The Epos M series loudspeakers evolved from the time honoured ES range of the eighties and nineties and until recently the M12 was the entry level speaker for the range. This speaker was first designed in 1999 and December 2003 saw the introduction of its successor – the M12.2
Still a two way bass reflex design, the M12.2 features a 150mm woofer complete with phase plug. Replacing the plastic chassis used in the original M12 is the all new Epos die cast chassis. The tweeter used in the M12.2 is a 25mm aluminium dome with ferrofluid cooling and neodymium magnet system.
As you would expect with a speaker of this quality, there is provision for bi-wiring via the two sets of 5 way binding posts.
The real wood veneer cabinet, available in a choice of light cherry, dark cherry or black, is beautifully finished and the metal grille can be easily removed if desired.
Listening to the new M12.2 is a delight. If used in a home cinema application, the addition of M5 speakers for rear channel use together with the M8 centre channel guarantees a home theatre speaker system of the highest calibre.
When placed on the optional ST12 open frame stands designed for this particular model, it is said they perform at their best.
Epos speakers are available in black and light cherry.
