Chess - We have a big, rambling farmhouse with 6 listening rooms. There's always a home for speakers.
One thing I should mention - the two people who redesigned the EP350 into the V.4 are confident that it will be quite the performer. By raising the tuning to the 26-28 Hz area, they have made a tradeoff for higher output in the 30-40 Hz "slam" area over extension. The PC2000, on paper, trades output in the 30-40 Hz range for that additional extension.
It will be interesting to test both, especially to discover if either can be made to make a "bad noise" when driven hard. That's one aspect (of many) that a standard test as performed at Data-Bass cannot tell you.
Driver bottoming, Port Noise, amp clipping under duress, are all performance issues which need to be explored when testing a sub.
Back to the EP350 in its current form - the folks at Axiom think it's a totally different animal then previous generations: Triple Vortex Ports, better driver, better amp, and Andrew is confident that the amp-driver-enclosure-port interface is "fool proof", as in it's "impossible" to make a bad noise.
We will find out soon enough.
