Hello all,
Long time Axiom user here and, well, this is my first post in several years.
I've owned an Epic 80 system (with a HSU sub) for the past several years, but have been in apartments and condos. This summer I should be moving into a house.
Current house has a 20x15x9 rec room I can put the theatre in. Do you think this is too small for the Epic80? Any thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.

Ravi, finally moving into a real house. That's good news. Last i heard you were selling some units due to a downturn change in the employment world. You must be faring well.
And no, the room size is fine (that 9' is the ceiling height right?)

Ravi, welcome back; we've missed you. That room size wouldn't require the output capabilities of the M80s, but of course you're in control of how loud you play them. No speaker can "overpower" a room if you don't let it.

Congrats, Ravi!!
And welcome back!
Yeah, I agree with Chess--you should be fine with that room.

No speaker can "overpower" a room if you don't let it. And if the speaker gets overpowering, tackle the massive M80 to the ground and twist its neck until you pop a tweeter. That outta slow it down some.

Charles, that certainly would be a different definition for "audiophile".
