I think I might have been the first to designate the "EP-400" name. Do I win one?

Maybe my room won't suck as much!

Is there some way to sign up for this supposed "Owner's Club Newsletter" since I am now an Axiom owner? Or are you guys just 'special' compared to the average joe customer, like myself...

Possibly if you promised Ian that you'd never publish your room results again, he might feel confident in sending one right out to you.

I would SO do that as a return favor!

For their diminutive size, though, I'll bet that two of them (with careful placement) would allow me to produce the most glorious before-and-after graphs ever as testimony to the EP-400's ability to overcome difficult, yet common, small room problems!

I love it when Mark gives us a do-it-yourself joke kit first thing in the morning.

I love that Cherry-Chestnut Epic60-500 system...

I got the best of both worlds. I will get to enjoy this system and not have to pay for it. My brother ordered it this afternoon.
I told him if he didnt like it i would gladly trade systems with him

The price point had me considering that the amp with DSP was the primary cost component, more so than the woofer and enclosure.

or maybe they are planning an upgrade to the 350 with the digital amps and that will be in the $700 price range. ( a man can dream can't he)

The EP400 was produced to fill a specific need that was being requested of us over and over. This was to pack real sub-woofer performance into the smallest possible enclosure. It was not created to be a cheaper version of the EP500 and in fact if you do not have any concern over the enclosure size then the EP500 would be the way to go. If our goal was to bring out a less expensive EP500 then we would definitely utilize a larger enclosure. Adding to enclosure size is an inexpensive way (to a point) of boosting a sub’s performance without having to spend more on the sub’s amp and driver technologies. So really are you asking us if we could revisit the EP350 and see if we could boost its performance by adding about $50 to the selling price? That sounds like it might be a good idea.

If you get get the 350 to a price point where its performance rivals its competitors in the same price range, I think more people would opt for the 350. Sort of a less powerfull EP500, goes down to 20hz but not nearly as loud as the EP500. I am not sure of how the logistics work with how much things cost so I am not sure how that would work.

If increasing the cabinet size of the 350 would allow it to extend down to 20hz, I think you would have a real winner. Just look at the SVS PB-12...that thing is a monster and it has had great ratings from sub enthusiasts, people are willing buy a bigger sized sub for cheaper to get better performance.

What IF, as real80sman suggested, the 350 moved up to the 500's enclosure but kept it's 200 Watt Amp, that could be upgradeable to the 500's amp at a later date?

This would mean one less enclosure size for Axiom to build and a very easy upgrade path for us customers.

Consider this a pat on the back, now we can wait for reality to set in .
