Just wondering on your thoughts. Would you rather have two EP500's or one EP800?

Definitely, the dual 500's. Really helps from being able to constantly "place" (hear) the LFE at the source. But I have only one. There are some crazie$ with 4, so ask again so one of them will advise you.

I like really low LFE so I would go with the EP800 but dual EP500's will allow the possibility of smoothing out the bass throughout the room.

Can't go wrong either way. Never heard the 800, but I love my 500, goes low enough for me and most people (does a great job of shaking my house). I would consider a 2nd. My vote goes to the two 500s. Granted one 500 is still very powerful! Just more flexability and options. Also, not as heavy and bulky.

There was a very informative video made by Ian a year ago explaining how more subs provide a flatter response across more seating positions (as echoed above in Jakewash/Jason's post). I would therefore go with 2 EP500s instead of one EP800 (and, coincidentally, this is what I did).

Yep, more subs will provide a flatter response across the room, while larger subs reach lower in frequency response. Take your pick.
