Champions again! What Hi-Fi? Awards the Epos ES-7N with the prestigious Award for the best standmount loudspeaker in it’s price bracket. The speaker has received a glowing review from What Hi-Fi?, earning a five-star rating and further cementing its reputation as the most capable standmount loudspeaker in its class. The review praises not only the speaker’s sound quality but also its unique ability to perform exceptionally well in real-world listening environments.
A key focus of the review is the ES-7N’s innovative placement-adjustment switch, developed by Karl-Heinz Fink and the Epos team. This allows the speaker to maintain a balanced tonal presentation whether used on stands away from walls or placed close to a wall, on a shelf, or even inside a bookshelf—something rarely achieved successfully in compact loudspeaker design.
Sonically, What Hi-Fi? describes the ES-7N as a clear, forthright and expressive performer, praising its rhythmic drive, dynamics and ability to organise large amounts of musical information into a coherent and engaging presentation. Despite its compact dimensions, the reviewer was impressed by the speaker’s bass control and low-frequency authority, noting that it sounds remarkably full-bodied and confident for its size.
The review concludes that the ES-7N is a rare combination of high-end performance and everyday practicality, describing it as “small, hugely capable and surprisingly unfussy in use.” For listeners with limited space who refuse to compromise on sound quality, the ES-7N is presented as one of the most compelling options currently available.
