The ep500 came in yesterday. I'm sending back the ep350 today.
I can say that the 500 really is an upgrade. It seems much more powerfull and seems to go much deeper.
I have it in the same position as the 350. When I used to do the frequency scan I did not really hear / feel the 350 until about 45 hz. I feel the 500 starting at 18hz. I even like it more with music. It actually seems less boomy (Not that the 350 was really boomy). It just seems more controlled. No matter how loud I play movies I'm no longer afraid to push the sub too hard. Some of you remember that I had clipping problems with the 350, which was the main reason I decided to upgrade. I am happy I did.
I do have a question.
Is there no "auto shutoff" feature on this sub like on the 350? If so, do you guys turn the sub off when you're not using the system or just leave it on?

Enjoy your upgrade! As for the auto-shutoff, I can't answer that (without some research anyway) as I am one of those bad, non-Axiom sub guys. When I got my Axiom speakers, the bigger subs from Axiom weren't being made yet.

I don't know about recent ep500. Mine does not have an auto-shutoff. I am using the 12V trigger (also connected to my A1400) to turn on/off.

350 has the auto sensing shutoff, not the 500 or 600.

I think I remember reading that with a digital amp the idle power is so low that auto shut-off was not required.

I wonder. My EP350 heatsink gets warm at idle when I forget to turn it off.

No auto shut off on EP500 ??? The Axiom EP500v2 powered subwoofer offers the state-of-the-art most advanced "Auto Shut Off/ON" device possible. In fact, it can't be improved; it is the ultimate solution. The reality is that the EP500v2 goes into a Shut Off/On - SLEEPING MODE even between notes which it has to reproduce. It is an "INSTANT ON/OFF" solution.

It could be improved.
But maybe only by making it not require power at all....
Stupid perpetual motion machines. Always perpetually non-existent.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
