Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners EP600 question/comments please

If its in your budget I would also go with the 600, probably would have gone that route myself, but the 500 has more WAF and is a great sub.

Well folks I did it - I odered and got my EP600. All my fears have been washed away. The performance of this giant is outstanding. It blows away the Definitive Technology in ways I never imagined.
The purity of the lower frequencies, along with the wealth of power behind it raises the presentation to incredible heights. (or rather depths)
In both two channel music and of course 7.1 film presentations i was taken to new wide-eyed wonders. Even MONO films have become a wonder now impowered with a more theatrical feel.
The bass is lower, deeper and precise. No boom, no distoration. It plays smooth and becomes part of the rest of the speaker line like a well fitting shoe. It is true that the bass is more felt rather than heard. I am amazed. 2-channel music which never had presence now extends to levels I never thought it had. The neighbors have already banged on the wall - during a testing of the new release of the film EARTHQUAKE on DVD.
My recent purchase of (2) M80's, Center 150, (4) SQ8's is not complete with this addition. As a review of DVDs is can be a chore sitting through a lot of garbage anything that aids in that is a God send, and makes the re-discovery of viewing my favorites that much more fun.
Thank you all for your positive feedback and helpfull suggestions in my final choice.
I will will be adding pics to the Axiom Family area soon.

Scott, I have the EP500, and I'm glad to hear someone else use the descriptive term "smooth" when discussing the bass produced by these DSP subs. That's the term that pops into my head most often. No boom, just tight clean bass. Glad you're enjoying your system.

Scott, Great review, that's an awesome system you have put together, looking forward to some pics.

Great Scott! (hmmm, I've heard that somewhere!).

Glad you are pleased. Makes me wish I had one.

John,
I thought the same thing when I got my 600 . That’s why I was sure you’d love it. It’s an amazing sub. The 500 would keep up with it for movie play back (almost, but not quite), but for music, I found the 600 to be vastly superior.

The 12 YO picked out Blade III to watch last night. It’s the first time I’ve seen it with the 600 in the mix. It was quite a treat to watch. I actually watched the movie this time instead of just watching Jessica Bien.
