Speaker advice?

Though this may be too late, I highly recommend the Epos Elan 10. It's an excellent speaker for the money, and compares favorably with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II (I own both). I also have a smaller room and these were the perfect audiophile speaker solution.

I've fallen for Epos since my purchase of the M5 a number of years ago. Before casting judgement, please read Robert Reina's glowing reviews of Epos speakers. I think it's a mistake to disqualify these speakers and this company based on misinformation or lack of auditioning. These truly are outstanding speakers.

Wow, I’m 5 years late in responding! Please accept my apologies, mcanaday. I assumed my comment was the last, and unfortunately no email notifications are sent from this site when new comments are made.

Well, if you do stop by here again, I wonder what speakers you went with for your similarly compact listening space. It may not have been Epos Elan 10, but that’s fine.

In answer to your question, Al was right. The Epos require careful consideration in that an amplifier or receiver that can drive 4 ohm speakers is necessary. But there are quite a few out there that do this pretty well. In my case, I chose the Onkyo TX-8050 receiver. Perhaps not the most high end of electronics. But it does a pretty good job for the price.

In any event, I hope you’re enjoying whatever components you ultimately chose for your system after all these years! 

Cheers!
