In January, Alfred Vassilkov, founder and designer of Estelon, travelled across China and Japan together with our VP of Sales Jean-Philippe Fontaine, strengthening relationships with partners and engaging with the local high-end audio community.
Shanghai: A Moment of Stillness
Our journey began in Shanghai, where we hosted an intimate private listening session at Purist Audio. The event welcomed a select audience into a calm and focused environment, designed to highlight the purity of sound and form.
Guests were invited to slow down and listen deeply. Music, space, and presence came together in quiet harmony, creating a shared experience that went beyond words. Alfred personally introduced the philosophy behind Estelon, offering insight into the emotional and sculptural approach that defines our loudspeakers.
Guangzhou: Presenting the Extreme Mk II
The journey continued in Guangzhou, where the Estelon Extreme Mk II was presented during exclusive listening sessions hosted by Guangzhou Yufeng Audio in collaboration with Chunyin Audio.
With Alfred in attendance, guests and media were introduced to our flagship loudspeaker and its latest evolution. The Extreme Mk II retains Estelon’s iconic sculptural design while incorporating significant acoustic advancements.
The sessions offered a detailed look into both the engineering and artistry behind the product, followed by immersive listening experiences that showcased its full performance.
Tokyo: Immersed in Audio Culture
In Tokyo, we spent time connecting with long-standing partners and exploring Japan’s deeply rooted high-end audio culture. Visits included:
- Kanjitsu Denki HQ
- U Audio
- Dynamic Audio
- SIS Audio
Each meeting reflected a shared dedication to craftsmanship, precision, and musical authenticity. Japan continues to be a market where attention to detail and respect for sound reproduction align closely with Estelon’s values.
A Shared Passion
This trip was not only about presenting products, but about building meaningful connections. Across Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tokyo, we met with passionate individuals who share our belief in the emotional power of music and the importance of experiencing it without compromise.
We are grateful to our partners and guests for their warm welcome and continued support.
