EPI A70. Impressed.
I'm officially new to the forum but have learned so much from this community over the years. Thanks! Had to post due to the joy I've found in these little guys. I was setting up a system for my new studio/office and while talking about it, the younger folks all seemed to be a little worried. The... -

Epi 301 crossover.
Hi all, I have a pair of EPI A300’s and m100’s. I love the 100’s, but the 300’s are way too middy and bright. I have to really tweak the eq to listen to them. Has anyone re-vamped the crossover or had this issue? I have re-capped them with the same values. Hoping to get them to have the same... -
Advent Bullnose (A3) VS EPI A120
The Advent’s have been refoamed and the cabs need some love. The EPI look fab, but never been serviced. Can get either for basically the same price ($240 CDN). Have only ever heard the Bullnose’s IRL and that was 30 years ago but they seem to have a serious following. So putting it out... -
EPI 120B woofer foam
Last year I bought a pair of EPI 120B speakers for little money. When I got them home, I tore into them and discovered that someone had replaced the original 10" woofers with Radio Shack Cat. No. 40-1331B drivers. Bah! Well I finally found some replacement woofers. The pair of drivers cost me... -
The joys of system set-up!

So in the meantime, I had been using gear that I planned to sell. However, some of it is selling, and that is giving...- BilboBaggins

Help identifying and restoring Epicure speakers
Hi all! Yesterday an old record store near me had a $1 sale to get rid of old speakers and stereo equipment, and I found a pair of old Epicure speakers that seemed promising enough to restore. Right now I haven't tested any parts for functionality due to being busy with college classes, but I'd... -

Old glue on EPI 70 woofer cones
Trying to refoam a pair of these. The surrounds were almost completely rotted away, easy to remove. There's a thin bead of very old, VERY HARD glue on the edge of the cones. Unresponsive to liberal alcohol treatment, and I'm wary of scraping lest I damage the fairly fragile cone. I've refoamed a... -

A+B volume question
On your average receiver, should the volume level decrease when toggling both (or more) pairs of speakers, A and B? I recently bought a Sony STR-VX200 receiver, 20wpc. A is EPI MT3, B is EPI 50. If I have A playing, then press B the overall level of sound decreases a bit. If I have B playing...- tadmaz

How to access caps on EPICURE Model Fourteen (14)
Trying to find a replacement tweeter for these guys, and decided it was a good time to re-cap. Problem is the circuit board (on which I assume the caps are located) is inside the front baffle, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to access it. There must be a trick, right? Anyone have... -
EPI Masonite Tweeters - The "sinking screw" hole fix
Although they look primitive... the old EPI Masonite Tweeters have a wonderful sound that many consider the true high-point of the EPI model line. They do have one small issue that results from over-torquing the screws and damaging the masonite material. Once you break through the top later...- Fred DuBuron

Driver question, EPI M202 specifically
Hello, I have read all the M202 posts I could find, and poked around other restore threads. I don't see an answer, or I am searching incorrectly. I have finally opened up my M202s to start restoring. I am hoping to just re-cap, clean the dial, and replace the binding posts. If the drivers are... -
EPI M100
I got a pair of these from shopgoodwill.com When the showed up the woofer surrounds were shot, one tweeter was out, and the cabs were so moldy I couldn't bring them in the house. I almost tossed them. But instead I stripped the cabinets and hit them with bleach and water a couple of times and... -

Long throw bass drivers with low power amp?
Thinking about a pair of EPI A70s that have been refitted with long throw woofers. I've read that long throw needs more power and I'm running a Marantz 2215B. Enough to drive the EPIs? Current setup includes Wharfedale W70s and Paradigm Atoms, just curious to hear what EPIs might sound like. -
Crown XLS series
I'm considering pulling the trigger on a used (dirt cheap of course) XLS600 to drive a pair of EPI 202's. Is there any variance b/t the older XLS amps vs. the newer ones that I should be aware of? I'm noticing that the newer XLS amps are at least cosmetically different & some of power ratings...- nniemiec

Epicure M90 Speakers
The 8" drivers need to be replaced in my Epicure M90. Someone removed the drivers and apparently tossed them. Probably only needed new foam. Oh well. Can anyone tell me what the proper ohm rating should be for a replacement? I installed 8 ohm drivers and the balance between the tweeter and... -
EPI Microtower II Crossovers
Picked up a pair of these at a garage sale today. Figured out how to remove the grills to check the drivers (in great shape), but cannot figure out how to get to the crossover, or find out where it actually is, in the enclosure. It wasn’t behind the drivers (as far as I could see). I’m wanting... -

The original gaskets are compressed thin white foam. Should I replace these, or are they adequate? If they should be replaced, what's the cheap/easy solution to this? I have some 1/8" weather stripping available, would that be alright or is there a preferred product/material that's available... -

Hi All, Scored a pair. In fairly good shape, all drivers work, but of course surrounds are gone. I tried to find replacements on an auction site - results seem to be conflicting. Some call for 6 inch foams and others for 6 1/2inch. Looking at the specs - they have 6inch woofers. However... -
