We are pleased to share that House of Stereo’s room featuring the Estelon Forza model at the Florida International Audio Expo 2026 has been awarded a Blue Note Award by Enjoy the Music.com.
Presented in the Sabal Room, the system stood out for its ability to deliver a deeply immersive and emotional listening experience. The room drew listeners into the music through a rich, enveloping soundstage. The presentation was holographic and full-bodied, yet remained controlled and articulate.
At the heart of the system were the Estelon Forza speakers. The system was complemented by carefully selected electronics, including the VPI Titan Direct for analogue playback and the T+A SD 3100 Streaming DAC for digital. Amplification was provided by Accustic Arts, ensuring control, precision, and a fatigue-free presentation.
This synergy resulted in an exceptionally low noise floor, revealing subtle textures and lifelike detail across the frequency range. Vocals were rendered with clarity and intimacy, while the overall tonal balance remained natural and engaging. The system demonstrated that neutrality and emotional involvement can coexist to create a truly reference-level listening experience.
We thank our partners for their collaboration and all visitors who joined us in the room.
