    Epicure Products International, originally in Newburyport, MA
    They made good to very good speakers for quite a few years; the name was ultimately sold to someone and quality went south.

    www.humanspeakers.com has plenty of information.

    I still have a pair of EPI 1200s from college days (circa 1985). They still rock. I too had to replace the 12" subs - I think it was from the first time my girls played The Spice Girls on them!!! :mad:

    I would suggest personal exploration from time to time Mark.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Should be fine speakers for the price, but demo them first to make sure.

    I have a pair of EPI M50's. They're a small sealed bookshelf with a single tweeter and 6.5" driver. Surrounds on the woofers are rubber, and still in great shape. I'm listening to them right now, actually, as they're my computer speakers.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I would say knowing EPI's reputation and them being $60. I would demo them, if you like them, buy them. But offer $50 though! :D
