Estelon is a high-end loudspeaker manufacturer based in Estonia and this year they are celebrating ten years of creating what they hope are “the world’s best loudspeakers”. Hifi Pig caught up with chief designer and engineer Alfred Vassilkov to ask him a few questions about the brand, their philosophy, and more.
THE ESTELON STORY
From a young age, and while growing up in the Soviet era, Alfred began dismantling radios and changed and adjusted their components in the hope of improving their sound quality. At university, whilst studying electro-acoustics in St Petersburg, he extended his interest in this field which led him to a Eureka moment back in 2010 whilst, of all things, having breakfast with his family.
