I have heard the 350 A/B'd with the 600 and the 350 holds it's own. I felt it had a little more punch to it for music than the 600 did, but for HT the extra depth and power of the 600 was noticeable and made for a better feel on impactful scenes. I have heard the EP500 recently, although it was not working right with a bad gain control but it seemed to me that the 500 has more of the same feel and impact the 600 does in a much smaller case.

I just don't want to get the 350 and wish I had gotten the 500. Thanks again guys!

Other than helping the sub to go lower, does DSP affect the sound clarity or help in other ways?

The Axiom description certainly implies the DSP chip does a great deal more than help it go low. I'm curious how much it helps as well. I thought some one on here felt the 500 was better than the 600 b/c of the DSP, but I could be wrong on that.

FYI, the 600 also employs the DSP chip.

I was gonna say that I could not imagine the 600 NOT having the chip. Seems to be a rather large price difference just for a chip and a few more watts.

Estimated shipping date Feb 1

The EP400, 500 and 600 and 800(when it is available) all have DSP, which helps keep them from being over driven/bottoming out and maintain a nice flat response. I think how deep they reach is dependent on the driver and cabinet size more than the DSP.
