EPI 'M' speakers?

[Tapehead47]

There's a pair of EPI 'M' speakers in the local rag for $100. I can't remember the name the M stands for: Murdock, Mundane, Mudlark? I'm sure somebody out there in AKville knows.

Any advice?

Ah, no. Sorry.

M-what?

Most EPIs are quality speakers. I've read, however, that Winslow Burhoe was not pleased with the T/E line. This doesn't make it a bad line, though- just not to his personal liking.

any pics of this one?

"M" stands for "Model".

M 50, M 100, M 110, M 150... at least on the early EPIs. Then came M 100V or M 100W (Vinyl or Walnut veneer).

Actually, 'M' stood for "module"... ie, the "Burhoe Module" consisting of (usually) the 8" woofer paired with the inverted-dome tweeter.

M100s, M150s and such had ONE module... the M200, M400 and M1000 had multiple modules on different faces of the cabinet ("omni-directional").

ANYWAY!!!...call me an idiot. Can't remember what the 'M' stood for, but it doesn't matter anymore. The speakers are sold, I think, cause the ad is gone. Also, I just made a deal on a pair of Klipsch Fortes.
Thanks for trying Gordon and all. If I find the old ad I'll let you know what the 'M' was. Nobody's got it right so far, this I'm sure of.
