The system does look and sound mighty fine. The EP500 rattle is only at high volumes and goes away when I stuff my hand in the port, so should be easy to fix.
During the first "performance" I got into a debate with one of Mark's friends regarding the ability to localize the subwoofer (it's off to one side). I mentioned that we could lower the crossover frequencies if there was a problem then realized his point was that the subwoofer was moving so much air he could feel his clothes blowing around from several feet away
We also ran into a problem with the Oppo 981 hanging up on Mark's copy of Star Wars III. No problem with my copy.
