Montana EPX The MONTANA EPX can reproduce an earth-shaking, but remarkably controlled and defined bass response. You will physically be able to feel the sub octaves to below 20 Hz. The EPX utilizes a total of 8 ea. 10" bass drivers a pair, mounted in isobaric chambers, thereby reducing distortion with 50 % in the bass region. The bass reproduction is so unstrained and so controlled, regardless of dynamic outburst, that you will have to experience it to believe it. The EPX eliminates the need for subwoofers, which generally cause severe integration difficulties. Still, the bass response is very neutral and linear, and never exaggerated. If the recorded material contains little bass, little bass is what you will get. A recording with heavy bass lines will always be reproduced with the correct fundament in the lower frequencies. No loudspeaker with the same price tag offers the same degree of unstrained, defined and precise sub octave reproduction as the EPX does. In fact, twice as expensive speakers generally cannot compete with the EPX in terms of bass control and definition. Microscopic overtones and undertones from instruments generating low frequent sonic waves will be extremely well pronounced by the EPX' 8 ea. 10" bass drivers, which have approximately the same membrane surface as 4 ea. 15" woofers. A hard strike on a bass drum will hit you with a sonic realism you have hardly experienced before.

The EPX stands only 44" tall, but weighs an impressive 182 kg a pair, indicating an exceptional build quality. The cabinet is extremely stiff. No resonances will ever disturb the musical presentation. Only world-class drivers and components are used.

Of course, the MONTANA EPX offers more than just unparalleled bass reproduction. The EPX's brilliant focus and transparence generates a very realistic soundstage, indeed. The custom spec 2 ea. 5,25" ScanSpeak mid-range drivers per cabinet of the highest quality are mounted in rigid sub-chambers, flanked by a 1" custom spec ScanSpeak Revelator tweeter, ensuring oustanding dynamics and a floating and very present sound reproduction in the mid-range and tweeter section. The MONTANA EPX is very neutral and can reproduce the finest details and the most powerful passages totally unstrained, no matter which type of music you feed it with.

The cross-over is a 24 dB per octave design, utilizing only the very best parts available, including metallized polypropylene capacitors. Maximum linearity and a completely seamless musical experience in what you will find if you encounter the MONTANA EPX.

MONTANA EPX is surprisingly easy to install in a wide variety of different sized rooms.

Chuck Bruce, The Audiophile Voice, about the MONTANA EPX: "Truly remarkable!"

"Of course this is what it's all about, the ultimate goal, whether for audiophiles or ordinary music lovers. Placed up against the numerous loudspeakers in the over-$10,000 range, I think that the EPX beats 'em all in low bass giver their price point. Way too many loudspeakers, at way higher prices, are simply outclassed by this loudspeaker. All the while, the EPX presents midrange and treble faithful to the music without distracting discontinuities. To this fine group of attributes, I tip my hat in sincere respect. Congratulations, Mr. Noerbaek. Indeed, you've got another winning speaker on your hands. Chuck Bruce, The Audiophile Voice, Nov. 2003."
