I never heard of Axiom until I got the Brystons. That is what drove me to looking at their subs as I have not been happy with any subs I have been using other than my old Def Tech RIP. Although I was quoted $150 for a new OEM driver for it. I was tempted to order it in, but what I worry about is throwing good money after bad as when will the amp die? It's 15 years old.

But I thought I'd have to try out Axiom as I am very impressed with their workmanship on the Bryston. The EP 500 looks pretty much in line with the Brystons in build quality.

Can't wait to hear your report on that 800, and lets see if you get the new phasing control.
