I have a similar setup of the full Epic 80 + SVS sub.

I have not been listening to the setup for long, but I found the 80's to be a little bit bright. I am usually sensitive to bright speakers and get uncomfortable and fatigued when listening to bright speakers. I did lots of reading at this forum and discovered that 'some' people found the speakers to be bright.

What I did was that I ordered my speakers with the additional resistors for the tweeters just in case I needed them. A couple of days later, and after listening for long periods, I discovered that I do need the resistors. I installed them (very simple) and since then I have no complaints. I am still experimenting with the ideal placement (a bit busy with the year end activities), but I am getting there.

I am now very satisfied and comfortable with the sound that I get from the 80's.
