Ok, ok. My system is goofy. I know, M50s and M3s crossed at 60 set to large singles me out as somewhat excentric. Yup; first to admit it.

I also use a sealed sub, with a 3db down point about the same as the EP175.(much bigger amp, though )

I also live in an area that has been living with a "Sub Wars" truce for more than the last two years that we've been living here.

Bass for music is darn near perfect; flat right into the mains!! But movie explosions are limited to shaking the floors and chairs and leaving the stuff on the shelves alone. We have the bass up to to the point where explosions are suitably realistic,....And the neighbors NEVER complain!!!

Wah-Hoo!!

So I wish for world peace, I vote for the 175.

The rest of the stuff is good, it's good.
Rich.
