Summary:
I have now had the pleasure of listening to Montana EPS for 3 months and does it get any better than this? The size and depth of the sound is absolutely to die for, and the dynamics are as good as it gets for a dynamic speaker! And to top it of the midrange and highs are wonderfully transparent and the holographic presenteation, well you could walk around in there for hours! I have been searching for my "last" speakers for some time, trying B%W 801 and 802, Dynabel Euforia, Response Art, Patos Symphony, Audio Physics virgo 2 and 3, Martin Logan CLS to mention a few, and none of them filled me with such musical satisfaction as Montana EPS. They master the largest Mahler symphonies and the smallest trios with dynamic presentastion and intimicy when required. And of cours the soul of the music! If you like the sound to be real and as dynamic as the real thing, look no futher. Montana EPS has it all and for a very reasonable prize!
