maybe its too cold for the ep500 up there?

Nah, but I have the same system- 3808 m80's and ep500 and It sounds great. is your lack of bass during movies, music , or both?

I would suggest at least TRYING the "LFE + main" setting, and def. set your m80's to small. try the trim on the ep500 at half or full as well.

You will get lots of good adivce on this particular set up since lots of us have it. However, I am going to work.... good luck.

And yeah, as Jakewash mentioned there is a separate place to make adjustments for 2 channel listening (crossover, bass settings, speaker size, ect.) I suspect that your m80's may be set to large in that 2 channel set up so you ep500 isn't working.

Oh yeah, I learned where nunavat was in my world regional geography class several years ago. I actually knew something that Johnk didn't? WOW
