I got M12.2...

My experience with 12.2, limit to my Marantz SR5200 capabilities! At soft to mid level...the speakers sound perfectly smooth and accurate!

But the 12.2 starts to turn harsh when drive at higher volume!

I guess my marantz cant drive this speaker to the loudness that I desired! I planned to test the Epos with my bigger and better spec TXSR875, but sadly the epos was only available for me for limited time!

Anyway, even though I still have unfinished business with this epos speakers testing, I still put the Epos name high on my list as the speakers are one of the best available around 2-3k budget! If the thing on sale, it would be much better!!!

oh no, i miss the boat again <actor of the year award

gREat stuff, beautiful to look at, and beautiful sound as well...

just wondering, wat will happen if i use a sandfill up stands?need to read something about it tonite..

Thanks for the tip...have not filling anything yet inside my stands!(not using the open frame stand)

Hey... how are you man.. just found out that you also having the Menthor Integra Amplifier! Is it still there or long gone?!

Sorry for the late response, this thread been buried and hard to notice..

Still got the epos, beautiful and my setup finally manage to get the bass released after more than 2 months playing it regularly...

still kumpul duit.... for such amplifier!

Deng,
The 12.2 is a gem. I bought 1 brand new set for my friend back in July and another used set for my own usage about 3 months ago! My used set is 2 years old and only recently I manage to unleash the bass...as my friend who bought brand new(7month ago), he's still in run-in stage as he seldom got time to listen to the speakers!

So the story is... it really took time to get it right! And yes the bigger the amp...the better it sounds!

i dont think the equipment are the only culprit when you bring your new speaker home...
Another factor is room acoustic...I spent almost many many weeks just to get the right position for my speaker to perform at its best!

But when i found the ultimate place to put my speaker... my home minister said the speaker kinda to close to the dining table and obstruct people path to that area... arrrrgghhh! Tension tension...

Should I remove the dining table or... find another room to park my hifi??

Mine is Marantz 90Watt RMS into 8Ohm....driving the 12.2! But the bigger the better esp. the BASS...

Dont take it as negative point as some speakers(other than epos) that I previously owned wont care much of good or bad placements. Why not? coz they are nothing to look forward for..as placement wont change much on speakers' performance.

While Epos on the other hand, can sound precise and accurate if you can find its sweet spot...

Difficult is better rather than not having a potential to excel...

One thing about bookshelf speakers are they cant be placed on bookshelfs.Although their names suggest so!

But for your situation, I think your place is big enough for Hifi ( 6 feet apart)...but not placing the speakers on table laaa..

Put aside the placement issue, how much the 12.2 offered to you???

nah.. if u cant remember how the 12.2 look like (without cover)
