From the January 2004 issue, Robert J. Reina surveys the Epos ELS-3 loudspeaker, reporting at the outset, "I have not been this excited about an entry-level speaker in years." BJR explains, "In three areas, it exceeded in performance what I've heard from its competition."

Also from the January issue, we file Paul Bolin's take on the Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 loudspeaker. Bolin notes that, although the company has been around for 20 years, "what I was not prepared for was the breadth and depth of the Focus' performance envelope at such a reasonable price."
