The EPI M50 is one of vintage HiFi's gems. Go ahead, google it. They might still be here. This bookshelf, nicknamed "The Mighty Mite," has a tremendous presentation in small rooms, especially when positioned in the corners. There are very few speakers in this price range that can compete with the M50, regardless of size. Dy-no-mite!

- Liner Notes
EPI's method of avoiding the compromises of sound purity generally accepted for speakers in this range was put their finest and most expensive tweeter along with their highly damped, low resonant 6" woofer in a very small enclosure. In this way, these quality components could become perfectly linear by taking advantage of specific room placements to increase bass response many times. By placing the EPI 50 in, or close to, the corners of the listening room, the sides of the room become an extension of the cabinet strcture and, in doing so, transform the tiny cabinet of "The Mite" into a massive system.
