Epos Ltd
Epos Ltd is a British loudspeaker company that specialises in home cinema and hi-fi speakers.
History and products
Originally founded in 1983 by Robin Marshall, Epos continues to be one of those loudspeaker brands people aspire to own.
In 1999, Michael Creek purchased the brand and having had the opportunity to work closely with Robin Marshall for several years, it became apparent to Michael that there was a great synergy between Creek electronics and Epos loudspeakers. The underlying philosophies of both company founders were undoubtedly similar.
In understanding how the company had started, Michael was able to develop a true understanding of the Epos brand and all it stood for. He became acutely aware of its strengths, but also had an insight into its weaknesses and areas where improvements were possible. He contracted the services of one of the original Epos speaker engineers Phil Knight.
On its release in 2001, audiophile journalists described the M12 as a thoroughbred, with such fine communication skills it simply sucks you into the music. Couple this with comments such as The M12 is a fabulous design that does so much well and nothing badly… and it is easy to understand why the transition from the original ES models to the new series was so smooth. Of the M15 it was said âresolution is superb, precision is the order of the day, superb timing ensures a fine grip of rhythms…the speakers responsive nature means that dynamics are delivered with verve… It is no wonder then that both the M12 and M15 became recipients of awards the world over.
Private company limited by shares
A private company limited by shares, usually called a private limited company (Ltd.) (though this can theoretically also refer to a private company limited by guarantee), is the private limited type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland, that of certain Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of a public limited company (plc).
"Limited by shares" means that the company has shareholders, and that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company. A shareholder's personal assets are thereby protected in the event of the company's insolvency, but money invested in the company will be lost.
A limited company may be "private" or "public". A private limited company's disclosure requirements are lighter, but for this reason its shares may not be offered to the general public (and therefore cannot be traded on a public stock exchange). This is the major distinguishing feature between a private limited company and a public limited company. Most companies, particularly small companies, are private.
