Dans les prix allant 500 à 1500 euros, c'est ce que j'ai entendu de mieux à ce jour, bien mieux que les B&W concurrentes. Seules les kef gamme Q tiennent la route mais elles manquent de dynamique comparé aux Epos.
Mon revendeur m'a indiqué qu'une nouvelle gamme venait de sortir, la gamme Elan au rapport qualité prix d'après lui hallucinant venant titiller des enceintes deux fois plus chères.
Je rappelle au passage qu Epos et les éléctroniques creek appartiennent à la même boîte et la synergie est parfaite entre les 2 marques.
Il y a 3 gammes:
Epic
Elan
Encore
Dans la région parisienne, Renaissens est revendeur de la marque.
