Dellichord FR2035 Active Loudspeakers
The concept of coupling a fully realised monitor speaker and a matching powered low-frequency module, as a cojoined loudspeaker architecture per channel, has been somewhat underapplied in the industry, despite its ample merits. When crafted by a skilled designer, the capabilities of that unified configuration can be manifested through excellent sonic performance. Evidently, young Australian design house Dellichord thoroughly understands the principle. The company has crafted the amplified, uniquely styled FR20 ‘IsoActive Bass Module’, which also serves as a complementary platform for the accompanying FR35 ‘Bookshelf Monitor’ perched above. Dellichord calls it the FR2035 IsoActive system.

Estelon AURA Loudspeakers
When I heard Estelon’s brand new AURA speakers at High End Munich 2023, I thought, “Note to self: These, I need to review.” In a rare experience, AURA presented the most ‘outside the speakers’ enveloping soundfield I’d heard at any show. Anywhere. Ever. And then there was that auric glow, that magnetic attraction from what, in my humble opinion, must be one of the most striking loudspeaker designs in high-end audio. Well, some months after that memorable show encounter, AURA materialised in my listening room, aglow in radiant white. Will AURA sonically enchant as it did at that remarkable Munich showing?
