This Episode® 700 Series Tower Speaker brings all of the best features that our 700 series line has to offer, in a beautiful tower design. High-gloss black finish and discrete, out-of-sight dual bottom ports make it an elegant tower that will blend with any home furnishings, and this full-range speaker is perfect for two-channel stereo setup or front left and right speakers in a home theater system. Supplied with both rubber feet and spikes for hardwood or carpeted concrete floor installations, you’ll appreciate the clarity and detail produced at a low volume level, and a wide, natural soundstage at the high end. Incorporating high-quality driver materials with our unique NCS woofer material, catenary dome tweeters, and dual 6-½” woofers offers remarkable performance time and time again.
NCS Woofer Material
We’ve combined the strength of Kevlar® with the natural damping qualities of paper in a unique woofer material. A multi-step drying process during manufacturing enables these drivers to retain a natural, open cell structure that results in well-damped, neutral acoustic characteristics. This speaker features two 6 1/2-inch versions of this driver, further enhancing low-frequency performance.
Bass Response
Like all speakers in the ES-700 series, this one utilizes a paper cone with Kevlar® woofer for quick, accurate bass. Low-frequency response is further enhanced with two precision-tuned tapered down firing ports. The net result of this work: Bass that has no right coming from such a small tower.
Catenary Dome Tweeter
Most dome tweeters are spherical, but oblong (catenary curve) shape of this tweeter produces more off-axis acoustic energy. The translation: a wider, more engaging soundstage with an open, forward sound.
Cabinet Construction
There’s no shortcut in creating a rock-solid cabinet; it takes heavy materials like the ¾” MDF used in this speaker as well as internal bracing. And a rock-solid cabinet doesn’t resonate and create unwanted distortion and coloration of the sound.
Furniture-Quality Finish
A multi-layer painting and clear-coat finish provide this dynamic speaker with a rich, glass-like finish. Available in black, and combined with the modern aesthetics of the cabinet design, these attractive speakers compliment any décor.
Engineered for Performance
The goal of engineering is to produce a product that is greater than the sum of its parts. Outstanding driver voicing and a specifically engineered 2nd order crossover network ensure precise, responsive performance and separate the ES-700 from mass-produced alternatives.
