Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater single EP500v2 meets THX ultra?

Have you contacted Axiom? They may have an old amp from a return that they could build you a new looking one from scratch. That may be the only way to find a “pristine” one. Also keep an eye on the auction site I think I’ve seen one pop up there. I’ve seen a couple on sale at various other forums like AVS. Also keep an eye on AudiogoN.

Is there a reason besides the trim control on the amp you want a “v2?” With the DSP circuitry the performance should be nearly identical with “v3.” I could understand you needing another “v2” if you use the trim control, I found/find it very effective in two different rooms.

since there have been some minor problems with earlier versions of the EP amps, I would prefer a newer model. As Grunt asked, why? the amps should be very similar.

I very much like the flexibility of the trim control, especially if i have to move the sub to a smaller room later on. Aside from the problems of the V2 I've read here lately, I could've sworn I read more problems with the V3 amp before. I also personally don't care much for the RCA/phono adapter inputs and vent holes on the V3.

Been checking other forums and audiogon to no avail so the search goes on. Will also try to contact axiom if they have enough spares to rig me up an identical V2.

What don't you like about the vent holes?

I just prefer the old simple holeless look I guess...nowhere for roaches to find their way in

Anyway, personal preferences aside, I just want and identical twin if still available anywhere, it's an obsi thing...
