    Arrow EMP E5Ti Impression Series Speakers - Unbelievable Value

    The Impression line is, without a doubt, some of the best looking speakers to come out of the EMP/RBH camp in our opinion. Offered in gloss black or gloss red burl, the finish of the speakers is stunning. We were further floored when we learned that the list price of the E5Ti's would be $730 with an introductory price OF JUST $400. Yes, that is NOT a typo. At that price we fully expect the EMP Impression E5Ti Tower speakers to leave burn marks as they literally fly off the shelves.

    I don't care WHAT he says... $400/pair has got to be a typo...

    I don't really need a pair of these. I was, however, going to be looking for something around the 1st of the year for another system. I may go ahead and jump on this even though money is tight and I wasn't planning on doing this right now.

    I don't mean to be rude, but there's a small typo in the conclusion of the link. It says pure shook instead of shock.

    As noted in the other thread, the price really is shocking, and if the performance equals that then it's a double whammy. I look forward to more impressions.
    My journey to find the "perfect" speaker

    No matter what measurements tell us, a loudspeaker isn't good until it sounds good. – Dr. Floyd Toole

    Good speakers generally sound good in most rooms. It's only below the transition frequency (300 Hz or so depending on the size of the room) where the room largely determines how good the speaker sounds, and there judicious placement, equalization and multiple subwoofers can fix those problems. - Dr. Sean Olive

    This is an introductory price (dealer cost) they are offering to flood the market with fan boys I don't expect it will last long else nobody will make any money

    I think this is the point for their aggressive pricing in a weak economy. How many others besides soundman are now thinking of jumping on these to cash in on this deal. I think EMP is on to something with this strategy.

    Default EMP Special

    I've been looking for a pair of good bookshelf and was contemplating the Usher S520s but for the same price, you're telling me I can get a tower?

    So, how do they sound?

    I bought the RBH TK-5CT speakers based on Tom's review and absolutely love them. I wonder how they would compare to these EMP speakers.
