Hi there,
I have a question would it be better in terms of quality and cost to buy the epic 50 - 175? or to buy the speakers in the package and a different sub. I read in another post that people have purchased a different sub as you could get a better one or equivalent cheaper. I am also wondering did you guys purchase the home theatres or mostly just speakers for your setups?
Thanks, for the help.
Also anyone know where to find a well priced good receiver in Ottawa? I was looking to get the Pioneer VSX-1016TXVK but I was told it is no longer being made.

If you purchase five pieces from Axiom, you get a discount. Mains, Center and surrounds = five speakers. Purchasing the sub won't get you a bigger discount. What size is your room? If you only need a smallish sub, there are other options that may be a better "bang-for-your-buck" buy. You won't have the matching finish that you would if you stay all Axiom though. If on the other hand you need/want a real beastly subwoofer, the EP500 and EP600 subs are darn hard to beat for their price - and you'll have matching finishes to boot!

Yeah the room is medium sized 17X17. Your right about the finish though I forgot about that, and since I will probably go with the cherry it be hard to match. What other subs would you recommend?
Thanks.

Depending on your room size, I would recommend to buy M22 bookshelves and an EP350 sub (or EP500 if you can swing it). The mid range clarity will be greater on the M22s vs the M50s.

I'm a big fan of Hsu. Their line of subwoofers are most excellent. I can't think of the model, but there's also a small sub from Rocket that many people have raved about, though with your room size, I think you'd be better of with a medium/large sub. Your room is large enough to swing a good sized sub. I'd opt for a matching EP500. Order everything from the outlet and you'll get the full system discount, as well as the factory outlet discount. If you do a search on the forums regarding the outlet, you'll find that it's a no-brainer...order from the outlet!

Sounds like a plan I will buy from the outlet but which speakers or should I keep the same as the epic 50? I guess I want the best sound possible within the epic 50 175 budget.
Thanks for the help.

Keep everything in the Epic 50 package but replace the sub with the Hsu VTF 2.3 You don't say where you are from, the Hsu is a better deal for us in the U.S than in Canada.

If I do that I could probably upgrade the fronts to the 60. Sounds like a plan, when ordering from the outlet how that the right approximate time for or does it come sooner? I should order soon then.
I guess for that website I need to ship it to US and bring it back to Canada.
Thanks.

If having the same finish (color) for all your speakers is important, then you may want to order an Axiom sub. You don't mention what color your considering.
