    INTRODUCTION 1.1.

    The result of a reassessment, a further refinement and extension of the performance goals already in place for the much praised Model XA – Alfred Vassilkov’ s first tribute to the Estelon brand and the birth of a new approach to loudspeaker design.

    3. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Your Estelon loudspeakers come packaged individually in 2 separate flight cases – we strongly recommend keeping these cases for possible future use / transport. Due to the substantial weight and slippery surface of the loudspeakers we suggest that two persons assist in the unpacking and positioning of them for listening.
  • Page 12 6. At this time, please put on the gloves that you find included in the accessories box. Now, with the speaker upright and out of the flight case, carefully remove the cloth bag from the speaker and roll it to the desired position in your room. We recommend keeping the speakers on wheels during the initial set-up.
  • Page 13 Once the final position has been located, it is time to re- place the transport wheels with the enclosed spikes. Doing one side at a time, carefully tilt the speaker to one side and replace the wheels with the enclosed spikes. Please retain the wheels, once removed, in the event that repackaging is required.
