Founded in 2010 during a Sunday morning breakfast when Alfred Vassilkov decided to pursue his ambition with support from his daughters Alissa (now CEO) and Kristiina (co-founders), Estelon emerged as Estonia's luxury loudspeaker manufacturer. Vassilkov brought 25+ years of experience in speaker design, electroacoustics, and ultrasound technology. The family-run business from Estonia combines cutting-edge innovation with sculptural beauty, with designs inspired by Estonia's lush forests where form follows function - acoustic criteria prevailing over aesthetics. Speakers feature proprietary marble-based composite material cabinets, hand-finished with multiple coats of Formula 1 monocoque-style automotive finish. Just six months after founding, Estelon won the International CES Innovation Design and Engineering Award with their XA model. Additional accolades include the Red Dot Design Award and 2012 Product of the Year from The Absolute Sound. Manufacturing in Estonia, assembly takes two days for models like Aura, while flagship Extreme Mk II requires two technicians and two weeks per pair. The company proudly maintains Estonian identity, with 'Estelon' reflecting their heritage. Since 2010, Estelon has provided the most luxurious loudspeakers to the high-end community, celebrated worldwide for blending innovation with beauty.
