EPOS/ELS-303 MINI-TOWER LOUDSPEAKERS (Pr)

The ELS 303 is the latest speaker in the award winning ELS series from Epos. Combining the sonic strengths of the ELS-3 bookshelf speaker with an additional woofer, this 2 ½ way floor-standing speaker now covers a much wider frequency range, providing the bottom end only a floor standing speaker can deliver.

The ELS-303 features the Epos Swift tweeter and Lightning 130 midrange driver with improvements to the cross-over and midrange linearity. Epos has also developed a new Lightning 130 woofer, based upon the same chassis as the Lightning 130 midrange. The woofer is coupled to the rest of the speaker in a 2 ½ way fashion with a high linearity crossover which rolls off at 100Hz. This combines with the low frequency output of the midrange to give added power handling to the bass, while maintaining a very slim front baffle, which improves imaging at high frequencies.

The cabinet has the same footprint as the ELS-3 but the height is 33 ½”, including the plinth but not spikes. This brings the tweeter up to the optimum listening height to the user, when seated. The midrange section is not ported. The woofer section is braced and sealed off from the midrange section and is tuned with a port to 47Hz, which determines the lower cut-off frequency of 43Hz for the speaker.

To enable you to connect the bass driver separately from the midrange and tweeter, a gold plated bi-wiring terminal is used. Metal links join the upper and lower sections together and can be removed by the user to allow bi-wiring.

“The point is that these speakers go right after the soul of the music in a way that is refreshingly direct and devoid of typical audiophile hoopla. But for the elusive combination of sophisticated midrange magic, dynamite imaging, and substantial though not quite full-range bass, the Epos ELS-303s are tough to beat at their price!”

NOTE: This speaker is also available in Black.
