Speaker advice?

Thanks all. After talking this over more with my dad, I am going to give the Dynaudios a try. If they don't work well, I will sell them and try the Minuets or the Spendors. I am actually delighted to know about these other speakers, as I have some other applications in mind as well. I am grateful for your advice, audiophiles! Hope it's a rockin' fourth!

Though this may be too late, I highly recommend the Epos Elan 10. It's an excellent speaker for the money, and compares favorably with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II (I own both). I also have a smaller room and these were the perfect audiophile speaker solution.

I've fallen for Epos since my purchase of the M5 a number of years ago. Before casting judgement, please read Robert Reina's glowing reviews of Epos speakers. I think it's a mistake to disqualify these speakers and this company based on misinformation or lack of auditioning. These truly are outstanding speakers.

Thanks, Richard, you're actually not too late. And someone else was also just telling me to reconsider the Elan 10. I had eliminated it because of Al's warning (see post 6/17) about the impedence curve. Given that, can I ask what size amplifier you are running yours on? (Again, I think I am constrained for space reasons to a smaller amp and will most likely go with the Creek 50a). Margot

Wow, I’m 5 years late in responding! Please accept my apologies, mcanaday. I assumed my comment was the last, and unfortunately no email notifications are sent from this site when new comments are made.

Well, if you do stop by here again, I wonder what speakers you went with for your similarly compact listening space. It may not have been Epos Elan 10, but that’s fine.

In answer to your question, Al was right. The Epos require careful consideration in that an amplifier or receiver that can drive 4 ohm speakers is necessary. But there are quite a few out there that do this pretty well. In my case, I chose the Onkyo TX-8050 receiver. Perhaps not the most high end of electronics. But it does a pretty good job for the price.

In any event, I hope you’re enjoying whatever components you ultimately chose for your system after all these years! 

Cheers!
Richard
