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.
