"IThe EP175 is fast and tuneful and very, very clean. If you take the time to set it up optimally with the M22s, the results are astonishingly transparent and musical. That $900 speaker system will give you bass down 30Hz and a seamless, thrillingly musical soundstage. If your HT system has to perform double duty and play your music as well as your films, you could do a lot worse than the EP175. In fact, you'd have to spend a lot more money to do better."

I bought this for music only, due to clean no distortion sound. Fantastic quality and value. The customer service I received from Axiom was second to none. Two BIG thumbs up for this Canadian company.

I spent a few months without a sub and am now wondering why I ever waited so long before buying the EP175. Initially, I was considering going with another company for the sub. I narrowed it down to three competitors. At first I wanted a downward or floor-firing sub; though it was the EP175’s musical proficiency that sealed the deal. All the floor-firing subs had a lag, or delay if you prefer, on all music. Nothing will hurt a musician’s or music enthusiast’s ear more that hearing a bass riff or for that matter a drummer’s double-base run sound sloppy and uneven. It should also be mentioned that the EP175 does a fantastic job in any movie as well. Deep tight bass = EP175.

I set up the M22ti's and the EP175 in my billiard room last night. These speakers replaced some ancient EPI speakers I bought about 25 years ago.
The sound is incredibly improved. I had to hook up the subwoofer on the high level inputs since my amp is an early model A/V amp with with no sub-woofer output. First played some of Dave Grusin's "Cinemagic" CD (some deeply orchestrated movie themes), and played with the placement, crossover, levels, etc.

My son and I then settled in to watch several DVD concerts, simply in awe of the sound. My wife was stopped in her tracks at the impact (Peter Gabriel at the time), and sat down with us for the rest of the concert.

Clearly, I am very pleased with the purchase. Even the analog cable TV (also on this system) sounds great.Thanks,
