Hi All,

I have recently purchased Musical fidelity M3i and looking for the right speakers.

I have shortlisted Epos as one of the potential brands but have only heard the M12i model.

I have not found a comparison between Epos Epic 2 and Elan 15.

Can any one please suggest me which one should I go for?

Will it have good synergy with M3i?If you have any other suggestion of speakers under 1000$ , it will be very helpful.

 

Thanks...Experts Pls help ....!!!

Neil Gader's TAS review of the M3i suggests the "PSB Image or Imagine B, Focal’s 706V or the Paradigm Studio 10 among others..." All seem to be good starting points.

I heard the MF 3i at the Atlanta Axpona show in 2011 and it was paired with Wharfedale Diamond 10.7s to good effect. In fact, that was my favorite system at the show.

Shouldn't you buy speakers you like and then go after the right amp for them? They are the most important bit in the chain after all.

Yes.That would have been an ideal situation.But due to lack of availibility of amps in my area and also their excessive price (due to import duty) I avoided buying them from India. For example , M3i costs over 2000$ in INDIA  where as the actual price is only $1500.

I got this amp from Malaysia when my parents visited that place for a holiday.

 

Yes now I am trying to Match speakers . $1400 (max)

 

This are the speaker brands available in my place(kolkata,India) .However all models are not present and are only imported on order .I will be able to demo these.

1.Epos

2.Quad

3.Dali

4.Wharfedale

5.PSB

6.Kef

7.Polk

8.Tannoy

9.Elac

10.Jamo.

11.Klipsch

12.Usher

13.Paradigm

 

On other cities ...Monitor Audio ,Proac etc are available ,but I have to do a blind buy ,because I can't demo them.

Oh, I see then!

 

About the price difference, I know how that feels, but trust me, it could be worse. A pair of Dali Concept 2s used to be about $500 in the UK (which is already expensive), but here in Brazil they cost between $1400 and $1600, and a Marantz PM-11S2, which retails for $4K in the US, goes for $9K in the official retailer.

I run my M6i with a pair of Focal 1008 Be stand mounts. They do well. You could look into Focal as an option too.

Have fun listening to them all. Try and take your amp + source to the dealer so you can get a decent impression of each one. (The best would be if they lent them to you for an in-home trial.)
