The Epicure Twenty incorporates superior linearity, excellent dispersion and nearly perfect system phasing. The Epicure Twenty delivers flat, undistorted linear frequency response from 35 - 20,000 Hz.
The floor-standing Epicure Twenty speaker is designed with a front-firing module and an angled top-firing module. Even in the design of the Twenty's cabinetry sound was the single, overriding consideration. The two modules work together to create a sound field. It combines direct sound (radiating from the front module) with reflected sound (from the top module, which not only radiates sound itself, but also angles the sound across your ceiling, which reflects it back to you).
Twenty Tweeters
Here are two of Epicure's 1-inch , air-spring tweeters, each one swept, graded and selected for use in this top line, each pair matched for compatibility.
There's a balanced, low-mass voice-coil assembly. Not centered semi-perfectly, but centered perfectly. And not fixed with the usual silicone, but fixed with a vastly superior substance, a space-age fluid that no-one else in the business uses. The result is lower distortion in the midrange, particularly noticeable in the voices. And the tweeters produce nearly hemispherical dispersion across most of the audible range.
Twenty Wofers
The Epicure Twenty uses two unique, low-mass woofers. Their low-vacuum deposit cones are light and stiff.
The woofers are individually checked for resonance and, like the tweeters, graded and matched for performance compatibility. You get a smoother, more accurate bass. The usual resonance and heaviness of the low notes is eliminated. And it's possible to really heart their individual bass instruments, not just "bass"
