Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Another Factory Tour.. Oh yeah and the ep800

I think they need to send me a whole sub.

Then, I'll proclaim that my room Sucketh No More and pronounce the 800 the Holy Grail of subs. Then, they'll sell lots.

All will be Happy in the Land of Sucky Rooms, and we all will Live Happily Ever After.

No it won't.

Mark, wake up, WAKE UP!, you're having another one of those dreams again, where you think you will actually make your room sound good.

I'm hoping you're not too far off the mark. It's the perfect opportunity to change the pricing. There are already some compelling reasons to get Axiom subs, but generally speaking, I wouldn't call them the best deal. Here's hoping they can pull off competitive pricing.

I said $2-5K because 1) the additional driver will take the price up a few hundred dollars -- hey, since I'm going to be buying one, I hope I'm wrong about that, and 2) I think the product is going to be such a winner in that it will easily compete with products in this price range.

>>I think they need to send me a whole sub.

Nah, they just need to send you the drivers, the amp board, and a paper template showing where to cut two round holes and in your wall.

>>Then, I'll proclaim that my room Sucketh No More

You need to think of it less as a room and more as a very large subwoofer. Face it, your room is about the same shape as an EP500.

There is a thread on the Audioholics site discussing the EP800 in which the author the article if I'm not mistaken Gene DelaSalla states that when he visited the Axiom factory he believes they were discussing a retail cost of $2400 for the ep800.

There was an old man,
Who lived in a subwoofer.

I saw that post too. Alas, I am not part of their target for this sub. I'm not too surprised though.

I am surprised that nobody from Axiom is here touting the wonders of their new products and teasing us with specs and eye candy. A most unusual launch methinks.

Hmmm. At that price, I'd probably have to consider two Hsu ULS-15s. I'm still waiting to hear more opinions on those. I would probably put the EP800 in the running if there was a significant savings for member's club preorders, and I'd probably trade up from my EP600. I know I want to go at least dual-sub. With the EP800, that's ALL I'd be able to do. For a long time, anyway. It would be much easier to go quad-sub with Hsu. Anyway, the final price hasn't been stated, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
