I find it hard to believe that article was about Axiom.

Just look at their coverage on Audioholics:

EP 500 Review:

Epic 80-60 Review:

I bought this system b/c of this review!

It puzzles me that Axiom would think their sub wouldn't get a fair review from them.

I also did an internet search and couldn't find a single EP800 review with quantifiable measurements. All of the reviews I read so far have been powder puff at best. What is the deal with that?
