Epos Acoustics has announced a new flagship loudspeaker, the Epos Acoustics Encore 50.

 

Specs on the new floorstander from Epos Encore 50 have them tipping the scales at a whopping 108 pounds including plinths. The Encore 50s are tall at 48 inches with plinths and spikes. Internally the 4 ohm 89dB Epos Encore 50 is capable of 500w peaks, is recommended for amplifiers from 50 to 600 watts, and reproduces 28-30k Hz, so they will be more than capable of satisfying two channel listeners without the addition of a subwoofer. The Encore 50 is a three way design, with crossover points at 250 Hz and 3500 Hz. The Epos Encore 50 sports two 8.66" kevlar/carbon fiber/paper woofers, a 6.22" midrange of the same material, and a 1" metal dome tweeter. The midrange is isolated in the enclosure, and the Encore 50 allows the user to attenuate the midrange and tweeter output in 1.5dB increments to allow for listening room adjustment. The only finish is the familiar Epos cherry.

 

Epos Acoustics have a reputation for making loudspeakers that are extraordinarily neutral at their price point. No price point yet on the Epos Encore 50 floorstanding loudspeaker, but you can be sure that they will offer performance on par with competitive offerings costing much more.
