Hey, a guy on CG is offering these EPI's for $25 and claims that they are in good condition. However, there appears to be no identifying marks on that back to which model it is. Any thoughts?

Is it worth driving a 2 hour round trip to pick them up?

    Yes, I have owned some EPI and sold them to my brother. He still has them. I like their sound and a lot of people swear by thier inverted tweeters. What the heck, $25? If you don't like them, someone here (me) would likely take them off your hands.

    Excellent, thanks a lot. I figured for $25, it might not be such a bad pick up.

    Roll the dice for your personal enjoyment and audio education. You won't get much more, if anything out of them, but there's a lot to be said for real audio experience.

    Worse case, you killed an afternoon, had a bite of lunch at a hole in the wall BBQ place, and picked up a killer pair of garage speaks. I can think of worse ways to spend a Saturday.
