EPOS ELS 3C Center Speaker Maple - Tested Fully Working
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you definitely know your speakers!
Very rare opportunity to own an EPOS ELS 3C center speaker in very good, fully tested condition. These were built to acompany the standard ELS 3 bookshelf sets but most people only bought the pair. Subsequently, not many of these sold and not many were made - very difficult to find!
Not many of these around in such good condition and definitely one for a true audiophile. The speaker in the photos is the one that you'll recieve. As you can see from the pics it's in excellent condition. We've fully tested it and it still sounds as clean and clear as the day it was built. We test the speakers in a former church hall and this sounds truly Biblical - MUCH BETTER than I'd expected for an older center speaker!
Not a cheap item so if you haven't already owned one of these before I highly recommend you check some reviews online. Also, there are loads of videos on YouTube if you want to see it in action - this is VERY highly regarded so they have something of a cult following. Bizarrely, they're still much better than 99% of modern/tinny models and have a serious deep bass tone. Ideally designed for home cinema but its definitely good enough to play your music through too.
Details
ELS 3C Center Channel
Measurements: 52 x 19 x 17.5cm
Weight: Approx 7kg
Designed to complement the ELS 3 mini monitor speakers, this new center channel propelled Epos into the home cinema market..
The Epos ELS 3C center channel utilizes the same drive units as the ELS 3 and is therefore ideally matched for use in a home cinema application.
Featuring a 25mm metal dome tweeter with neodymium magnet, together with two 5 ½" woofers, this center channel uses a new die cast aluminium chassis with a cone and surround similar to that being used in the M5 woofer. The Epos logo is embossed on the tweeter faceplate
In designing this center channel, the have introduced an unusual and acoustically advanced crossover which reduces the colouration when two mid/bass units are in close proximity to each other.
Epos ELS Tweeter
The new Epos Swift tweeter uses a 25mm diameter, 40 micron thick, aluminium alloy diaphragm, terminated by a Polyamide suspension. This combination reduces colouration and enables the driver to handle high power without distress. A vented voice coil and magnetic liquid Ferro fluid cooling system improves its power handling ability and helps to smooth its frequency response. Rear cavity loading and a high efficiency Neodymium magnet system focus its transient response and eliminate temporal smearing, giving the Swift impeccable pace, rhythm and timing.
Epos ELS Midrange
The Lightning ELS 130mm midbass driver uses a robust 130mm diameter diecast aluminium chassis, similar to the larger 150mm driver and M130 midbass driver. The cone piston is made from an injection moulded polymer. The rigid chassis provides exceptional detail resolution transient response while the cones unique tapered profile gives improved performance over its bandwidth with the Swift tweeter... The driver will handle high levels cleanly without producing colouration or distortion. The cone piston is terminated with a specially designed positive roll front suspension. A ventilated woven spider rear suspension has been optimized to suit the desired frequency response characteristics of the driver
Condition
Excellent overall condition. The actual speaker parts are mint but as you'd expect with an older set of speakers there a couple of age related knocks - only cosmetic and please check the pics for a closer look:
▪︎ dent in the wood on the top, tight hand corner
▪︎ small crack in the veneet on the underside (non visible)
▪︎ sadly, the grill is not present
I only mention this as I'd rather be totally honest but it really does make no difference to performance or aesthetics!
Most importantly, the cones are still perfect. Overall I'd give it a 9/10 for physical condition but the sound quality easily gets an 10/10
Feel free to ask any questions
