i ordered my ep600 from the f.o. and the website said 3weeks, and i got my speaker in 5 days... and as far as non A quality, me and 4 of my buddies went over my 600 when it arrived, and none of use could find 1 thing wrong with it... so if a group of 4 people "looking for mistakes" cant find any, then they must be pretty damn small.... i still dont know why my speaker was a F.O. item...
