Estelon is bringing its flagship Forza Ultra loudspeaker to Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw 2026, where the Estonian manufacturer’s longtime Polish distributor Nautilus will showcase the model at the 28th edition of Audio Video Show Warsaw, running 23-25 October across PGE Narodowy Stadium and the Golden Tulip and Radisson Blu Sobieski hotels. Nautilus has hosted Estelon’s room at the Warsaw show for several years running, most recently centering its 2025 demonstration on the X Diamond Mk II; this year the spotlight of Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw shifts to Estelon’s reworked flagship. Full specifications are published on Estelon’s official Forza Ultra product page.

Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw: a second generation of the flagship

The Forza Ultra builds on the original Forza, a design that first appeared at Warsaw in a ten-pair Anniversary Edition back in 2023; we covered the model’s launch in detail in our original Estelon Forza Ultra review. Estelon describes the new Ultra as a continuation of that sculptural language rather than a clean-sheet redesign, pairing the brand’s familiar curved, hand-finished cabinet with what the company calls a second generation of underlying technology aimed at extracting more purity, scale and intimacy from the same distinctive shape. The Warsaw stop marks one of the Estelon Forza Ultra’s first public showings outside the brand’s own demo spaces, and visitors to Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw will be among the first to hear the finished production version rather than a prototype.

Engineering behind the sculpture

Underneath the cabinet, Estelon has reworked the crossover network, with crossover points set at 90Hz, 800Hz and 2.5kHz and each stage tuned through measurement and listening for time alignment and tonal accuracy. The loudspeaker connects via an Estelon-developed, piano-key-inspired connector system that accepts banana plugs, spade connectors and bare wire and supports bi-wiring, reducing interfaces in the signal path. Each 150kg cabinet sits on Stillpoints Ultra SS V2 isolators, whose ceramic bearing system is designed to mechanically decouple the speaker from the floor, lower the effective noise floor and sharpen bass transients — engineering that visitors to Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw will be able to hear firsthand in the Nautilus room, alongside the partnering electronics Nautilus typically pairs with its demo systems.

What to expect in the Nautilus room at Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw

As Estelon’s representative in Poland, Nautilus has traditionally paired its Warsaw demonstrations with partnering electronics brands and used the show to give Polish and visiting audiophiles hands-on time with models not otherwise easy to audition locally. The Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw appearance gives visitors to the 2026 show an early chance to hear the flagship in a real listening room rather than a trade-show booth, continuing a pattern Nautilus has followed with Estelon flagships at previous editions of the show.

Pricing and availability

As a flagship, hand-built model, the speaker shown at Estelon Forza Ultra Warsaw is sold through Estelon’s dealer network rather than listed at a fixed retail price; interested buyers are directed to contact a local Estelon dealer, including Nautilus for the Polish market, for current pricing and lead times.

Key specifications

  • Crossover: 3-way network with crossover points at 90Hz, 800Hz and 2.5kHz
  • Connectors: Estelon piano-key-inspired system, accepts banana, spade or bare wire, supports bi-wiring
  • Isolation: Stillpoints Ultra SS V2 isolators with ceramic bearing system
  • Cabinet weight: approximately 150kg per speaker
  • Finishes shown: Silver Eclipse, Desert Pearl, Petra Gold, Ocean Spectra
  • Event: Audio Video Show Warsaw, 23-25 October 2026, PGE Narodowy Stadium and partner hotels, Nautilus room

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
