I am in the process of setting up a room for my home theater and am preparing to go BIG! I like the Epic 80-500 set up and may even add an extra set of m3ti for the fronts (my receiver can handle the nine speakers) One of the problems is that all this is going to cost a bundle and by shopping through the factory outlet I could save 15%.
My questions are:
Obviously my main concern is sound quality. Is there any difference in sound quality with these discounted speakers?
How noticeable are the blemishes? Can you really notice or do you have to look closely?
I have little kids who will have access to this room. If the only thing wrong with these speakers are minor, if at all noticeable, blemishes then I'm thinking this could be a winner. I hardly ever get to put the first scratch on any of my stuff anymore!
