Hi Stephane.

I went from a sealed 10 inch sub (UFW-10 from AV123) to the EP500. The UFW-10 is an excellent sub, which I still use in my bedroom setup.

I cannot guarantee your experience will be the same as mine but I can tell you that I've never noticed any port noise, whatsoever, from the EP500. I recently watched Kung Fu Panda, which, surprisingly, has some pretty impressive bass in a number of scenes, and was delighted by the floor shaking, pant-leg flapping experience. I don't believe my 10 inch, sealed sub could deliver that kind of bass. I am more than happy with the EP500's performance. \:\)

Anyone went from a sealed sub to an Axiom ported sub ? more specificaly an EP500 ?

I have a sealed Energy 10 inch sub that I've been enjoying for almost 10 years now and I would really like the 12inch EP500 but I am wondering about port noise or differences in a ported sub. The ones that I have heard did not sound as "tight" as the sealed units.

If anyone has experienced with both kinds, I would appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,

Stephane
