A step closer to reality
Epicure is the division of Epicure Products. Inc. With the responsibility for spawning state-of-the-art. Audio products. That puts us in a luxurious position. We're concerned only with sonic perfection . Not price.
Our obvious goal, then is reality. The reproduction of sound exactly as it was played and sung.
To accomplish that we've designed entirely new assembly tools, jigs, and fixtures. Certain critical procedures that could never be done perfectly by hand, are now being done perfectly. The result of our efforts is a new generation of speakers of remarkable accuracy. The Epicure Five is our smallest speaker. But because it utilizes the same basic components as our larger models, it has a power response that's superior to that of any other speaker in its size or price range.
The Epicure Five
In 1967, Epicure introduced the industry's first loudspeaker with true linearity, or accuracy. Ever since, audio critics, engineers, and independent consumer testing laboratories have consistently given our speakers the highest ratings in the industry.
The Epicure Five offers extreme linearity, excellent dispersion, and nearly perfect system phasing. Its frequency response is essentially flat and undistorted from 50 to 20,000 Hz.
With the Five, you've got a speaker small enough to fit practically anywhere in a room, but powerful enough to fill it with the full dynamic range of the music. The Five offers a level of sonic transparency and natural clarity that's totally unexpected from a speaker its size and price.
That's why the company that manufactures the ultimate in loudspeakers, the Tower, offers the model Five with equal pride.
The Epicure Five Tweeter
Here is a 1-inch air-spring tweeter unlike any other in the industry.
It has balanced, low-mass voice coil assembly. Not centered semi-perfectly with silicone, but centered perfectly and automatically with a remarkable space-age fluid that no one esle in the business uses. This unique tweeter produces lower distortion in the mid-range, particularly noticeable in the voices. And nearly hemispherical dispersion across most of the audible range.
The Epicure Five Woofer
The Epicure Five has a specially fabricated controlled-excursion 6-inch low mass woofer. Its low-vacuum deposit cone is light and stiff. The woofer offers remarkable openness and dispersion. A smoother more accurate bass without the usual resonance and heaviness of the low notes. With this woofer, it's possible to really hear indivdual bass instruments, not just "bass"
The Epicure Five Uncompromising 10-Year Warranty
If the Epicure Five were anything less than we say it is, we'd be reluctant to stand behind it. If you return your Epicure Five to our factory, or any authorized warranty station, we'll provide free parts and labor to correct any original manufacturing defect.
