A buddy was here last night admiring the new speakers, I had the skins off and he asked .. well how many speakers do you have in this 11 x 10 room? Started counting .... 23 so far, if the 3" dual cones on the EP500 count 25 .. I want rears plus 8 .... and then if wide and heights ..... pretty amazing!

What do you mean by dual 3" cones on the EP500?

39 in the living room. 4 in the office and 6 in the back room. Geez. I'm really lacking the office and in the backroom... something will have to be done about that...

What do you mean by dual 3" cones on the EP500? Maybe I read that wrong "The EP500's massive 12-inch aluminum driver with a 3-inch diameter dual voice coil, and its companion 500-watt power amplifier are tightly controlled by the DSP"

Whoa, I thought my Saturday nights were typically uneventful. You have know idea! Next Sat I'm going to count them again "with a clicker" just to be sure (These days uneventful is welcome, as opposed to my "yoot")

4 Drivers in 2 Speakers for the outside deck. If I get to count my other rooms add another 18 for my whole house audio system, but they are not Axioms, so I'm disqualifying them. Axiom needs some ceiling speakers!

26 in the HT of which 25 are Axiom, and 12 in storage(retired) in the basement(not Axiom).
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Voice coils are part of a driver, not separate drivers.

I installed these for a friend over his pool table and they sound good. T2 Speakers Well, as good as a ceiling speaker can IMO.

I think some in-wall outdoor speakers would be cool.

That's asking for trouble. You'd have to have a water-tight seal between your speaker and the exterior wall. Not something I'd want to trust many DIY-ers with.
