The first official run of the new EP500s and 600s was yesterday. A few photos as Tom, Steve and Ian prepared to let their babies go that I thought might interest the local gang here:
Tom insists on supervising every step.
Cass prepares the first test . . .
The 500s get their turn . . .
John puts a 500 through its paces . . .
The first palette off the line of the new Epicenter EP500.

My lower lip is quivering with sadness, as I cannot afford to buy one.  (...yet)
Thanks for the pics Amie!

Your not helping my "upgradeitis" condition at all! 
Lookit all those beautiful babies in all the different colors lined up like a multi-ethnic task force to bring me (us) wonderful, beautiful, heart thumping, room shakeing, BASS.

Any chance we can get a nice close up shot of that back panel? It looks beautiful. I want to see what all those wonderful knobs do.

Weeping uncontrollably! I want a 600, but I'd have to move all the furniture out of my room to accommodate it. My wallet is happy about that, though.

That's funny, I looked at those pics and thought... "Hey, that 600 doesn't look THAT big..." and my wife prefers the form factor of the 600.  Pity I don't have that kind of cash.

I didn't realize the new EPs had that "slanted side" ASW design. Very nice.

Yes, the previous pictures and such made them seem MUCH bigger....almost ridiculous in size.
But these pictures lend the feeling of being acceptable in nature.

Yes, the EP600 is ASW and that makes it look even better lying down . . . as I discovered yesterday when Ian brought our SECOND EP600 home. Oh, my, the crystal was nice while it lasted . . .

May I recommend a case of Museum Wax?
Oh, and be sure to call your local seismic monitoring station in advance of firing up both those subs.

No kidding. I saw some article about some guy's system and he was running 2 PB12-Plus / 4.............9 feet apart from each other. True story...........the guy was reporting drywall cracks on the wall beind the 2 subs. I just don't know if I could ever spend almost $9000.00 on 2 subs, amps etc!!!!!
Can you imagine running to SS's? That would be something else. My PC-Ultra can shake all 1500sqf of my house now. 2 of those SS's would break stuff for sure!

My friend here in Colorado just picked up the same sub you have.
Oh, it's nice. I was impressed with it to say the least.

Neverhappy -- is it you or your wife that could not spend $9000 on two subs/amps? :-)

Just thinking out loud here. If you were judicious with your negotiations, you might be able to cover the entire $9K and have enough left over for dry wall tape or spackle if you sold the wife. Sometimes the most obvious solutions can resolve multiple issues.

Actually the trick is to have the wife sell you.(less guilt and maybe she will sell me to some hotty ) Just grab the Axioms and go.

You know, I was thinking just the other day that Axiom must be a nice place to work/own. My understanding is that employees get Fridays off, and the management MUST love producing a product that makes people so happy!
I mean, us users get absolutely giddy when we purchase the product and hear that it's shipped.... then rant and rave after how much we like it and convince others to buy it too.
Of course, I'm only looking at a couple of aspects of the big picture, but there must be a little sense that the users are a little like family?
Then again, we weren't invited for Thanksgiving!

they also get 2 hour lunches, there is free supply of speaker cable and interconnectors in the break room, and the first monday of each month is "mandatory margarita monday".. salt and lime not included.

That's it then.
Now that my Axioms are purchased and I don't hav to pay that tax everyone complains about, AND since Bush won, I'm moving to Canada.
Anyone got room on their couch for a guy who travels with his own Axioms? (I won't borrow yours!)

You could be the Canadian travelling salesman. Bringing your axioms to interested people so that they can hear them in their own home before buying them! They just have to give you a place to stay for a week in return.
