Instead of a long drive to Dwight, although it would be a nice trip in the spring/summer, I suggest that you order 1 or 2 EP-500s & try it/them for a couple of weeks. If they really aren't for you, then pay to ship them back - it would be cheaper in the long run than the road trip. If you really like them, you are a winner.
Based on my extensive experience with my 4 Axiom subs, I believe that you will find them to be both powerful & articulate. Whether you like them or not is another story as everything in this pastime is so subjective...
