To me, Epos makes good speakers but if it is to compare with brands like ProAc, then different story.

Hello TS, if you are looking for Epos, I would suggest you to pair them with Creek amplifiers. They shd sound good. The other alternative would be Exposure amplifiers. Just give them an audition. However, things are subjective. Maybe you might not prefer the sound but there is no harm giving it a listening. Hope it helps.

QUOTE(InF.anime @ Sep 4 2008, 10:49 PM) Can Epos pair with Arcam amp? No idea how it sounds with Arcam. It should sound good with Creek because both companies owned by the same company and they developed the products using the stuffs from both companies. How is Creek / Exposure amp sound? Why its good on Epos?  Well, some people say that Epos debuted in the US using Naim Audio while Exposure's designs were almost similar to Naims. Lots of credits have been given to the compatibility between these companies since. It might only be a 'myth' and that's what people say but I have been using them for 10 yrs now.  |

Yes. I am using the original thin, light open frame speaker stands for the ES 11. Worried that the bass will be boomy if placing them near the rear walls.

QUOTE(Y.C. @ Oct 20 2008, 04:42 PM) Do try out the placement of your Epos ES11 to get to the sound you like; if they are placed too near the rear wall, they will sound boomy and you will also lose the soundstage. I had positioned my former ES11/ES12 approximately 18" from the rear wall. I read from magazines that the tweeter shd be at the level of our ears. I do place my ES11 half a meter away from the rear wall. I am slowly getting the best position out of them in my room. Lotsa experiments to go.. If not mistaken, The Hifi Shop in 1-U is selling the locally made open frame stands. Added on October 20, 2008, 8:27 pm I personally have yet to come across any Epos users placing their speaker cabinets upside down. The metal dome tweeters of Epos do not induce listening fatigue and the appropriate word to describe them is 'sweet sounding'; they should be placed on the same plane as our ears when we sit down in the listening position. |

Although Epos belong to Creek now, some of their products are being made in China.

QUOTE(abeye @ Nov 15 2008, 09:59 PM) EPOS ES11 is an excellent speaker during its time. I got robbed once and bought it again. I got a chance once to listen it paired to a monstrous Naim set by an tech-freak guy in 1996 in UK. You know what system? Better take them out of the box and gave them few rounds of 'exercises'.. Full fledge CDS with its own power supply/Hi cap, NAC52 with 2 Naim Hi-Cap, 4 NAP250, stacked on a set of Mana Acoustics tables - connected to the EPOS ES11 and interchangably with a floorstander, i can't remember the model, ES25 i think. Damn chun the sound especially rock, vocals and acoustics. Somehow i can't just describe the sound - best rock sound ever heard with the floorstander and not far behind with ES11. Its true that ES11 require perfect partnership. Even my friend owning Pink Triangle De Capo and power supply, Mark Levinson pre-power amps plus KEF reference also jaw dropped listening to rock and acoustic music through Naim EPOS combo, even with ES11 not to mention with ES25. And i have listened to many old school hi-fi during mid 90s Now the ES11 is already retired for almost 10 years in its box. Once thinking of selling but what the heck, just keeping it for memory sake. Perhaps i'll open it again one day and listen to the glorious sound it can produce If storage area has lots of moisture, storing the speakers inside the boxes is not good.

Any of you know where can get a pair of the grilles for ES11? I only have the non-perforated plastic cover.

QUOTE(RAV4 @ Feb 17 2009, 06:01 PM) Coz my TV rack is 6 feet wide. On the left is 1 feet from wall but a 6" shelf for DVD is there so got 6" space. Can't fit stand. On the right is open space next to staircase so... gonna risk getting knocked over. That will not give you lots of option. I can think of putting the speaker stands in front of the shelf but not sure it is suitable for you.  |
