Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?

Dgad,

thanks for the opinion....I know you heard the 6-6 plus, but the 12-12 should be great with an additional sub.

Teajay, I dunno, but I hope you are wrong. BTW they were on the list for most wanted in 04

Steve

Teajay, Thanks for the advice, but, alas, I took the plunge without listening again. I have talked to several owners who do not share your views. Here's hoping your wrong......

Teajay

Steve, even if it was not the holiday season, I would be glad to be wrong and hope you will be delighted with your 12-12's. I'm just a curious guy, so a few questions asked in a respectful way:

1) Did you get some great financial offer that you could not refuse?

Gotta decent deal

2) Why the rush to buy a speaker you never personally have heard?

Cause I am nutz, i just sold others, and am waiting for a coupkle custom pair to be made. I have heard really good things about them, and, time will tell the rest.

3) If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your new speakers?

This question does not compute, plus, it's really none of your business, unless yawanna lend me some $$$

4) Have you been mainly lucky before when you buy gear you have never auditioned or not have had great results?

I believe I can only make judgement on audio equipment when I have it in my own room. As I said before, I am nutz, obsessed, addicted.......I have been thru over 35 sources in the past couple of years, and over 35 amps. I am starting on speakers now......I also find, the harder I try, the luckier I get.

Now, Have I been luckey? NO, I have been smart. I truely believe I own the best digital available, and own many of the best sounding amps anywhere, especially for the $$$.

I know what I will end up with, in the near future. A WORLD CLASS syste, that MAKES ME HAPPY.

5) Do you really think owners of this speaker would bad rap their own speakers and they would be the most objective in giving you feedback on the 12-12's?

I have not talked to JUST owners, and I am seeking other opinions from audiophools, like myself, who have at least heard them. I know, when I tell people about what I own, I am objective....I hope others are too.

I find it amazing when anybody purchases a piece of gear with out an audition when it might cost thousands of their had earned dollars.

I find it amazing when people listen to audio in a foriegn room, with eq. they do not own, and in most cases at high end stores, 100k plus of room treatment, and then say how a particular item sounds.

I personnaly find the only way for me to judge what audio eq. sounds like is to have it in my own home. This way I know what I HAVE.....yaknow!!!!

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
