Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater EP500

You know - Other than handling "peak SPL stuff" for reviews, I just run the system at the normal 75 dB levels for most movie dialogue. What is impressive is how some soundtracks will throw off a 110 dB, 22 Hz bass spectacular at this level.

Having a subwoofer arrangement which handles this much bass is a great experience.

Oh, I'm sure. Someday I will have a new sub...

Craig, I look forward to reading your assessment of the EP500, especially compared to similarly-priced offerings from SVS.

I hope you'll pardon me for quoting myself, and for going off topic, but when I posted that last night I couln't understand where the heck using that word to sort of mean "GREAT!" came from. This morning, (if you'll pardon the pun) came the dawn. It was from The Mask with Jim Carrey. Now I haven't seen that movie in years, so can someone explain how I can remember that, yet can't remember if I've eaten breakfast yet. (I don't think I have. Better do it)

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Sometimes traumatic events are burned more deeply in the mental memory pathways than mundane ones. That would certainly account for that movie.

Craig,

I noticed you were Beta testing the SMS-1. I am debating getting one of those to go along with my EP500 or just load up on more music and concert dvd's. I am intrigued by the trim settings on the EP500. My current sub is relatively flat with a 7-8db dip in the 40-55hz region. According to the Audioholics review, that is exactly the area effected by the trim setting. If that is the case, I may be in luck with EP500 and not need the SMS-1.

Any thoughts on how good the SMS-1 is?

Greg

Greg - The SMS-1 is an excellent unit, and will help achieve a flat frequency response. However... it is going to be around $500 street price - so if the trim settings can "get you there" in regards to your response curve, the monsy may be spent better elsewhere.

Oh - and all the stuff arrived while I was home to let the dog out. There are now twin EP-600's hooked up. I am back at the office for a west coast conference call (on a FRIDAY ... grrrrrrrr) ... but there will be abuse ... err ... tests done this weekend.

If you abuse that 500, I'm calling your local Department of Subwoofer Services, and they'll come and take that sub away from you, and put you in jail.

Coincidence? BrotherBob ponders.

Another set of twin EP600's up and running, no wonder the wind, rain and fires have been rampant as of late.

If subwoofer abuse was a crime, I would be in the terrorist camp in Gitmo by now.
