Based on my experience, Dana, if something does go awry with one of your EP500's, it will be taken care of, and quickly at that.

My first 500 lasted two weeks and just pooped. Replacement amp came pronto and all has been fine since December. I had two Mac's do that to me within a year of each other. 3rd one lasted 10 years and then got sold. So, it's about making things right. And you can always return them if they don't float your boat or dislocate your foundation sills.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
