Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?

I heard them or the 6s but I think it was the 12 @ the show in NY years ago. I was very very impressed & thought them to be one of the worlds great speakers. Incredibel detail, sound staging & imaging. The only limitatoin was that the subwoofer was not integrated at all. From what I understand the subwoofer was an experimental version. It should be much better now. There is another speaker supposed to be similar but much less expensive called. It is now discontinued but probably can be sourced. The name is the GR Research Alpha LS. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
