I got a price for a ultracube for 1200 taxes in canadian from my dealer because I buy a lot of stuff from him but the price I got for a pb13 ultra was 1999.99 plus taxes . So if they were closer it would be a no brainer but its to much for me . I still really want to hear the ep500 , its the same price as the ultra cube . That's a hard toss up between them I'm sure . I would imagine the ep would go lower but I'm not sure seing how the ultra has 150 more watts and 2 10" passive radiators to make up for the smaller size . To clear things up small size is of no importance to me .
