Sonic, you missed that I upgraded to an ep600 as well.
Received my new 7.1 system in "Ebony" finish Wednesday. I've been busy when I have time setting everything up, boxing up the previous speakers so the new owner will come get them, and finding time to listen/calibrate eveything.
I'll try to get some new pics asap. I think with the dark finish, it will be hard to get great pictures. I may have to borrow my dad's digital as it is better than mine.
So far I'm very impressed with the sound from the 80's, there is a difference from the 60's. The ep600 is unbelievable and outperforms the 500 so far.
My new Emotiva amp is due to arrive tomorrow.
