I dunno.

Maybe it's the fact that the EP500 hasn't been out for the five years that the warranty runs...!!??!!

I hadn't really thought about it... it's just that you see SO many posts here regarding Axiom swapping amps, it stuck out like a sore thumb to see a post where someone said "I have to pay for repairs...."
