Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater HT for $10K

I saw another thread about the EP600 which intrigued me.

You guys have convinced me that the only reason to go with 80s instead of 60s (with a good sub, in a room w/ 3600 cubic feet) would be "because you can". Would that also be the only reason to go with the EP600 instead of the EP500??

Pretty much so rook. I'll add a coupe of things to this piece though. First - some (including me ) think that you can never have too much LFE. Second and more inportant - this question is one you should really discuss with Axiom. I'm all for lotsa toys, but not if there is really no good reason for it. If the 600 is too much sub, it seems like an opportunity to channel the money elsewhere.

Just sent you a PM.

You can never have too much sub...only too little...and too little is very sad sad thing. So do us all a favor and get the 600

Rook,

Just so you know, my room is about 16X14X7.5, so is quite a bit smaller than yours, but on my EP500 I can only get the volume up to about 2 out of 10 with the wife in the house, 3 out of 10 otherwise for movies and such and its already shaking the walls. I can't imagine needing the eP600 for a room your size other than going that extra few HZ below the audible spectrum for additional effect on extremely deep bass tracks in certain movies. Based on my experience, you will NOT need the extra power. I assume you also have no WAF factor to deal with to have a fridge sized subwoofer in your room. My wife barely accepts my EP500, and its tiny compared to the 600.

BBBBBAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I love bass...it's my friend.

Don't forget soundproofing, if the wife and neighbors have to be out of town in order to use your ht set up you won't get to see near the number of movies. Try Costco for seating, they had some pretty fancy theater seats last time I was there for considerably less then normal retail. I didn't have the budget for seating so I bought 10 seats from a movie theater that was being torn down for $250.00, found them in the Little Nickle newspaper.
