Epic Sound 80 speakers #447623 12/14/2023 9:44 PM

I just purchased these speakers and was asking any information or opinions. I am using them in my theater room and they sound great. Is this a vintage speaker product made by Axiom ? I can't find a way to post photos. They are floor speakers 38" x 10" 12" and say Epic Sound 80 on them. Black in color.

Axiom became a direct-to-consumer company in 2000, and their claim-to-fame were great prices shipped anywhere, a credible return policy, and a design philosophy of neutral loudspeaker sound using National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) based research.

I vaguely remembered the home theater packages changed as speaker models were updated, but these are some early web archives of the Epic 80 specifications.

This is a snapshot from 2001:

Here's a snapshot from 2002:

They're still a great home theater package even by today's standards. They would have been competitive with Paradigm's Signature series, Energy's Veritas series, PSB's Stratus, and Angstrom's Modular series.

Doesn’t look very Axiom to me … Does it say Axiom anywhere on them … think these may be a brand “Epic Sound” … anyone else have an opinion …

It doesn't look Axiom to me either. I understand the confusion, it's hard to differentiate between Acoustic Energy, Acoustic Profiles, or Acoustic Research.

My skillset in finding counterfeits doesn't apply here, I'm just not seeing "Rollex" or "Real reather" labels. smile
