Maybe I could get a smaller sub that is still capable (in addition to my bigger sub) and that could help even out the bass response in my room.
Prior to adding my second EP-600 i was using 1 EP-600 + a JBL 8" sub.. There is no comparison between the 600/JBL combination to the 600/600 pair... I would tell you to get a second SVS sub like the one you already have, which one do you currently have btw?.. My room is 2400 cubic feet, and opens up to the kitchen as well as the entry way and the formal dining room.... So, my space "gobbles" up bass as well, the second 600 made a world of difference, it's not "in your face" but more filling, the correct amount of sub for the space that i have if you will. Good luck.

Good luck. I have the PC13-Ultra SVS sub (BASH version). It is great, but like you said, it isn't as filling as it needs to be. No way in the world I can afford another sub like that right now, though. So, I'll probably just have to look forward to moving someday to a house that has a room that has lower ceilings and/or smaller. How ironic!

. . . The 180 on the other hand is ported to the rear and you will need at least 12" of free space behind it. . . The rear port on the Axiom VP180 center speaker model as all other Axiom ported audio speaker models needs only a minimum of 2" of space to breath freely. Additional space might be needed to adjust bass response to your taste and the acoustic of your room. I have two Axiom VP180 installed in my dedicated Home Theatre room: the one above my front projection screen is only 3 " away from the wall and the one below the projection screen is 7" away from the wall. I could not be happier with their superb performance. Hi Jc, Thanks for the info on the minimum distance I believe I completely looked of that aspect when setting up my room. I'll play around with the distance to see if it can improve an already amazing sound. Do you play golf Jc? I lived in Magog/Sherbrooke/lennoxville from 1998-2004 (went to BU and worked around the area), and I'm sure I've not only seen you before, but actually had a conversation with you. I'm thinking Deauville golf range by the karting place. Possible?

Hi Majik,
I used to play golf but I have stopped several years ago. One day, I suddenly realized that I was not enjoying the game. It is understandable and it should have hit me before . . . when the cost of golf balls exceed the one of the green fee; it is time to move on . . .
I know the place you are referring to, it is actually in Omerville (between Deauville and Magog). I never hit golf balls there.
You must have good memories of when you were studying at Bishop's University; former students all have (as per my brother-in-law who studied there).
