History

Epos was founded in 1983 by Robin Marshall. In 1988 Epos was sold to Mordaunt-Short who had been bought by the TGI PLC group in 1987. When the TGI PLC group decided to close the Epos/Mordaunt-Short operations in 1999, the Epos part was sold to Michael Creek, the owner and managing director of Creek Audio Ltd.

In 2020 Creek sold the Epos operation to Karl-Heinz Fink, founder of German speaker designer firm FinkTeam.[1]

Products

Current Epos speakers are split into two ranges, the budget ELS series and the high end Mi series.

gollark: Neither, unless you count "running imagemagick" as A.
gollark: Video compression is very cool, though. It's basically how we have DVDs and streaming services and YouTube.
gollark: I guess so.
gollark: Videos aren't actually as big as equivalent image sequences because of very clever compression algorithms like H.264, VP9 and AV1, but still very large, especially 4K and such.
gollark: Images are *pretty* big, although new lossy compression stuff like AVIF can get really small sizes without horrible quality loss, and videos are gigantic since they're effectively images and audio stitched together at 60 frames a second (well, or 25, or various other ones).
