Quality British Monitors

Designed by Robin Marshall, founder of Epos, just before leaving Monitor Audio to launch the Epos brand name. The similarities are there to be seen: same tweeter, same cabinet bracing, same design of bass unit, albeit a bigger one than the ES14.

The cabinet construction, along with lovely real wood veneer is in another league - and was reflected in the price of the day with the Epos ES14’s selling for £299, while the MA852MD’s retailed at £369.

Great condition for its age (late 1980), full working order and never being opened/modified - these are completely original and come with great conditioned grills. Any questions, feel free to contact me. Due to the speakers size and wieight, these are collection only at present.
