Oh yeah.! I have had a pair of these speakers for about 6 years. I got them (literally) off the back of a van. I used to work at a council recycling centre and they came in one day. Tiny dent to one of the tweeters and one of the badges missing, otherwise perfect. Knocked spots off of my Wharfedale E 20s . I love them, for sure.😍👌✌
even through your recording played on my phone speakers, the sound and the performance are pulling through amazingly, crossing my fingers that I can get a pair of these
Listening with a notebook, a Meridian DAC and the Sennheiser 600, the mids are wonderful. Congratulations! A friend of mine had them years ago with a Naim amp. I miss that sound.
This is the Mark II. Excellent speaker. Some of the best midrange I've ever heard; a super-clean window to the music. A bit loose in the bottom without the bungs, but their performance depends on the room and placement. I prefer these to the Mark I I currently own. Nice to see the love, here.
@@beslemeto Both versions are very, very good, although slightly different. The Mk1 has a different 'crossover' to the tweeter than the Mk2 (I believe the Mk2 has a higher crossover point, and different capacitor value - or maybe it's just the capacitor value that is different... Can't recall at the moment). Both of them are almost full-range speakers. The MK1 is a bit 'fuller' sounding in the lower midrange, which works better than the Mk2 in my room. The Mk2 has a more transparent window to the music, and is lighter in the lower midrange than the MK1 (so it doesn't sound as 'bloated'). They both go as low as each other in terms of low bass response. As mentioned, the Mk1 is more 'full' sounding than the MK2 The tweeter on the Mk2 seemed to be better than my Mk1, but I think I need new caps in my Mk1, which likely would fix up the treble (not that it's bad...it's just a little gritty at times, now - very minorly so, though. Which one works better for you would depend on the room, and your tastes. In my previous residence, the Mk2 reigned supreme. In my current residence, the nod goes to the Mk1.
@@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio Thanks for the reply.I am planning to buy the MK1 version with upgraded caps (Jantzen Blue) for the tweeter. £240 pound we agreed for them with the seller.Hopefully i won't be disappointed.I have Yamaha MX-1 which is known to be good amp,but i don't know how these speakers will respond to that amp.Once again thank you very much!
Epos es14 was the finest born from the BBC ls3/5a era..it has an impeccable midrange which rivals the best out there till today and its about 30+ years now.but beware of used units with distortion due to aging of its drivers..
@@Charme19064646How do they compare to LS50s? I have LS50 mk1 Black editions that I have horizontal too in my office system near field 0.7m toy ears 😊 driven by a modified Rotel or a Musical Fidelity A1.
Yeep,, epos is the beast speaker.. I had epos M12i, M15.2 , Epic 5.. pair with Roksan kandy K2, Rotel Ra 1520..more than musicality i think,, superb speakers👍👍👍
Junichi Ikeda Well,I caught the Epos bug.I can't recall at mo which .(just looked.,..they're MS11s) was a little disappointed, I found them Bass shy.But then again I am a child of the 70s,brought up on Goodman's Magnums and Quad and Leak etc.However, it is surprising how beguiling the Epos are,very lovely and perfect for spring and summer afternoons. Just don't expect fireworks. That belongs to the 70s..
@@Charme19064646 Yeah i bought 2 pairs of these.Incredible tonality indeed.I am very happy with them and i can't think about any other speaker that would make me happier than these.
I have the Epos Epic 2 speakers, that i found off of CL. They are phenomenal, and i am looking for another speaker, but will it beat out the Epos? Focal Aria 906, Klipsch rp-600m?
Klipsch are hyped pieces of shit. MB Quart QL 502 (home theater speakers) destroyed them in a competition head to head. rp600m (600euros) mb quart 90 on SH
Also....die Mitten und Höhen sind Phänomenal..noch besser als bei der LS50...wirken einfach stimmiger. Der Bass ist etwas topfiger als bei der LS50. Aber die EPOS sind Spitzen - Lautsprecher! Werde diese nicht mehr hergeben....und ein Schnäppchen war es auch noch! Weiss nur nicht wie Elektronik -Empfindlich sie sind. Auf meiner Vincent Endstufe einfach herrlich...der ganze Raum wird durchflutet mit Musik 360°.
30 years later and still the best in it's class
That track was spine tingling! Thank you for exposing me to it.

@@beslemeto Anytime! Please do let me know how they end up matching your amp (I'd love to hear if it's a synergistic pairing). cheers!
@@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio Certainly i will tell you the results my friend!
Yes, indeed. They are most excellent. Designed by Robin Marshall, if memory serves....
Great speakers!!! They deliver Great Sound!!!

Since I seem lucky with my used epic es14. They are in perfect condition. The mids are just great, they have that in common with the LS50.
Are MK2 version good as MK1?Thanks!!!
The best speaker in it's class ....

EPOS is good speaker！
very nice！
What isolation transformer is that? I really need to get some ES14
Cool!
I have the 1st ver. for 25 yrs😄
Hi bro.. Violin nodes r clear nd crispy..
those semi circle diffuser were made if wood?
Can you make another video of these speakers and compare them to LS50 :)
I make 2 Videos...😉
What are full system configurations ?
epos es14 best off harmonic sounding kef ls50 not even closer
Always liked EPOS, never owned any. There is a pair of EPOS M15 speakers on sale locally. Any thoughts?

Are those MK1 or MK2 versions?They sound fantastic!Probably you have to pay like 3-4k to have speakers sounding like that...
MK2 Version
@@Charme19064646 Yeah i bought 2 pairs of these.Incredible tonality indeed.I am very happy with them and i can't think about any other speaker that would make me happier than these.
Forgive me for asking,but eould these be far superior to the Elac ub5.2?
I want to match this speaker with a Bluetooth amplifier. I don't know Which brand is more suitable? Under $1000
What amp are you using?
