Go to audioholics.com and do a search for ep2500. There are two threads, one for the A500 and one for the ep2500 that you should read through.

I personally have not listened to an EP2500, but others have and seem quite satisfied.

If you are worried, look for an ep2500 second hand and if it dosn't work out for you, it will be easy to sell to the DIY sub crowd.
