    This is the stunning new Eos ES14N in Walnut.

    Absolutely stunning speakers, well worth waiting the 40 years since the original.

    On XF stands because I couldn't access their own single pillar stands at this time. The custom stands do sound good and look very smart.

    They look good Dave, and very, very good reviews, and at a good price point, could be tempting.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    No, not much like the originals which by today's standards are closed in and rough. Modern drivers, especially tweeters are far more advanced.

    The ES14N is fast, clean and punchy with a very natural mid band. I have been struggling to find a brand to fill the holes in my speaker portfolio (3) and now these have done it. Well pleased.
