Guillaume, I apologise, I must have missed this post. That link it to what I have, or at least the latest version of what I have. There are 3 Goldmund speaker modules in the Epilog series, 1, 2 and 3. The 1 can be bought as a full range speaker. An Epilog 2 pair adds a bit of extra bass (from 34 Hz -3dB to 26Hz) and more power handling.
The next step is to add an Epilog 3 as a subwoofer, and the final step is to add further pair of Epilog 1s and another Epilog 3, they are then set up with Epilog 3 on the bottom, Epilog 1 next, Epilog 2 on its side and then the second pair of Epilog 1s upside down on top. For the home theatre system the lower Epilog 1s are used in mono as a phantom centre channel.
Hope that explains! They are now offered as active speakers with digital inputs as well, I believe.
Mine are the original passive models. Interestingly they have a filter on the input which does a very similar thing to the boxes on MIT and Transparent speaker cables, if I understand correctly.

Was stereo depth good when you were using only one 250?
I didn't notice, to be honest. I mainly used the 250 with my horn speakers which have less precise imaging than box speakers anyway (IME) it was when I connected to the Epilogs I noticed the stereo image on the Q-sound recorded Amused to Death CD which had been astonishing with the D-Premier was much flatter and in the plane of the speakers.
I could do some experiments but I like listening to music and I loathe and hate sound quality evaluations of kit so something needs to bug me for me to put the tedious effort into comparing sound quality!
