Shiva, I listened to revel, dynaudio, harbeth, maggies, focal, kef etc. i have some zu's and fritz speakers in the house now. I think i'm going with the fritz's. He's from your neck of the woods. Nice guy. Anyway, the epics competed with all those above easily. They competed with with their higher end models. They punch way above their price point.

i've basically owned 2 pairs of speakers, a pair of heresy's in the 80's and these epic's bought in 94. And every speaker i've heard since don't sound any better to me. I've been looking at speakers seriously for the last several months and everything i listen to i go nope no better than what i have, especially anywhere near its price range. If i wasn't downsizing and just looking for a change i would keep them. They are really great sounding speakers

One owner and in great shape. There are two defects that i can see, three small circles on one speaker from a bottle of oil the kids put on it and a scratch on the plastic low on the other. They actually look worse in the pictures. I've since worked on the spots and they're just about gone. Everything is original except for new grill fabric. Inside the speaker are the clear jacketed monster style wire.I'm also missing one of the plastic feet that cover the carpet spikes. These also come with a matching KV-4 center channel. It's been in storage for a while and worked fine last time i used it. I haven't tested it though. These are the best speakers that i have owned and after 25 years it's time for a change. They sound great, some of the best Klipsch have made. Local pickup only in the Baton Rouge, La area. $525.00
