This is one great sub
http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/loudspeakers/AxiomEP500reviewp1.php
Here are some quotes
The Design
The EP500 is unlike any other subwoofer we have encountered. The amplifier design execution is nothing short of brilliant.
This one is curious
The back panel of the EP500 is a fully armed arsenal of connectivity options including line level (unbalanced and balanced) inputs and outputs, speaker level inputs and even a USB port for future upgrade or connectivity options with Axiom electronics (coming soon)
Axiom electronics coming soon? Hmmmmm..... Great article
My last edit I promise
There are many great subwoofers (especially available online) at this highly contested price point that offer commendable performance and cosmetics, but we feel the EP500 is class leading in performance in this price category. Alas – “King of the Deep” – is an appropriate title for it. If you are serious about bass, you owe it to yourself to check this subwoofer out. With Axiom’s great customer service (one of the best we have seen in this business) and generous 30 day return policy, it’s a risk free, no-brainer decision in this humble reviewer’s opinion. In fact, if you aren’t happy with the performance of this sub, please send it my way, my reference system could always benefit from the addition of an EP500 or two.
The BEST SUB!! I can't wait to get one soon to complement my 60's 4 QS8 and vp150. I have a real weak 12" old old sub 250 watts. I have had my Axioms for almost a year and i am still amazed how fantastic they are. Cracked me up watching some movie or other,and my wife goes to check if it's raining and of course it's the QS8.We both cracked up. OK I'm done waxing rhapsodic

you guys are making me jealous, trying to decide on a second 350 or just get a 500 to go with my current 350. My new room in the basement is pushing 900 sq ft., however, the HT corner area is about 300 sq ft with 9' ceilings, but it is all open to the rest of the room.

You don't have to imagine. Just listen carefully in the evening... if you live in the Continental US (or parts of Mexico) you can probably hear them.

Stop it you guys, I was THIS close to getting the nod from my wife for twin EP-600's. Then I screwed up, she asked if there was a big break for ordering two at one time, and, without thinking, I said NO ...
The right answer ? The first one is $2250, the second at the same time, $1250. Grrrrrrrrrr...

I would dearly love an EP500 (and/or 600), but living in a small apartment in the city + superduper subwoofer = eviction.
However, the part of that review that I read lastnight that got me really excited was "Axiom electronics (coming soon)".
Someone leak some info already, will ya?! My receiver is working fine, but my upradeitis viral load is rising and before I begin treatment I want to know what's coming down the pike!
