Standmount speakers ₹NA
Founded in the early 1980s, Epos was a bit of an engineering maverick, refusing to follow many of the speaker design conventions of the day. Its two standmounters, the mid-range ES14 and cheaper ES11 sibling, delivered exceptional sound quality thanks to a raft of clever engineering solutions. These included ultra-simple crossover networks, highly developed mid/bass drivers designed to roll-off smoothly at the top of their operating range, and cleverly constructed cabinets.
Like the original, the ES14N is a largish two-way standmounter. The two generations both have metal-dome tweeters, polypropylene mid/bass cones and are rear ported. Both driver units are fresh designs specifically for this speaker. The 18cm size of the injection-moulded polypropylene mid/bass unit still echoes that of the original, because it was felt that this size gives a good balance between bass extension and midrange ability compared with the more conventional 20cm and 16.5cm choices that most rivals use.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
