I have not heard an EP500 yet but based on specs and owners comments it should be a perfect fit for what you want. The 500 plays very deep into the low frequencies and is very flat... you are basically paying for that deep flat frequency response more than "super loud" playback which I think is what you are looking for.

Just a check; how big is your room and how open is it to adjoining spaces ?
