{"title":"EPOS","description":"\u003cp\u003eEpos is a British speaker brand building bookshelf and floorstanding speakers for stereo reproduction – today developed by Karl-Heinz Fink. The ambition remains the same as it was in the eighties: a coherent, open sound that carries the music instead of pushing individual frequency ranges to the front. No storm of effects, no spec-sheet world record – just speakers you still enjoy listening to even after three hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Epos range at HD Zürisee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/regallautsprecher\"\u003eBookshelf speakers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e – the compact ES-7N for smaller rooms, the larger ES-14N for fully grown stereo systems in small to medium-sized rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/standlautsprecher\"\u003eFloorstanding speakers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e – the ES-28N as a 3-way tower for larger rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/lautsprecher-staender\"\u003eStands and accessories\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e – the Epos stand matched to the ES-14N.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Epos suits you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decision almost always runs through the room, not the budget. In smaller rooms the ES-7N plays surprisingly grown-up and tolerates little distance from the wall – it even has a switch on the crossover to adapt it to near-wall placement. The ES-14N wants a bit more air and rewards that with noticeably more substance in the mid-range. If you have around 25 m² or more to fill, reach for the ES-28N – below that, the bass quickly becomes too much of a good thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond rule of thumb: bookshelf speakers belong on solid stands at ear height, not on the sideboard.

Factor in a decent \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/alle-verstaerker\"\u003eamplifier\u003c\/a\u003e and the stands as part of the deal – that belongs to the equation with good bookshelf speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need the original stands for the bookshelf speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not required, but they make sense. What matters is that the tweeter sits at ear height and the stand doesn't resonate along with the music. The Epos stand is matched exactly to the ES-14N and can be bolted to it; but any other stable stand of the right height will also do the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits Epos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES series is uncritical and runs on the vast majority of hi-fi amplifiers. That said, these speakers aren't efficiency wonders – an amplifier with a bit of power reserve into four ohms brings more enjoyment than a very small one. Tell us what you have, and we'll check the combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Epos speakers delivered in pairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, all Epos speakers in the shop are pairs – so you get two boxes.

Height and coupling are part of the tuning; the soundstage only locks in on a stable stand at ear height. Epos recommends a stand height of 515 millimetres. A shelf or a wobbly sideboard costs you precision, bass definition and spaciousness. You hear that immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much wall clearance does the ES-14N need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 40 to 50 centimetres to the rear. The bass-reflex port sits on the back and is tuned to 38 Hz; too close to the wall and the bass thickens up while the soundstage closes in. With a bit of air behind it, it plays clean, dry and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ES-14N suitable for bi-wiring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, bi-wiring isn't provided for. The back carries a single-wiring terminal for 4 mm banana plugs, made in Germany, deliberately kept low-mass.

With 87 dB sensitivity and an average impedance above 6 ohms, the ES-14N is an easy-going load; the minimum is 4.3 ohms.

It's passive and therefore needs an AV receiver or a power amp with enough control. For movie bass below 40 Hz, adding a subwoofer makes sense; as a pure music system, it doesn't need one.

The column isn't a steel tube but a laminated wood beam made of four glued layers, joined with the same damping adhesive used in the speaker cabinet itself.

A sideboard reliably turns a very good monitor into a mediocre one. Third-party stands around 55 centimetres also work according to Epos, but skip the fixed bolted connection. For other stand-mount speakers, the stand is only a partial fit, since its height and bolt pattern are calculated for the ES-14N.

The column is a solid laminated wood beam of four glued layers rather than a hollow tube. Damping comes from the wood, the glue, and the bitumen layer in the top plate.

A normal speaker cable with pre-fitted banana plugs is all you need.

Up to about 25 square metres, you don't need a bigger box. If it stands close to the wall or on a shelf, set the switch at the terminal to the lower position, and the balance between bass, mids and treble stays coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ES-7N suitable for turntables?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery much so, since it reproduces fine dynamics and timing cleanly. What matters is the chain in front of it: a phono preamp matched to the cartridge, and an integrated amplifier that stays stable at 4 ohms.
