It looks futuristic but not bad. I like the matched striped wood grain. This big bore 15"er looks beasty and will surely turn the crank of some peeps here.

Took a few minutes to grow on me, it's not so bad. At least, it's different. But I firmly think wood veneer (including vinyl wrap trying to look the part) and plastic/painted metal don't go well together; you either go Genelec or full wood, don't try to mix them.

I find them a work in progress. Not bad looking if you ask me. The rest of the stand in black metal ruin the design.. A tripod or 4-leg-stand of the same color would have been better.

I thought it was Luke Creek who was running the company of his father Mike at the moment?

You are right:
"British speaker brand Epos has been acquired by Karl-Heinz Fink, founder of German speaker designer firm FinkTeam."
