The EPI 100 HAS a "real crossover". The woofer relies on mechanical roll-off at the crossover point, and the tweeter is protected by a 10 uf capacitor. And it works a treat.That ain't a crossover, that is a fullrange driver and a cheap HP fix for the tweeter. Maybe a real crossover can improve them?
Cool speakers though! I wish I had a pair!

ain't that the truth?... The synergy between the tweeter and woofer has seldom been replicated, in the ensuing decades...
I had the opportunity to acquire a beautiful (and fully functional) pair of 1000s a few years back -- I was sorely tempted, but it was before the new house was built, and I really, really, really had no place to put them.The mighty EPI 1000! Our band had a pair of those. We never played in a space that couldn't be filled with sound from those.
The Direct Acoustics speakers, called Silent Sound 2, are being made and sold by Huw Powell, of Human Speakers. Huw also makes what Winslow Burhoe called the speaker he would build, if he had stayed at EPI. I have an early pair of Human 61 speakers, and they live up to the heritage.
If I had that opportunity now, I would rent a storage locker.I had the opportunity to acquire a beautiful (and fully functional) pair of 1000s a few years back -- I was sorely tempted, but it was before the new house was built, and I really, really, really had no place to put them.
