Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?

Steve,

Both my cousin & I heard the Ephiphany 6s in the show. People who heard them early in the show didn't like them. Later in the show they liked them much better. Still my cousin & I had polarized views on them.

Now, yes you are an audiophool. I am glad to join you there. I do believe listening is the best way. The Epiphanys are wonderful line arrays. There are others out there for more money including the Genesis & Nolas & Pipedreams. I would definitely love the have a line array some time if I can afford the experiment. You will find them hard to sell as rotating big speakers is much more difficult than selling source equipment or amplifiers. Good luck & enjoy them. I am sure they will do some things better than any other speaker you have heard in your system. Remember the integration of the subwoofer will take patience, time & a good audio friends help. A test CD w. bass test tones, & placement analysis, acoustical paneling & a spectrum analyzer will help. It will determine how you maximize the enjoyment of your speaker. I am a firm believer a speaker w. poorly integrated bass is not worth a dime. Fortunately today you can find incredible subwoofers w. advanced crossover designs that can accomplish this goal.

Dgad, I am having a horn system custom built, along with my buddy Alex Peychev from APL hifi build me a pair of his. The drivers alone, in both custom speakers will cost me more than these. I just desire to have the best of all worlds. I understand, that, when set up properly, these should comete very nicely with my buddy's pipedream 21's. If not, I guess I will take a loss, and sell them. OTOH, I am buying them for what I consider a fair price, and I feel that should I desire to sell them, the new owner would buy them right too. I wish I had the space for the Genesis system, but alas, this is not possible in my present home. Next year though, may be a different story.

I agree with you that speakers are much more difficulat to move thru, than amps, sources, pre's, et. This is the reason I have not really done so, yet. Oh, well, let the PIA begin.

Happy Holiday's to all my Audiogn audiophool's

Steve

Good luck with your new purchase, Steve....look forward to hearing them in your house!

A friend of mine just showed me the latest Horning w. 4 woofers in the back in a push pull. He was going nuts about them. Unfortunately I am not a horn person yet. Never even gave them a chance. I heard them a few times at a friends house & at shows and didn't like them (not the Hornings though). I want to give them a second listen some day. Maybe a 2nd SET system. I think in the end the ideal world would be a few different speaker systems to meet all our needs.

1markr, ya gotta come hear my corn's singing too!! Got a few new toys to play with.
