I am looking at getting teh epic 60 home theater system, but adding the larger center channel the VP 150...I am debating switching out the EP 350 for the EP 500...is this overkill? Cost is a factor. is there going to be a huge difference in sound and range to justify the larger sub or will I be fine with the EP 350? My main goal is for there to be no distortion on the lower end of the range during movies...

I'd say it depends on the size of your room. I have the exact same setup - M60s, QS8s, a VP-150, and an EP-350. In my 18x12x10 room, it does the job perfectly well. I'm sure others will have their own thoughts. And, as always, YMMV!
Enjoy the speakers!

I will say this. if you get the ep350 and dont like it you can send it back and upgrade to the ep500. i just confirmed yesterday that if it is before the 30 day return you will not pay return shipping on UPGRADES. so my vote (which is what i did) goes for get the 350 and see if you like it.

Call Axiom with the dimensions of your room and ask their advice. Unless you have a very large room, I'd be really surprised if the EP350 was not adequate.

Adequate? What's that got to do with anything?
