Hey epos fans.
I am an onwer of a epos m5, sad to say , its retired aside as i am playing with a 3/5a.
From my experience, epos speakers are power hunger speakers, may it be old or new. Perhaps, longer running in on the speakers will be sufficient to bring out the bass, I am suffering lacking of bass for the first year, after a period of run in i am quite amazed with the bass.

Well, i would say that the ls35/a is easier to drive compared to m5, even tried on es11. the first try i was using a unison research simply 2, when i tried the comparing.

Then i changed to another amp, sonic frontier power 1. where i compared again, then i realised that the hi freq is more pleasing to listen to, comparing to low power simply 2.

Well all this is based on what i feel and how i think. as u can see i mainly play with tube amps, i am not sure how it would peform on a solid state.

I've never got the chance to audition m5 on creek, but when i bought it, the seller hooked it up on naim, i was on the decision to get a proacs studio10 or m5, Pro acs has the sound stage, and the lows, i was attracted by the mid highs of the m5, and from the price difference too. I am more to a mid high lover.

hahahah....
supposingly cannot, but then again still i settle for the m5. its 1/2 the price off studio 10. He recommend me other few speakers, JM labs, Wharfadle... nah, i read too much what HI FI. (now i no longer read them)(marketing Gimmick like u say.)..No doubt it sound nice on the naim, not to say all the cables he used are "BOSS" forget what brand already. Summore pass through a Richard gray power conditioner. Strategy... When i reach home i just listen to it for like 15 mins after hooking up then i leave aside for 3 days without powering of to run it. Summore to forget whats the feel of the naim amp. DENG ! I poisoned mysef with my own setup hahaa...

Anyway M5 would be sweet on tubes too. Tried it on quad 303. and Jadis JA15 ( if i din recall wrong) The Quad will potray very lots of mid range there will be slight improvement in mid low. Jadis though its expensive its not my cup of tea, however the female voice to it is simply seductive, but if u change to jazz its just too mellow.

ermm, i mean its 1/2 the price of studio 10 ( typo)
Typo again... yep its 110... I was offered at 4.2k if i did not recall wrong. m5 i got it at 1.7k that time. after few months of using the side started to cracked up. i'll seee if i still can find the picture. will post it up tonight.
