Product Information

The Epic Midi /400 system provides no-compromise audiophile sound by combining combining the Epicenter EP400 DSP 500-watt subwoofer with the acclaimed transparency and 3-dimensional musical presentation of the compact M2 bookshelf speakers. Ideal for the discriminating listener who seeks the awesome power of live rock-concert bass or the powerful reverberance of African drums.

The Epicenter EP400 DSP subwoofer achieves ultra-low bass with none of the uneven performance of conventional subs, and delivers those powerful bass notes from an unusually compact cabinet, much smaller than conventional subwoofers. The Axiom custom-programmed Intelligent DSP “algorithm” controls every frequency from 23 Hz to 150 Hz, maintaining a smooth, flat response within 3 dB across the range (within 1.5 dB from 28 Hz - 150 Hz). That means you'll hear undistorted, profoundly deep rumbles all the way to 23 Hz or even deeper in typical rooms. And the sophisticated DSP chip inside prevents the EP400 from ever being overdriven into distortion.

The robust bass of the EP400 sub lets you use the Epic Midi /400 in living rooms, bedrooms and dens up to 2,100 cu. ft. The critically acclaimed M2 bookshelf speakers, praised by critics and customers alike for their transparent and neutral music reproduction, each use a single 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter—exactly the same drivers that the celebrated M22 and floorstanding M60 and M80 tower speakers use for upper bass, midrange and treble. So it's no surprise that the M2 presents a soundstage of compelling width and depth.

Like the other Epic Midi systems, the VP100 center channel focuses dialog and is tonally identical to the M2's because it uses the same dual aluminum cone woofers. These create a seamless blend between center, mains and surrounds, with plenty of depth and a spacious 3-dimensional soundstage. This system also delivers amazingly clear, natural movie soundtrack and music playback from DVDs, CDs, even LPs.

The QS4 quadpolar surround speakers each use four drivers firing in four different directions to create a remarkable audio illusion. They produce ultra-realistic envelopment in effects and location sounds from 5.1 channel movie soundtracks. Thunder, rainstorms and jungle scenes heard from the QS4s will put you in that environment, so complete is the surround effect. Fronts, center and surrounds can be wall-mounted or stand-mounted.

Music reproduction via DVD-Audio or SACD discs or from CDs processed through Dolby Pro LogicII is as thrilling and enjoyable as ambient soundtrack effects. You'll reassess the power of music in your existing collection of CDs.

Customer Comments

Below are a few of the many reviews that our customers have been kind enough to send us.

Got them all on Friday, and they are wonderful. Just for fun we set them on the counter and tried to find what caused them to end up in the Outlet section. Could not find anything on the sub, found one tiny scratch on the bottom of one of the M2i's, and my girlfriend thinks she found a slight glue spot on the center channel. All in all, I think you guys are crazy to sell these things at knock-down prices. They are perfect! Thanks again for your help and thanks to Everyone at Axiom for an incredible product at a great, great price. -- Thomas B., VA Thank you very very much. You've made the holidays MUCH better. I hope your holiday celebrations are full of happiness and joy. You've certainly brought both to me this year with your phenomenal support. I can't say enough good things about you and Axiom. -- John P., CA Thank you and your staff, speakers are great, look great and sound great. A very happy customer and delivery was next day, all in all very satisfied. -- Gil B., QC

Dear Amie, my first "hi-fi" system consisted of a H.H.Scott 25wpc receiver,Dynaco A25 speakers,and a Garrard turntable with a Shure cartridge. Since then,due to financial constraints from raising a family and a couple of serious illnesses,I have had to settle for "mid-fi" systems. I love music, and I especially love it when it is reproduced well. I am on social security and cannot afford to spend much on my hobby. I recently learned about Axiom from Don Lindich in one of his articles,after researching your company and reading the rave reviews,I decided to assume a little debt and order your Midi system. I also purchased a Panasonic SA-XR25 receiver,on Mr. Lindich's recommendation as well. WOW!!!! What a combination,especially for us "financially challenged" folks. I just wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful high end product,that also happens to be affordable. Many thanks,and my wishes for your continued success. -- Jerry S., OH USA Read more customer comments on our home theaters here.
