Thank you for the response Alan. I am using the Audiobytes in a 12' x 12' study. I am curious if a EP125 would be a substitue that might provide more of the "thump" and "boom" for modern music & games, etc?
At this point I feel it would be a stretch to describe the EP0 as providing "Powerful bass impact and depth." However I can tell you that the Audiobytes themselves are an absolute dream for an office. After months of searching I think I am 75% of the way there.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,
Oh, for sure, the EP125 will deliver much more of the thump/boom factor. The EP125 has its own dedicated 125-watt amplifier as well as a larger enclosure and bigger driver than the EPZero.
It's also why we provided a line-level Sub output jack on the back of the Audiobyte amplifier, so users could upgrade if they wanted to or use a larger powered sub they might already have on hand. I'd also point out that the EPZero is $179US versus the EP125 v2's $430 US.
What source signal are you using to drive the Audiobyte system and where do you have the output level of that source set?

I would say get an EP400, small and explosive.

Hi Randy,
Absolutely! The EP400 is the way to go if "discretionary income" permits it. Why compromise? Life is short. . .

nope, just think for someone looking for a small enclosure that packs a wollup, the 400 might be a good choice. Actually, I was considering it, but opted for 2 of the 350v3's to add to my 600.

I wouldn't say the 400 packs a wollup, it does reproduce notes down very low faithfully but does lack the punch of the bigger drivers. When I compared it to my 10" 200 watt 12yr old sub, my sub shook the house much better than the 400, but the 400 produced sounds much more musically and sounded fuller. The 400 is a great sub for a music only system but I wouldn't recommend it for any form of HT use except in special circumstances where rattling things isn;t desired.

My comment was considering this was for the OP's 12 x 12 study, not HT applications.

He mentioned games so I was thinking more HT oriented, ie. explosions.

He could do a whole lot better for the money going with another manufacture.
