>>Very diplomatic, John. Your last sentence surprised me!
I purchased the SVS (a 20-39PC+) when the older EP350 was the top of the Axiom line and I wanted something with a bit more deep bass extension. It was a relatively easy decision, although the shipping was a pain.
Nowadays it would be a much tougher choice because Axiom, SVS and HSU all have great offerings. Fortunately I have no money to spend on audio right now or I would probably be ordering an EP350v3, an EP500 or 600 *and* a Hsu VTF-3 HO with the ugly box
