Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater One EP500 or two EP175's

I ran your room dimensions through ModeCalc and the room modes looked pretty evenly spread out, ie your room should not have any really evil bass problems. Given that, I would go with EP500 over 2 EP175s. The EP500 definitely goes deeper into the bass than the EP175, and looks like it can generate at least as much SPL as 2x EP175.

If your room response looked to be evil it might be worth going the dual sub route, but IMO dual subs only start to make sense when the cheaper sub goes just as deep as the more expensive sub and just doesn't play as loud (eg. 2x SVS PCI vs. 1x SVS PC Ultra).
