Hi everyone, I recently received my Audiobytes as well as the EP0 subwoofer. I've also had my Epic Grandmaster 500 system for a couple years now and love it. I guess I've gotten to used to my EP-500 sub. The EP0 seems pretty weak in my opinion (I knew it's no comparison to the 500 ). It also seems to pick up a lot of midrange sound. I'm looking for a good powered sub to plug into the Audiobyte amp. I'd like to not spend over $200. The EP-125 is maaaaaybe a possibility, however. Thanks everyone!! PS the sound quality of the Audiobytes alone is amazing!!!!

I recently bought the Hsu VTF2.3 -- works very well with the axioms I have (M60, vp100, QS4). I was surprised at how much difference it makes -- even with the M60s. They have some smaller units that might be more suitable for an under desktop scenario.

you could always make a computer desk OUT of the bigger subs.

Ran into the same issue. Ended up expanding the budget and adding a Mirage S8. I tried to keep it under $300...but ended up spending about $350. I love how stereo equipment improves in $50-100 increments For a 12 x 12 study the Audibytes paired with this sub sound fantastic.

I find the EP0 to be well matched with the audiobytes if used as intended. Mine are on my desk in front of me right beside the speakers.

I use a $150 Sony Sub (150W) in my 1000 cubic foot office. It blends beautifully and gives just the kind of kick that the Audiobytes lack. Right, Jason?

I must agree with Mojo, the Sony sub did add considerably to the audiobyte experience, without it they sounded like the best computer speakers I have ever heard but still computer speakers; with the sub they sounded like a very good 2.1 system.

Any of you two compared it with the EP0?
