Quick service at Axiom thus far. I order the Epic 60 - 500 system and it is already in transit.

Get the windex for the hand and nose prints on the windows.

Welcome and congrats on the order. You are in for a new HT experience.

Do you have plans for acoustically treating your room? Ideally, try to perform an acoustic room analysis. Now that you have chosen one sub versus two, the setup will be a little more demanding. While you may have smoother output, you will still have room modes that need taming (having two sub would have allowed you to cancel some of the peaks).

I have not done that as of yet. Right now, the room is just framed up but I plan to do some research in the meantime.

Right now, I have all of my equipment with no where to install it - very anxious times.

So, an update on the progress. All electrical including speaker cabling has been done with plumbing and HVAC scheduled next week. We are shooting for the second week in August.

I'll post some progress pics when I can.

Sounds like you are certainly getting things done Errol. If your wife *still* likes the idea of a two sub setup ... a couple of 500s ought to fill the modes, nulls and gaps without any problems!

Good choice with the 500, seems to me that's a lot of area for a 350, regardless of how many you used.

Pictures!

All,

It has been a long time coming but "The Attic" is about 98% complete. I had to fire my original contractor and get another to pick up the pieces and unfortuntely redo some of the work. Despite all of this, I am quite pleased with the end results.

Thanks all for the advice in the beginning. I am pleased to say that I am enjoying a movie and a homebrew while compiling this post.

And here are the pictures:

It was when the pictures were taken. It is now on a platform which puts it about half way between the stage and the bottom of the screen.
