EPOS - ELS-8 BLACK (PR)

Epos ELS-8 - The New, Improved Killer Bookshelf Speaker!

An evolution of the best-selling ELS-3 bookshelf speaker, which had an incredible 6-year run, the Epos ELS-8 is an upgrade in every respect.  This new design has greater transparency, improved dynamic range, wider bandwith and an improved aesthetic.

"The Epos ELS-8 ranks as the best under $500 a pair monitor speaker I've ever heard.  Sonically, the ELS8 punches well above its weight class, it creates a sizable sweet spot that doesn't waver, it images and disappears like a good mini-monitor should.  Unlike many budget-priced speakers, the ELS8's resolving powers are exceptionally good.  My listening notes for the ELS8s are peppered with words such as 'natural' and 'relaxed'.  Their midrange righness reminds me of storied speakers of the past such as the Celestion SL600s and, gasp, the Quad ESL 57s."  Steve Stone Absolute Sound

The ELS-8 has a larger, internally braced, 18mm thick cabinet and removable cloth grille.  The new stylish curved baffle reduces diffraction offering improved imaging and greater resolution, new rear porting lets the ELS-8 sing a little louder and a little deeper.  The excellent 6" ELS mid-woofer makes a reappearance, and Epos developed a new 1" metal dome tweeter for the ELS-8 with smoother and extended high frequency range.  All these improvements taken together significantly improve the performance of this pedigreed bookshelf speaker over its predecessor.
