Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?


I am really thinking of buying a pair of these, and have never heard them. I read a review from TAS http://www.epiphanyaudio.com/ that said they are incredible, fast like Quads, Soundlabs, but, with an incredible lifelike 3 dimensional sounstage. I have been told they are very placement friendly, which is great cause my room sucks. They were showing at the 2004 CES with Tenor. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I heard them or the 6s but I think it was the 12 @ the show in NY years ago. I was very very impressed & thought them to be one of the worlds great speakers. Incredibel detail, sound staging & imaging. The only limitatoin was that the subwoofer was not integrated at all. From what I understand the subwoofer was an experimental version. It should be much better now. There is another speaker supposed to be similar but much less expensive called. It is now discontinued but probably can be sourced. The name is the GR Research Alpha LS. Hope this helps.
711smilin, heard them at the first Rocky Mountain Audio Fest when they were showing with Edge Electronics. Carefully listened, I'm a fan of Edge, used to own an NL-10 amp, and thought that the 12-12's were ok at best nothing special. They kinda went into a catagory I call, "just don't get it", which means that after all the hype in the Absolute Sound review, the speakers were not horrible or anything, but just very average at best. I did notice that you better sit in the very small "sweet spot" otherwise you lose the image and high end extension. In my opinion, I would rather own a pair of Soundlabs or a pair of MG-20.1's if your looking for the magic that planar speakers can provide. Finally, have you noticed that after all the fanfare that the Absolute Sound review of the Epiphany caused, nobody else reviewed them and there has been no discussions between audiophiles regarding their performance. Even the Absolute Sound does not have them on their recommanded list of speakers, which is interesting since they raved about them to begin with.
Dgad,

thanks for the opinion....I know you heard the 6-6 plus, but the 12-12 should be great with an additional sub.

Teajay, I dunno, but I hope you are wrong. BTW they were on the list for most wanted in 04

Steve, because of responding to your thread I was motivated to talk to my girlfriend and an another audiophile friend that I attended the RMAF with to again compare are " audio notes" regarding the 12-12's. We all agree that at best they were average and none of us put them in the top 10 best sounding systems at the show. It's just are opinion under show conditions, but do you self a favor and do not buy any speaker that you cannot audition with your gear or best of all a home audition.
Teajay, Thanks for the advice, but, alas, I took the plunge without listening again. I have talked to several owners who do not share your views. Here's hoping your wrong......
