Seems like a few years ago they were priced good. After doing some research it seems like you can get more for your money nowadays. Looking at Craigsubs reviews there are about 10 subs that rated better and cost less than the ep500. The one(s) that really got my attention were AV123's MFW-15 Duals. Two 15" subs that will go very low for only $998. Compare that to the ep350v3 for $758. For $240 more you can get 2 subs that will go deeper and get better overall response. I am not knocking axiom... I love my speakers but I would also like to finish off my 5.0 system with an axiom sub so everything matched. However it is hard to justify it when it seems like I could get more for the money.
It would be great if axiom would offer some dual sub combos at a better price \:\)
