Impression, new from EMPTek


Wow,... them is some pur'dy speakers. Wonder what they sound like? Can't find much info or specs on them. Anyone have any info? Can't even find a name,... guessing they are going to be called "Impression".



Anyone?

Still not a whole lot of info out there about these,... I did find that they are a 3 way 4 driver design and will likely be called Impression and rumor has it they may be available for about $1200 pr.

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


Looks like these are finally in production and ready to ship. And the price? WOW! an introductory price of $400 a pr.
Now I really would like to hear them. Looks like the final production model has some minor changes but they still look great. Waiting patiently for the reviews to start rolling in.

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


The introductory pricing on these over @ Audioholics is just sick. I think they have a reveiw in the works. Assuming that they get positive reviews (like most RBH products typically do)... they are probably the best deal on the internet. I can't imagine that they are making anything at all with this special pricing. Just probably looking to get the word out and improve consumer recognition/confidence with the EMP name. Wish I was in the market for an additional system.

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


I just ordered them!

I just hope they were the 'better' choice over the PSB B25's that I really, really wanted.

Bring'em on!!

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


I have owned higher end (cannot remember the model) PSB towers in the past. I currently use an RBH MC series based system in the living room. Both are great products! At that price point though, the EMTEK product is a waay better deal. I like the MC series stuff so much I would buy them blind without question.

Allan - notice you are in ATX also.
Not sure what part of town, but when I get the Emteks we can hookup and compare our two set of speakers and see what kind of results we get.

4-ears are better then 2

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


Absolutely. I'm in south Austin. I would love to hear those speakers. The RBH MC series i'm running downstairs are in-wall, so they'll be a bit difficult to compare... but I have some other interesting products that I was looking to do a comparison on anyhow. I've got a rocket 850 based system as well as a JTR triple8 based system in the media room right now (just changing over). Would love to get a second opinion on that camparo.

Re: Impression, new from EMPTek


I just came across a post about these- intro price ends nov 30. What are your thoughts/experience with them? What are you driving them with, etc?
