That's pretty funny.
Try reselling that unit someday. It would be a great advertising point.

I expect I'll be upgrading it once the subwoofer app is out. The 800 is absolutely awesome by the way. What a difference from my 600v2!

I've been longing to update our old EP350 for quite some time.
If next year goes well, i might pull the trigger, but i'm just not sure what might be best.
The 800 is too large for sure and even the 600 is probably overkill for the room. Since the redesigns, the 500 seems most likely.

According to Craig, the new 350 is pretty awesome too!

Ian wrote me an email and the Gin Gut Punch setting will have a 6 db boost in the 50 to 80 hz range in that setting. The Bourbon Smooth will be the standard flat curve.

I am anxious to try this with various types of music, it should be fun. Especially in conjunction with the EP500 to the back side of the room, I'll put the EP800 to the left side wall.

I'm really keen on experimenting with this four-fold boost in power.

With the 160 in my system, I have the fronts and center crossing over to the EP800 at 40Hz. It sounds absolutely right and for the first time in 11 years, I can actually say I have an appropriate level of slam. I've commented on these boards that I've never been able to hear the sound of the drumstick hitting the drum skin; well, I no longer have that problem. Instead of bass sounding thick and muddy, it sounds clean, tight and what is usually described as "fast". I can turn the sub level up and it never gets muddy - just louder as it should be.

This boost may result in a slightly better kick without going over the top. Of course I can always increase my cross-over setting and then I'm sure it will knock my socks off.

I told you so! - about a month ago when you were deliberating, ha!

TAM

You old geezers are so wise.

I am breaking out my old jock strap before putting this 800 into service!

TAM has two EP800s in a 100 cubic foot room! He velcros his 'nads to his thighs to prevent them from clanging.
