EPI 1000
Documentation on the EPI Model 1000 is almost nonexistent. What survives is a single advertising campaign that ran in several audio magazines during 1973. It positioned the 1000 as the flagship of EPI's eight-speaker "Linear Sound" line. In an ad carried by Audio (July 1973, p.29), EPI presented the 1000 as the top end of a range that started at the $55 Model 50. The implication is that if the $1000 speaker didn't tempt you, the company had something at every price point below it. The same advertisement, with nearly identical copy, appeared in High Fidelity (August 1973, p.89) and HiFI-Stereo (July 1973, p.13).
Past the $1000 price and its place as the most expensive model in the 1973 lineup, nothing else has turned up. No technical specifications, driver complement, dimensions or design details have been found. The Archive has no independent review, no service documentation and no enthusiast discussion of the Model 1000. If you own a pair, the Archive would welcome a photograph and any details you can share.
