Evening all! Hope everyone's had as magnificent a Memorial Day as we have here in sunny southern CA....
I have been trolling around reading up a bit on sub-woofers. I've noticed that many of the posters have other than Axiom subs, and was wondering if anyone has knowledge of a comparaison between the Velodyne "flagship" 1812 and Axiom's EP600. They're both digitally controlled for low distortion. The Velodyne has about three times more power, besides having two drivers. I wonder how different they really are?... Anyone heard or read anything?

Umm, at $15,000 or so I would hope the Velodyne would be better...

You could get 8 EP600's with a budget of $15,000.

Bet that would be better. Then you could do that cool circle of 600s.

Seems the $15k is full list price, several online places sell it for more like $10k. Using Google not finding any extensive reviews about it, one buyer stated it was expensive and heavy if that helps.

Well, if it's only $10K, I'm right there. Buying now. Pressing the button.

It only weighs 385 lbs. If it doesn't rock the house when it's on, then it certainly will if it tips over.
