Epos

The Elan series got some praise, then quickly vanished...so it seems. I have the Elan 10, a great speaker but  nothing new from Epos that competes. 

^ I think they missed the mark with the newer K series. Definitley not the route I would have gone. I had the Epos Epic 2s and thought they punched way above their price. I almost bought a pair of Elan 15s recently. IMO, Epos speakers possess an extremely rare combination of finesse, resolution, and excellent dynamics. I heard some older Meridian speakers a while back that reminded me of the Epos sound.

If I were them, I’d revise some of their classics, like the M and ES series, but with updated components.

Apparently they made an appearance at the Munich show last year. I wonder if they've sort of given up on the U.S. market. 

Too many monkey-coffin boxes that look and sound alike! Remember Tangent? Good sounding British speakers that failed in the marketplace! I owned a pair of RS2's (KEF B220 and T27 in a sealed box). Kept them for two years and stupidly sold them when I bought my first pair of Quads.

 Others I know have said similar’ remarks. I thought they had something special with  the M series and the Elan....

I bought a pair of their 14's 25 years ago. I took them out of the main system years ago when getting into SE equipment. Still using them upstairs with the television & will probably never sell them. They still sound great and although used everyday, don't get exercised much anymore.
