Since its founding in 1983 by Robin Marshall, EPOS has stood for exceptional loudspeaker designs and groundbreaking innovations. Whether under the leadership of Mordaunt-Short (1988–1999) or later Michael Creek (1999–2020), the brand has consistently distinguished itself through uncompromising sound quality and outstanding engineering.
In 2020, a new chapter began: Karl-Heinz Fink, renowned developer and head of Fink Audio Consulting, took over EPOS with a clear vision: to preserve the essence of the brand while achieving a new level of sound through the most advanced technologies.
Fink follows an approach that Robin Marshall already advocated in the 1980s: developing loudspeakers not out of nostalgia, but using the best available knowledge and innovative methods. Not simply copying the past – but pursuing a consistent sonic evolution.
At High End 2022, EPOS celebrated the premiere of the first loudspeaker of the new era: the ES-14N. This model remains true to the tradition but has been newly conceived with the latest technology:
At the request of many music lovers, Karl-Heinz Fink developed the ES-7N – a compact “EPOS” that, at just 290 x 200 x 270 mm (HxWxD), fits even into the smallest spaces.
The EPOS ES-14N marks the restart of the EPOS brand under new ownership and the technical leadership of a legend in loudspeaker design – Karl-Heinz Fink.
At High End 2024, EPOS presented its latest masterpiece: the ES-28N.
With the new generation of loudspeakers, EPOS impressively demonstrates that traditional values and the most advanced acoustic technology are not opposites – but unite to create a new level of sound.
Experience loudspeakers that not only have a history, but also shape the future.
IDC Klaassen is responsible for the distribution of EPOS in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The EPOS ES-14N marks the relaunch of the EPOS brand under new ownership and technical direction by renowned loudspeaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink.
Drawing on decades of industry experience and state-of-the-art measurement facilities, the ES-14 concept has been re-engineered to achieve a level of performance that was simply not possible when the original design was introduced more than 40 years ago.
The result is a high-performance stand-mount loudspeaker that combines classic British acoustic principles with modern engineering and precision manufacturing.
The ES-14N delivers a refined yet engaging presentation with remarkable clarity and control.
It creates a stable and clearly defined soundstage with realistic spatial imaging and impressive precision. Voices and instruments are reproduced with exceptional transparency, allowing subtle musical nuances to emerge naturally.
At the same time the loudspeaker offers powerful dynamics and a confident, well-balanced tonal character. The presentation remains precise and realistic while maintaining a strong sense of musicality.
Highly detailed without becoming overly analytical, the ES-14N achieves a rare balance between accuracy and listening enjoyment.
The ES-14N reflects a careful blend of heritage and modern loudspeaker engineering.
Every aspect of the design – from the drive units to the cabinet construction and crossover design – has been developed with the goal of achieving a natural and coherent sound.
Placed on the specially designed stands and paired with a high-quality amplifier, the ES-14N reveals a level of performance that is remarkably balanced, dynamic and musically engaging.
High-performance two-way stand-mount loudspeaker
Exceptional clarity and natural tonal balance
Powerful dynamics with controlled bass performance
Highly precise soundstage and spatial imaging
Carefully engineered cabinet and crossover design
Designed for use with dedicated ES-14N stands
Outstanding musical engagement across all genres
The ES-14N combines transparency, dynamic authority and natural tonal colours in a way that few compact loudspeakers can achieve.
For listeners seeking a high-end compact loudspeaker with outstanding clarity, strong bass performance and exceptional imaging, the ES-14N stands among the finest options available.
“Perhaps the best a bookshelf loudspeaker can be …”
Relaunching EPOS inevitably meant revisiting the brand’s most iconic model – the ES-14. The original ES-14 was a two-way loudspeaker housed in a generously sized, traditionally styled cabinet designed specifically for stand mounting.
The guiding principle behind the new development was a classic, straightforward approach – free from lifestyle trends and focused entirely on the elements that truly influence sound quality.
Examining the original ES-14 revealed a number of interesting design choices. The loudspeaker used a 7-inch bass-midrange driver featuring a polypropylene cone and an underhung voice coil design. The voice coil employed a powerful magnet and multiple windings, resulting in a comparatively heavy assembly. This design characteristic contributed to the driver’s distinctive roll-off behaviour in the frequency response.
Another notable detail was the unusual size of the driver itself. It did not correspond to a standard industry format – being slightly larger than a typical 6.5-inch driver, yet smaller than a conventional 8-inch unit.
Interestingly, this unconventional size proved advantageous. It allowed the loudspeaker to deliver a stronger low-frequency performance similar to an 8-inch driver, while maintaining the midrange character and agility more typical of a 6.5-inch unit.

The third model in the new generation of EPOS loudspeakers is the ES-28N – a full-sized three-way floorstanding loudspeaker that convincingly combines neutrality, musicality and solid engineering.
Rather than impressing through artificial tonal colouration, the strength of this loudspeaker lies in its ability to reproduce musical performances with honesty, scale and authority at virtually any listening level.
The bass performance is one of the defining strengths of the ES-28N. Its dual 7-inch bass drivers, featuring straight-profile cones and reinforced dust caps, deliver low frequencies that are fast, powerful and tightly controlled.
With large orchestral recordings the bass foundation feels effortless, confident and expansive – particularly striking in large-scale works such as Mahler’s Symphony No. 7.
The midrange section benefits from the bass-midrange driver used in the ES-7N, providing excellent coherence and a natural tonal balance. The tweeter, identical to the one used in the ES-14N, is known for its smooth, detailed and fatigue-free treble reproduction. Clarity remains a defining characteristic, even at higher listening levels, without any sense of hardness.
The ES-28N produces a large, stable and immersive soundstage. Thanks to its generous sweet spot, placement is less critical than with many other high-end loudspeakers.
Imaging remains precise yet never artificially sharpened or exaggerated, ensuring a listening experience that feels both realistic and enjoyable.
Listeners seeking a neutral presentation that remains lively and engaging will find the ES-28N particularly appealing.
The loudspeaker sounds modern, refined and precise while remaining faithful to the EPOS tradition without relying on nostalgia. Listening remains effortless thanks to the wide sweet spot and relatively forgiving placement requirements.
Its tonal balance is carefully judged – neither overly warm nor analytically cool, but positioned in an ideal balance between precision and musicality.
