Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?

711smilin, heard them at the first Rocky Mountain Audio Fest when they were showing with Edge Electronics. Carefully listened, I'm a fan of Edge, used to own an NL-10 amp, and thought that the 12-12's were ok at best nothing special. They kinda went into a catagory I call, "just don't get it", which means that after all the hype in the Absolute Sound review, the speakers were not horrible or anything, but just very average at best. I did notice that you better sit in the very small "sweet spot" otherwise you lose the image and high end extension. In my opinion, I would rather own a pair of Soundlabs or a pair of MG-20.1's if your looking for the magic that planar speakers can provide. Finally, have you noticed that after all the fanfare that the Absolute Sound review of the Epiphany caused, nobody else reviewed them and there has been no discussions between audiophiles regarding their performance. Even the Absolute Sound does not have them on their recommanded list of speakers, which is interesting since they raved about them to begin with.

Steve, because of responding to your thread I was motivated to talk to my girlfriend and an another audiophile friend that I attended the RMAF with to again compare are " audio notes" regarding the 12-12's. We all agree that at best they were average and none of us put them in the top 10 best sounding systems at the show. It's just are opinion under show conditions, but do you self a favor and do not buy any speaker that you cannot audition with your gear or best of all a home audition.

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? 2) Why the rush to buy a speaker you never personally have heard? 3) If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your new speakers? 4) Have you been mainly lucky before when you buy gear you have never auditioned or not have had great results? 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 find it amazing when anybody purchases a piece of gear with out an audition when it might cost thousands of their had earned dollars.
