I found that the "Flat-Half-Full" settings made a big difference in attaining a punchier bass with my EP-500 in a 20x18x8 room. Flat is intended for large rooms, whereas "Half" and "Full" are intended for medium- and small-sized rooms, although no measurements are provided for reference. With proper placement, "Full" setting, and manual tweaking with the SMS-1, I was able to hear that well-defined and punchier bass from the EP-500. For music, nevertheless, I do get "better" bass performance with the M80s connected to the A1400-8 at full-range, and the EP-500 off.
