In 1967 Epicure introduced the Model 100. ever since, the top ratings of audio critics, engineers, and consumer testing laboratories have made it a standard in the industry.
Now , after years of research, we 've created a speaker worthy enough to succeed it; the Epicure Ten.
The improvements are not subtle, as you might expect. But dramatic as you can easily hear. We believe the Epicure Ten is the most significant breakthrough in medium-priced speakers in almost a decade.
Tweeter
Here is a 1-inch, air-spring tweeter unlike anything anyone has heard before.
There's a balanced, low-mass voice coil assembly. Not centered semi-perfectly with silicone, but a unique space-age fluid.
No other speaker manufacturer uses it. - Very possibly they'll never want to ; it cost $75 an ounce.
The result is lower distortion in the midrange, particularly noticeable in the voices. And the tweeter produces nearly hemispherical dispersion across most of the audible range.
Woofer
The Epicure Ten has a unique, low-mass woofer. Its low-vacuum deposit cone is light and stiff.
You ger a smoother more accurate bass. The usual resonance and heaviness of the low notes is eliminated. And it's possible to really hear the individual bass instruments, not just bass.
Crossover
The Epicure Ten has a vastly superior electrical crossover. The usual distortion near the crossover frequency is practically non-existent. Mid-range clarity and detail are equally superb.
