{"product_id":"epos-es-7n-walnut","title":"Epos ES-7N Bookshelf Speaker, Walnut (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Epos ES-7N is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker with a front-firing bass reflex port and a switchable crossover voicing for free-standing or near-wall placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn walnut, it's the understated version of the family — the one that never has to justify itself in the living room. Technically it's identical to the other finishes. The ES-7N is sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the ES-7N?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the investment consistently goes where it matters. The 130 mm mid\/bass driver has a mica-filled polypropylene cone, a 30 mm voice coil and a dual-magnet motor that cancels stray field and boosts drive force. The 28 mm tweeter comes from the larger ES-14N and deliberately does without ferrofluid, which keeps the temperature in the gap stable and compression low. The whole thing was developed by Karl-Heinz Fink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiming and texture. The ES-7N makes rhythms tangible without ever pushing itself forward, resolves detail cleanly and keeps dense arrangements sorted. At 29 cm cabinet height, the lower midrange is remarkably stable — that surprises most people the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the ES-7N for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: ideal for small and medium living rooms, on stands as well as on a shelf, and for anyone who values accuracy over sheer volume. Less suited to large, semi-open rooms, home cinema with deep-bass ambitions, or amplifiers that struggle at 4 ohms. Honestly: if you mainly want background music, you'll be happier with less effort and expense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very grown-up compact speaker that doesn't put its qualities in the shop window. Award: What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025, Standmount Speakers category. HD Zürisee has been in Wädenswil since 1997 — we'll tell you honestly when the ES-7N is the right choice and when a bigger box makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex bookshelf speaker, passive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid\/bass driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130 mm, mica-filled polypropylene cone, 30 mm voice coil, dual-magnet motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 mm ceramic-coated aluminium dome, ferrofluid-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 Hz – 28,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 dB (free-standing) \/ 89 dB (near wall), 2.83 V \/ 1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ω nominal, minimum 3 Ω at 15 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e sandwich of two 8 mm MDF layers with damping layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass reflex port:\u003c\/strong\u003e curved, with damped venting, front-firing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e two-position in the crossover, operated at the terminal (free \/ near-wall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wiring terminal, 4 mm banana connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended stand height:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 × 29 × 27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.6 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDevelopment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Karl-Heinz Fink, Epos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair of ES-7N, attached grilles, silicone spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the ES-7N and the larger ES-14N?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-7N is the compact version with a 130 mm mid\/bass driver and 29 cm cabinet height. It shares the 28 mm tweeter with the ES-14N, so treble quality is identical. The ES-14N goes deeper and louder, while the ES-7N fits into rooms and shelves where the bigger model wouldn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ES-7N delivered as a single unit or as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pair. A set always consists of two speakers, so there's nothing to double up. Each speaker weighs 7.6 kilograms and measures 20 cm wide, 29 cm high and 27 cm deep. Both cabinets share the same finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the best way to set up the ES-7N?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleanest on stands around 70 cm high, so the tweeter sits roughly at ear height, with 30 to 50 cm of distance from the wall and the switch in the upper position. If it sits on a shelf or right against the wall, choose the lower switch position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ES-7N suitable for home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a front or rear speaker in a smaller setup, yes — as the sole source for effects, less so. For film sound with real weight, you'll want a subwoofer to cover the range below around 50 Hz. For stereo music, it needs no support at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Epos ES-7N at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with us, experience comes before catalogue knowledge.
