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

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......
Steve, even if it was not the holiday season, I would be glad to be wrong and hope you will be delighted with your 12-12's. I'm just a curious guy, so a few questions asked in a respectful way: 1) Did you get some great financial offer that you could not refuse? 2) Why the rush to buy a speaker you never personally have heard? 3) If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your new speakers? 4) Have you been mainly lucky before when you buy gear you have never auditioned or not have had great results? 5) Do you really think owners of this speaker would bad rap their own speakers and they would be the most objective in giving you feedback on the 12-12's? I find it amazing when anybody purchases a piece of gear with out an audition when it might cost thousands of their had earned dollars.

Steve, even if it was not the holiday season, I would be glad to be wrong and hope you will be delighted with your 12-12's. I'm just a curious guy, so a few questions asked in a respectful way:

1) Did you get some great financial offer that you could not refuse?

Gotta decent deal

2) Why the rush to buy a speaker you never personally have heard?

Cause I am nutz, i just sold others, and am waiting for a coupkle custom pair to be made. I have heard really good things about them, and, time will tell the rest.

3) If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your new speakers?

This question does not compute, plus, it's really none of your business, unless yawanna lend me some $$$

4) Have you been mainly lucky before when you buy gear you have never auditioned or not have had great results?

I believe I can only make judgement on audio equipment when I have it in my own room. As I said before, I am nutz, obsessed, addicted.......I have been thru over 35 sources in the past couple of years, and over 35 amps. I am starting on speakers now......I also find, the harder I try, the luckier I get.

Now, Have I been luckey? NO, I have been smart. I truely believe I own the best digital available, and own many of the best sounding amps anywhere, especially for the $$$.

I know what I will end up with, in the near future. A WORLD CLASS syste, that MAKES ME HAPPY.

5) Do you really think owners of this speaker would bad rap their own speakers and they would be the most objective in giving you feedback on the 12-12's?

I have not talked to JUST owners, and I am seeking other opinions from audiophools, like myself, who have at least heard them. I know, when I tell people about what I own, I am objective....I hope others are too.

I find it amazing when anybody purchases a piece of gear with out an audition when it might cost thousands of their had earned dollars.

I find it amazing when people listen to audio in a foriegn room, with eq. they do not own, and in most cases at high end stores, 100k plus of room treatment, and then say how a particular item sounds.

I personnaly find the only way for me to judge what audio eq. sounds like is to have it in my own home. This way I know what I HAVE.....yaknow!!!!
