - 60,000 Hz, the X Diamond Signature Edition comes with an 11-inch Accuton ceramic sandwich dome drive woofer, a 7-inch Accuton ceramic membrane midwoofer and a 1-inch Accuton diamond inverted dome tweeter.
The custom-built connectors are derived from the Extreme Mk II model. They have a unique clamp design and are spring-loaded for optimal cable attachment. The manufacturer says that the proprietary connectors are 3D printed from polyamide with no metal parts to avoid compromising sound integrity with metal-to-metal transitions.
Similar to Estelon's flagship models, Forza and Extreme Mk II, the X Diamond Signature Edition features Kubala Sosna internal cabling with OptimiZ technology architecture, which is said to improve transparency in the midrange and highs and provide a larger soundstage.
The loudspeaker's filter scheme and topology have also been updated with Mundorf Ultra resistors and resin-baked coils. The X Diamond Signature Edition comes with Stillpoints Ultra SS V2 isolation feet to ensure consistency across different floor types while improving the soundstage and bass articulation.
Everything comes encased in a black marble-based composite cabinet with striking stainless steel accent details. The power rating is 200W, with a minimal amplifier power of 20W and a nominal impedance of 6 ohms.
Only 20 Estelon Limited Edition X Diamond Signature Edition pairs are available worldwide at a recommended retail price of €98,000/ US$115,000.
