The distinctive style of YB Mk II may be a masterpiece of sleek design, as with all the Estelon products, but it is also a triumph of “form follows function”. With an emphasis on lines and surfaces, as opposed to the X-Series’ organic curves, the resulting Y shape, from which the YB name derives, is obtained by the system’s asymmetric driver positioning. The newly upgraded YB Mk II contains new crossover and cabling and it's now coming in the same marble based composite cabinet for a quality of sound that immerses the listener in both the technical brilliance and the emotional ebb and flow of the audio experience.

With their asymmetrical design, the Estelon Model YB speakers are a prime example of a functional design approach. The cabinets are moulded from a marble based composite material and shaped to optimise sound quality. The placement of the drivers in the cabinet is also well thought out: the mid-woofer is positioned above the beryllium driver to minimise sonic reflections from the floor. The wider speaker base accommodates the bass driver with aluminium diaphragm. Since the woofers are angled towards each other, they can be placed close to a wall even in smaller rooms without having to cope with overlapping sound.

The YB to YB MkII product updates and improvements:

• New stronger marble-based composite cabinet material, same as in X Series models,
  providing less vibration, purer audio signal, better micro-dynamics, and improved fidelity.

• New crossover with improved components featuring Mundorf resistors and Silver Gold
  Oil capacitors for wider dynamic range and transparency.

• New higher quality Kubala-Sosna Pure Copper cabling resulting in a more detailed and
  richer sound.

• New high-quality stainless steel black matte floor-spikes and swappable flat feet
  (designed by Estelon) for carpeted or hard floors, resulting in fewer vibrations and better
  overall audio reproduction.

“These speakers convince with their well-conceived design, enriching
any interior with their striking sculptural appearance”
