Well Dana (I'm sorry I called you Dave earlier), this hobby is nothing if not all about personal opinions. Please don't feel you need to appologize for having differing opinions that some others may have.
As for the bad restaurant experience, I do understand where you're coming from there too. I suppose if I hadn't had 5 other Axiom speakers that worked flawlessly to keep my faith alive in Axiom as a company, then the troubles I had with the EP800 may very well have turned me against them as well.
Glad you found something that blew you away... In both cases.
