Episode ES-500-AW-8 outdoor speakers


Does anybody have any experience with these or currently have them?  I've been listening outside A LOT lately and I recently came across these while searching the web.  Please share your thoughts.
Thanks!

Thanks, Soix.   I was reading the same as you.  I was hoping maybe someone had them here.   I've seen them up front and they look fantastic.  Solid product.   But of course i wanna know how they sound compared to some of the popular offerings. 
They are a solidly built product with good performance. 

From a performance standpoint, the Near LB6/LB8 are the best weatherproof speakers I've ever seen and used. 
Paradise, thanks for the info.  They look great.  I wish i could hear both the Nears and the Episodes.  I've seen the Episodes up close. If they sound as good as they look, they should be astounding. I think I'm ready to upgrade my old Kickers 6000s.

The Stylus are conventional, mountable outdoor speakers (in black or white) that are similar in shape and size to what you are presently looking at with Episode, but we also have Rocks, and Landscape style speakers that can cover any type of outdoor environment to suit your needs and/or lifestyle.

Thanks,
