Though the AURA Loudspeakers are part of Estelon’s entry-level line, they still outperform many other excellent speakers I have reviewed over the years. They are not inexpensive, but their composite cabinetry, custom drivers, high-end internal wiring, generally excellent design, and form factor make them a “forever” speaker for many of us. As I mentioned before, the AURA whets my appetite to hear the bigger siblings in Estelon’s arsenal. Putting it into perspective, I can’t afford a Lamborghini either, but I’d still like to test-drive one.

The Fortissimo S employs opposing magnets for platter support. This reduces the effective load on the bearing surface. The bearing has a unique inverted design topped with a ceramic ball and mounted in a steel alloy block. The shaft surface features a graphene-based low-friction coating that reduces friction to 1/6 of the EAT Forte S.

As I had with the other GoldenEar speakers I have reviewed, I enjoyed my time with the T66s. Other than that slightly hot high end, which will require care taken with system matching and setup and will have less of an effect in rooms that are larger or have a significantly lower reverb time than mine, these full-range speakers neatly stepped out of the way of the music. And when I take the affordable price into consideration, I have no hesitation in recommending the T66 highly.

Our concerns about the similarities between this product and the 2018 Studio prove unfounded. Whatever they share in visual and engineering terms it is clear that the new Studio 89 are markedly superior performers that fully justify their premium price. They sound natural and balanced in a way that eluded that earlier product, so much so that we feel no more need to mention that design. It is how this Monitor Audio compares with price rivals such as the aforementioned KEF and Neat that really matters; and judged in that context they do very well.

The film’s later scenes, in which the humans gradually attempt (not successfully) to communicate with the aliens, were no less impressive and marked by equally striking sound in both the music score, which in itself was otherworldly, and in the odd alien voices and their puzzling, written script. The SVS Titans handled it all effortlessly, bringing continuous audio thrills at every turn.

But that was only the beginning of the fun. The Blade Runner 2049 audio left my jaw on the floor. It’s always been one of the best soundtracks in my collection, but its dynamic punch on the Titans + subs was more bone-jarring than I’ve ever heard it before. But I did have to reduce the volume level a bit. Even at higher levels, it was super-clean, but eventually, things needed to be tamed a little to keep the neighbors from breaking out their pitchforks and torches.

It should be clear by now that we rate the Discovery 3Zero very highly, as we did their bigger A.C.T. 3Zero siblings. If you are after a transparent and revealing pair of speakers then there are few alternatives as capable as these. They may be hugely expensive but when partnered well and carefully set up they are capable of sounding magical.
