2packer, I recieved my complete Epic 80-500 system from the Factory Outlet less than a month ago. I have yet to find a blemish on anything. When unpacking my speakers I noticed that both my M80s and QS8s have sequencial serial numbers. Now that make me wonder if the were blems at all. The wait time for the system was a full month and it makes me wonder that if the FO doesn't have blems to send within the estimated wait time, then Axioms sends firsts to fill the order. My point is, do not be afraid to order from the FO. The drawback is that you have wait for what seems an eternity to get that email from Noreen that your order has shipped. Let me tell you though it is worth the wait. I highly recommend the M80s, QS8s, and a VP150 if you can swing the budget.
