The feedback on Epik subs is pretty good. They may not look purdy, but they sound good.
Once you get up in the $1000+ range, you start go get into a lot of options. For $1000 you can build a sub using a high quality 18" driver that will probably outperform most commercial subs.
The 13W7 driver used in the Gotham is above $600 retail. For less than that, you can pick up an amazing 18" driver.
I'm not saying that the EP800 does not offer good value, but there sure do seem to be a lot of good choices out there these days.
