Montana EPS2 Speakers

Kendavid what didnt you like about the Nola Viper's ?

I have had a pair of the SPX's for years and love them. I have spent a lot of time listening to the EPS at the dealer where I got my SPX. If I could have gotten a pair for what you would pay I would have jumped on them. I don't think you will be sorry. I drive mine Parasounds Halo amps and am very happy.

I liked the Vipers very much. They just did not fill the room and did not have that much base. The Montanas are large and have much more of a presence. I traded in the Bat 75Se and got the solid state Bat250. Theoretically it was a step down, but the tubes were too hot and I have a tube pre amp, dac, and cd player and did not want to worry about trying to figure out which tubes were causing a problem when the time came.

I am very happy with the setup. Next is a power conditioner.

Any thoughts on any of the Montana line for smaller rooms, nearer front wall placement? I've been intrigued by the Montanas, but they do run large (the PBN site lists the EPX at a "mere" 150 lbs), and I've a limited room. John

It is not how heavy they are, but how wide and deep. See if the dimensions are good for your room. Call up the company and speak to the owner. He is a very nice guy.
