No offence taken. I had posted a reply earlier but it seems to have disappeared?!
In any case - you're correct, room, or lack of is problem. But afte much testing I'm happy to say the sound is better than think most speakers would deliver. I held my second audition today, and I really enjoyed the company of the person who was interest in these speakers. I find the general feeling is surprise over the quality of the speakers and a bit a mystery over the fact they aren't available in stores. There's a little of apprehension as well over ordering speakers online, or over the phone, especially out of the country. But I assure them it's all legit and well worth the purchase. I love to see their expressions over the size and power, yet subtle presence at times, over the EP600. Also, their reactions over the directional clarity of the sounds in 5.1.
