Hello,
both rooms I have used my axiom speakers in are about 12x16. The EP125 never excited me, and then it got a little staticky so I sent it back. Not sure if mine was defective or not, it may have been a cable ??, but I took advantage of axiom's upgrade program, and upgraded to the EP175.
The EP175 does round out the overall bass of the M22's. I know other posters talk about better bang for the buck with other sub manufacturers at this price range, but I wanted all my speakers to match.
It looks like you are on a tight budget, going with a phantom center and all. I dont have any experience with a phantom center so I cant comment on that. If I had a chance to purchase my sub over, I would have went ahead and gotten the EP350 ( the $$ jumps between the lower 3 subs are not that steep), but ultimately would like an EP500 (yea that is a big $ jump). My brother has the EP500 and I just think it has so much potential, when properly calibrated and placed.
I dont know where you are located , but you're more than welcome to come audition my EP175 , in boston cherry. You can hear them with my M22's. My M22's are not 'v2', but the 'ti' version, FWIW
good luck
Randy

Randy - how big is the room you are in? I see you returned the ep125 for the ep175. You also run the M22's and QS4's. I'm considering an Axiom system with M22's, QS4's, and EP125,
