Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners EP125 or EP175

Awesome. I look forward to hearing what you think of them in that arrangement.

Any thoughts on how it would be to stack an m5 or m2 / m22 on top of a sub as a quasi tower in a 2.2 setup. ?

Or is that just a bad idea.

It would be fine with some damping on the speakers. I think Axiom sends out silicone stickies with the bookshelves.

Try to keep the faces of the speakers flush with the sub faces to minimize reflections and diffractions.

A bigger problem might be location of the subs. If the speakers are being placed in a corner (of course that wouldn't be you), the subs may go BOOM! I've found a third of the wall away from a corner and away from the wall works well for subs.

Well that’s good to know that it’s doable. Kind of a cool setup really. As far as placement goes I would just treat them as a tower speaker once the level matching was sorted out.

Guess I’d need ep500 or ep600 to get the tweeters at ear level. Ha.

Edit: M22 must be a special order product I guess. Not on the site other than in refurb store. See!! Here we go again. Another idea gonna get me in tizzy!

Axiom doesn't want to sell it but it will never go away.

Kodiak, do you know how much power your receiver is kicking out?

Also, and I hesitate to say this, but there is an EP350 on the refurb store that would change your life for only $450! If you don't buy it, I will!!!

Buy the 175v4 instead of the 350v2.

why why why! I do realize this conversation is now happening in two threads!

See other thread. Lol!

Rebulx. It’s gotta be Boston Cherry. But yes I did see it.

80wattsx2 @ 8 ohms. With 120 watt “ peak “. I think it’s a reasonable receiver. It’s “ vintage “ now!! Ha ha ha!!

Yeah sorry about the 2 threads. That happens. It gets sidetracked and off topic. As usual.

As for why? I know mojo is a v4 aficionado!!! And as mentioned above the v4 are had Andrews improvements in them. I’m waiting to see how it all goes in mojos setup.

I move very slowly with purchases and am a perpetual tire kicker of sorts. I’m in no rush and am trying to learn how to love what I have. I will eventually upgrade things when the right thing comes along or it just hits me! Like a aha! That’s what I’m doing!

Edit: I should add too, that I’ve learned a ton along the way by thinking about all this stuff and asking questions and experimenting with what I’ve got. There’s a nuance and minutiae to it that I find very interesting. When I do finally upgrade a component or something it will be one piece at a time to really understand and know how it’s changed the setup for better or worse. If I just buy a whole bunch of stuff at once I won’t learn how it all interacts with each other.

Welker ripped it a new sphincter, flung a couple of braces here and a new amp there and blessed it good to go with his iron ring.

P.S. He designed a higher volume box for the EP125 to better match with the extra power boost he built into the amp. The EP125 is actually an EP200 with 2.5 times that power for peaks.
