A 1995 Audio Equipment Authority Review magazine PDF, with a review of my Klipsch Epic CF3's

[Shiva]

For those who might be interested, here is possibly the only professional review I've found, of the KIipsch Epic CF3 speakers by D. B. Keele. I've had mine for over 25 years...
from the 1995 magazine- Audio Equipment Authority... It starts on page 62. Quite a few other articles as well that might catch the eye.

Yep, nice speakers.
It just goes to show we haven't come all that far in speaker system design in 30 years.

I didn't know that Don Keele did loudspeaker reviews for a magazine. Audio is the same magazine that Richard C. Heyser did a review of the Klipschorn in the November 1986 issue, the most informative loudspeaker review that I ever read prior to this one. Looks like Keele followed right in Heyser's line of thinking, adding many more relevant measurements that relate to in-room subjective performance (including phase/group delay response, and IMD).

I wish all loudspeaker reviews were of such quality (esp. Stereophile's). It's a shame that Audio didn't survive into the 21st century. Looks like Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. definitely killed off the wrong audio magazine in 2000...
