Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Upgrading HT

Ok guys/gals. I picked up all the equipment from my local fedex office after work on Wednesday. The triple boxing really adds up but everything did fit into my truck. About 20 minutes after I got home, my stomach wasn't feeling so well.

Fast forward to Saturday am and I'm finally able to eat. Turns out I came down with the stomach flu. I spent 2 days between my couch and the bathroom with these big boxes just staring at me.

Everything is now hooked up and sounds very nice. I only listened to a few songs in 2 channel and bits and pieces of some HD movies I had on my Tivo. I'm very pleased right now. I will definitely adds more thoughts once I really get these babies humming.

Now I need to fill in the missing piece - the sub! The size of my viewing area is about 15*15*8, the whole room is closer to 30 long. I'm really limited by how big of a sub I can fit.

Right now I'm looking at an SVS PB-12ISD(biggest footprint I can handle), HSU VTF-2MK , Velodyne DLS-R4000. The last model would be an SVS 25-31 PCI. The cylinder would fit nicely in the corner behind my l-shape sectional.

Any thoughts on which way to go? Velodyne has so many models just digesting their site is a project.

Chicago TC...2 things
1) Did you have to pick up the speakers, I don't have easy access to a truck
2) Kerry Wood, already your prognosis is starting to come true... Thanks, Guy

My room is close to the sixe of yours. My EP500 sounds great in it.

Sorry about your discomforts, but glad you are up and running (no pun intended).

Gharf,

I believe Axiom requires the delivery signatures which is probably a good thing as I didn't want $1800 worth of equipment sitting outside all day in the cold. I know I have a signature release on file with them, but I believe shippers can override this.

Re Cubs: wait till next year already is my gut feeling.

Would the 20-39PCi fit into the room (same width as 25-31 but might be too tall to hide). The 25 Hz tune used to be great for movies but every year there is more good stuff down below 20 Hz and you will miss some of that with any of the subs you mentioned. Of the three you mentioned, the PB12-ISD seems like the way to go...

After talking to Tom as SVS about room specs, viewing habits, etc I went with a 25-31PCI tuned to 22hz. It will be here tommorow. In the meantime I have pictures and info on my website. The pics are hard to take due to no natural light down in the basement.

Hey ChicagoTC,

I took a look at your site. Some of those images look familiar from another forum members site, but I can't remember who?

Nice job, enjoy the setup and theater!

I must admit I blatantly stole dllewel's layout from his equipment page.

Not a problem. Half the internet is "stolen/borrowed". I noticed the dolby/dts/axiom logos right off. I had found those and tweaked the axiom for the black background, but I certainly don't own them. Thanks to Axiom for letting us use the logo on our sites.

Now I feel bad that I said anything, you did nothing wrong. Enjoy the new HT room.

Don't feel bad I should have asked first. I searched for some images and noticed yours must have been tweaked. They looked great, nice work. Feel free to steal the pictures of my boat on the same website
