Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners ep500 owners

Well actually it is now about 850 sq. ft. since my AV closet I put in took up some space. Once I get the bar, POOL TABLE, and theater stage with 2 row seating done, that will suck up a lot of that room .

Today, I was down stairs planning my bar/pool table area out, man I can't wait to get done.

thanks guys, please keep them coming ...

jack, thanks for the links ... but I've read those as well. I must say that for a product with its reputation, 3 reviews is called pretty rare.

The 500 is also a relatively new sub...at least in comparison to many others out there. And you're ALWAYS more likely to find reviews of subs from big companies that specialize in subs...i.e., you'll see reviews of HSU, SVS and Velodyne more often than REL, MartinLogan and, yes, Axiom. Doesn't mean the subs are better, it just means that they're bigger in the market.

The EP500 is a relatively new product. Offhand, I can't think of any subwoofer of similar age that has more reviews, or for that matter, as many glowing reviews. Also, it's just my opinion, but the number of reviews is considerably less important to me than how highly the product is regarded in the reviews, be it one, three, or 10 reviews.

i have to agree, even the martin logan subs have next to nothing in reviews (except the descent)

does anybody know of THD measurements done on the ep500?

FWIW, I had the EP500 and the UFW-12 in my house, and I ended up keeping the EP500. However, I can't say one was better than the other. They were different. I chose the EP500 based upon personal preference.

As far as THD measurements, I have seen THD measurements of the EP600. However, there has been some debate on how accurate those THD measurements are, and what threshold THD our ears can hear at low frequencies.

Axiom is doing a series of experiments on the audibility of all types of distortion.

thanks for all the comments guys

Couple of things extra you get with the EP500 is the axiom company customer service which is second to none. Free 2 day air shipping and an extremely mature and fair minded community board.

thanks again. for the record, i already ordered the ep500 even before I posted this thread, unfortunately it has to swim 8500 miles to get here (might be farther because 8500 miles is the shortest flight distance) -> instant 60 days waiting time i just hope it gets here safely.

so while waiting ... when is the software update coming out?
