I’ve got these same EP4.7s among many others. Would love to see a full review on them. So very little content available for these! Subbing just for this!
Very nice looking! My setup is similar but I have my PC and 32" monitor integrated to my rig. Near field listening on large scale speakers sounds so damn good!
Actually Clayton Shaw did not design that speaker. Clayton used to own that company. It was sold to Walter Lederman and that model was designed by a guy in Canada. It also measures like crap, and uses super cheesy parts, and sounds horrible. So I am sure Clayton would not like seeing his name attached to it.
Good info! Thanks for the context. I assure you it doesn’t sound like crap, although everything sounds like crap to someone. They are a tad to forward and bright for my liking tho, and our ABX/LDA baffles destroy them on basically all fronts. 😊😊
@@abxaudiophiles No offense, but if you are listening to them in that empty room then you haven't heard them. Not that you are missing much, but you are just hearing room reflections. They already have a frequency response that has a 10 to 12db range of variance with a lot of brightness in the top end. In that room, with zero room treatment and poor placement, they will have a smeared sound from the wall reflections, some out of phase cancellation, and some pretty big peaks. I bet the in room response has a variance of 15 to 20db. No speaker should ever be reviewed in an empty room like that, but an open baffle speaker especially needs to be further out from the wall, away from the corners, and they really need absorption and diffusion all across that front wall and side walls.
Agreed in most cases. Low level, near field eliminates some things. But yea, we will move these down to the main room as well. All good buddy. Less rules. More listening 😊😊😊
Less rules, more open discussion................ I know I've been asking, but no one gives an in-sarcastic explanation. I would like to understand why people put their gear on a shelf 2 inches off the ground or on the ground & place gear right between the loudspeakers. Do turntables get less vibration between loudspeakers? Do micro-phonic tube amplifiers perform better next to woofers? Do amplifier manufacturers recommend gear should be stacked there? Does it make a better thumbnail for posting? What's the logic? Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
I think for most it’s just “do as I see”. Most people for convenience more than anything utilize the stereo center approach. Also depends on room I suppose really. Ideally you would want your equipment in whatever spot had the least resonance. But that’s not always ideal for many reasons, most based on looks and WAF…. Great topic for discussion.
Interesting open baffle speaker design....but it gets a bit confusing! As some open baffles designs are just big square or oblong baffle boards... but the baffles on these speakers are more shaped to the upper driver? As I'm looking into doing a DIY speaker ...does one shape have more advantage than the other?
Check out my other baffle videos for sure. 👍🏼. What I’ve found is the smaller the baffle can be the more cohesion and clarity you get in the soundstage, but at a sacrifice of the size and depth of the soundstage. And vice versa with a larger baffle. I much prefer my 2’ wide by 4’ high ABX/LDA baffles.

Welcome. 🙏🏼
Those speakers are a work of art! 😮😮😮
They’re super nice. 😊
Very cool setup! Yes, would be great to get your impressions on how the EP’s compare to your customer builds - albeit different animals 🙏🏼👍🏼
Few days in, our ABX/LDA Baffles are far superior on almost all aspects of sound reproduction.
@@abxaudiophiles I was suspecting as much. I’m going to venture into one of your amazing builds at some point 🙏🏼

I totally agree!! Cheers.
Nice system. Can't wait to see the final reviews. Thank you.
Thank you sir… 😊😊😊
