Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?"


My first "real" stereo system in the late 1970's included a pair of Epicure 10 speakers with a small paper woofer and the EPI inverted Air Spring tweeter. I gave them (and the rest of the system) to a friend upon graduating from grad school, but I kind of wish I still had them to see how they'd stack up against today's gear.
Anybody here own (or still own) EPI's?

I still have my original 1976 EPI 100’s which sound remarkable paired with a Sansui 3300 receiver in a second system.  

I personally know of some still using a stacked pair of EPI 202’s in a vintage Mac system, a pair of EPI 350’s in a vintage Sansui system and a pair of 500’s in a vintage Phase Linear system and they all sound really good.  They are smooth with tight extended bass.

Properly maintained I can’t see any reason to avoid them, and would imagine they are superior to many of today’s “modern” speakers that sport Chinese  made drivers.

I like vintage speakers. AR, EPI, ADVENTs, ALTECS, JBL, etc.. judging from the prices these command, so do a lot of others.
