Steve, I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said about Axiom and Ian. I love supporting this company, and I hope no one there takes it personally when I post about a less-than-positive experience. The only thing is that I was NOT aware I was getting non-final hardware when I preordered the EP800s, and again when I got replacement amps, and again when I got this wave of replacement amps. I only find out after the fact when I read this board. I somehow keep missing any sort of heads-up.
