However, in terms of low frequency extension, 2 500s wouldn't have the same low-end capability as 2 600s (or 800s), and I do really enjoy the low-end of the 600, and imagine I'll enjoy the lower end of the 800 even more. I suppose if I turn out to be completely wrong I can send it back... there's always that option.
I think that is why I prefered the PB13 to the 600, that little bit of lower extension.

That's what I keep thinking about too Jason... if I can get that from the 800 (and actually more given the SPL curves posted at Audioholics), and keep the rest of the great qualities of the 600, it seems like the perfect speaker.

With that as my justification, I have just ordered one. \:D \:D \:D

Congrats on placing the order, I keep thinking about your dilemma and I believe the benefit of keeping the 600 at least for now is that you will be able to hear how the 2 subs sound together in your room, if the combination is that great your wife might be convinced and might relent. If not, you could always put the 600 up for sale later after auditioning the combined impact of the two?

That's pretty much the plan, yes. You nailed it. Ironically, with the way the current discount works, _if_ I sell the 600 myself later, I'd only have to get $1k for it to break even versus doing the trade-up.

Knowing myself, I'll probably end up keeping both of them. I just had to come around to making the decision and getting over the slightest tinge of guilt I was feeling about spending the money.

Fortunately, this was a very good month at work... much better than anticipated, which just seemed like the audio gods telling me that I should buy the 800.

I need to start going to church. I think the audio Gods are mad at me.

Awesome news. I'm glad you were able to justify it. \:\)

Am I mistaken, or is this the first official EP800 purchase that has been made public on the boards?

Enjoy!
