this retro synthwave is contagious

I wanna say this ad and speakers have been for sale for at least 3 years, I searched craigslist a couple of years ago for my cfs and this ad was up at that time, same price, city, and pictures. could be Bogus or they are sticking to their guns on price!!

it could be a loose front panel, common problem in the legend series, if you take out the woofer and pull on the front panel and it moves, then it needs reglued!

he's just seeing how much a 3-way would cost!

Epic cf4 Modified Klf-30 titanium modified Kg 5.5

I do want to add, If I had purchased the Epic CF 4s back in 97 I probably would have gotten rid of them, I was just an 18 year old with a Denon 140 watt receiver who loved to crank music as loud as possible, so I would have burnt the Denon up a few times, I had already done it once with the KLF-30s, and I had no money for separate amps at the time. if I didn't find this forum I don't think I would still have the Epic speakers also, if Moray had not told me about the EV dh1506 compression driver I probably would have moved on to something else. looking back at the trials and tribulations of trying to get the cf4s to sound their best really makes me appreciate them even more, The only analogy I can think of is that of a sports car, the cf4 is a sports car with a limit computer chip in it (the original compression driver) it only tops out at 120 mph, replace that limit chip with a high performance chip (ev compression driver) and its off to the races, give it some high octane fuel (more wattage) and you have a le-mans race car ready to race for hours!

it's going on 6 years having my epic cf 4 speakers, I always wanted a pair, I was set to buy a pair back in 97 as a teenager, went into the audio store and the salesman said they had been discontinued, so he ended up selling me the Klf-30s and I was happy at the time, the Legend speakers provided many years of sonic bliss and the woofers never blew and I pushed those speakers to the max, so jumping forward to 2009 I heard about craigslist and so I searched for a pair of Epic cf4 near where I live, and low and behold someone was selling a pair, I knew nothing of the different versions, bought them,(they were v3) hooked them up to a B&k amp, rocked out a little and ended up feeling underwhelmed by the sound they produced. I didn't mind them for HT use, it just happened when listening to music, so, six months go by and I learn of this forum and i read a post by ka7qau and that sent me on my cf4 journey to find the version 1s, within a year I found a pair in Chicago, bought them, I had b&k mono amps this time at 250 watts, played them and still walked away disappointed. I didn't give up, i kept telling myself, the cfs need more power, if they get more power it will make the difference!, saved up and bought the Marantz reference Ma-9s2 mono amps, and they instantly made a huge difference in overall sound, i have said it before in other forum posts, the Marantz mono amps took control of the speakers. so now its around 2013 and having listened to epic cf4s with the Marantz for a few months i realize that every time i start to push the speaker at higher volumes, the Highs seemed to start faultering, they sounded good at half volume but the louder it got the Highs just became less clear and muddy sounding. THIS is where Moray James stepped in, he e-mailed me a few years back, i took his advice for the modifications and it took the speakers to that level of sonic satisfaction that i was always searching for out of these speakers. i have been listening to the current modified cfs for about 2 years now and have no desire to upgrade. just a little story of my Epic Journey!

No helicopter pad....Deal Breaker!

pyramids, megaliths, Giants, elongated skulls ....Oh-My

This has been in the back of my mind for awhile, what tube amplifiers and tubes would be great for the epic cf 3/4 series? i'm just curious on how the highs would sound, i have the lows covered with my Marantz mono amps, and have modified the compression driver with the ev-dh 1506 i am very HAPPY with the sound i have now and can live without the change, just wondering if better highs are to be gained with going with tube amps for the highs?

kapsnb01, what did you think of the difference between the stock compression driver and the EV dh-1506?

Bump...its been a year and a half since posting on this thread, still have my modded CF-4s, still have no desire to change my set-up! would like to hear if people still have the epic cfs or have moved on to something else and if they miss the epics?

i finally wrapped my Cf-4 horns with Dynamat and it definitely made a difference, cleans up the highs a bit and gives some crispness to the bass! well worth the 60 dollar upgrade!

War of the Worlds, when the ship comes out of the ground, i always test for when people come over....very well done scene!

I just watched Transporter 2 the other day, and when they fire the guns in all the scenes they are really bass powerful ...good rapid bass punch!!
