Just curious if anyone has heard or compared the EP500, 600, or 800 to SVS PC13Ultra or PB13Ultra, or the PC12 series?

Doesn't Jay (Jakewash) have one of those SVS subs ? I think he's auditioned it against an EP500 if I'm not mistaken.

Haven't directly compared it against Axiom, but I have an older PB12 Ultra/2 and haven't found anything better. I have compared it against Velodyne, B&W, and Kliscph. I am told that the PC/PB13 digs a bit deeper, although I can't imagine that. Mine is pretty much flat down to 11 Hz.

Randy, you should take a trip over to eD and report back on their subs.

Here are some excerps from that link.

16. Axiom EP-500

Listening results: The EP-500 was one of the first subwoofers to stress linearity across its frequency band. What is somewhat ironic is it sounds more like the baby brother to the new PB-13 Ultra than do smaller SVS models. It is capable of surprising amounts of bass slam, and is excetionally articulate for music. Its down side is that is current price is rather expensive for the performance. Its up side is it is quite compact, and an excellent choice when space is a consideration.

Measured results: 20 Hz ... 97 dB ... 20-63 Hz average ... 107 dB

15. SVS PB-12 Ultra

Listening results: A terrific subwoofer considering its 2002 design. It remained competitive in the $1200 - $1500 arena until 2007, when it was replaced by the PB13-Ultra. The "old" Ultra was at one time a standard bearer for performance, and remains a solid mid pack subwoofer today.

Measured results: 20 Hz ... 102 dB ... 20-63 Hz average: 109 dB

3a. SVS PB13-Ultra

Listening results: This subwoofer delivers incredible performance from a moderate sized box. It is almost on par with the larger Conquest and eD subs in terms of delivering palpable bass, and it is as articulate as the standard bearer Fathom 113. A great choice when one is looking for a combination of reasonable WAF and performance.

Measured results ... 20 Hz: 108 dB ... 20-63 Hz average: 113.5 dB

Jay has the PB13 Ultra, I'm sure he'll chime in when he reads the thread.

Yeah, we all are familiar with Craig. \:\) He used to frequent Axioms forum.... I had read his sub review about a year ago, the PC13Ultra is the cylindrical version of the PB13...

Yeah Rick, I've been thinking about heading over to Newton the next time I catch a Nascar or Busch race. I like the looks of their new dual subs, one monstrous amp 1300 watts and two different cabinets for placement options.

I'll be in Newton on Sunday to play in a paintball contest at the new paintball field (weather is going to suck though), but I won't have time to head to eD... I will be in Newton every month, but the day is usually filled with me getting messy on the paintball field...
