Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater it's time to decide on a sub

i'm looking for advice on a subwoofer to help complete my system . for some reason i'm only looking at two company's don't ask why. Axiom has helped me build my new system with my m60's front speakers (very happy), my soon to arrive vp150 and qs8's, but axiom is not on my list for a sub . my room space is 17x17x14, i live in an apartment building so i don't want my neighbors to be knocking on my door the first day i connect it. svs and velodyne are the names on the list. possibly a low end cylinder sub from svs.not looking to spent more than $700. all this to be run through a soon to be released denon 2807 receiver. help

Hsu really has to be on your short list of choices.

Seriously.



I'm not joking.

how silly of me to go to an axiom forum and not include axiom as a possible choice, my bad.

Deadline, I think your confused by Spiff's post. HSU is a brand of sub, he did not say anything about why you don't have Axiom on your list?

Anyway, I will why would you not include Axiom as a candidate? It was very important for me to have all of my speakers with a matching color/finish. In regards to performance, their not bad either

I have a SVS PCi 20-39 and love it. Of course I bought it back when Axiom subs left a little to be desired. If I was buying it all over again today, I think that I would go with a nice Axiom sub. Granted it would cost me more than the SVS I have, but the cylinder subs are easier and cheaper to manufacture, so I would be paying for something that looked nice too. (My wife really does NOT like the looks of the SVS sub.)

For $700, though, you probably can get a better performing sub elsewhere than the EP350, but again, non-cylinder subs cost more to make, and you can't beat the look of matching finishes.

Just my 2 cents.

Based on his room/apt/requirements I think he can do better than the EP-125 or EP-175. If he was looking for something more substantial, I'd whole heartedly suggest he take a good hard look/listen at the EP-500/600.

For what he's describing, an STF-2 sounds like a good choice for him.

I have an HSU VTF3 and I really don't need it. I had a I'm gonna buy the big boy moment. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their subs. My son has a sealed(non-ported) PSB sub. I really like his. That might be something to look at.

Littleb, If you want to trade with my STF-2, I'd be happy .

Mine's only a month old...

My Outlaw LF 1 performs damn near as well as the EP 500 did. Doesn't hold a candle to the EP 600.

I'd pop the LF 1 on your short list too.

first time hearing the name, will check out there web site ,thanks
