it seems that a bunch of audio guys agree on the same thing: two subwoofers are better than one. While one may pound, two will give better more quality bass because they will self cancel out the noise wave distortion. That is my understanding of the situation as such.

Does that mean that two EP500's will give me a better quality sound than a single big EP600 would?

anyone got pics of what a horizontal 600 looks like in a room? How's the WAF on those lol :)?

...wooooow...that thing is like 3 and a half feet long.......i wonder how much floorspace that would occupy in my theater area \:\)

maybe if i put it infront of those center cabinets under the TV (they're empty anyhow..they just house power plugs and maybe an AMP down the road)

That would work. But you should move that ottoman so that you don't get smacked upside the head during LFEs \:\) .

In that room I would consider going with a 500 or 400, as they are easier to place. The 600 takes up lots of room in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. Yes, the footprint is the same in the vertical model, however, it is still very tall and takes away from the room decor options.

I think a 600 would be very imposing in that room. My vote is for two EP500s. Good luck fitting them in there, though.

... or just put the flower pot on the verticle 600! On second thought, put the flower pot on the floor in front of the 600. That's where it would end up anyway \:o

there's quite a bit of backspace in the room..i could always have one in front of the room and one behind the couches to compliment the surrounds
