Thanks eveyone, I would love to get a 2nd EP500, if only for cosmetic reasons, but my wife won't let me, too expensive.
Maybe I should call Noreen and ask if I could get an EP500 shell, with no driver or amp and put it where the stove is (just to balance the room).
That stove really doesn't belong there, but the room is in the basment and can get a bit of a chill in the winter, the stove (electric) takes the edge off.
I did however notice a marked improvement in sound after putting up the sound panels onthe walls and ceiling. I never thought the M80's were harsh, but the panels did warm up the sound a bit and really helps with imaging. When listening to music, by eyes and ears are telling me my center channel is on, even when I know it isn't. I find my self walking up to the center and listening, and on some occasions even unplugging it.
