I haven't had time to read it, but thought I'd point it out:

I don't have a sub yet (6 months away at least).
May be a stupid question. If yes, then pardon my ignorance.
Can I put a table cloth on the sub, place it in a corner and serve as coffee table? Will it affect the sound quality?

48 hours AFTER I get my 2 SVS 20-39PC+'s!!!!!! I couldn't be happier with my subs, and I hope the 500 & 600 end up being great subs for Axiom. I look forward to a detailed review, hopefully from a couple of sources. But that is great news, the folks at Axiom were very high on these subs, and they may very wel have a right to be.

romeo,
Sure. My sub is at the end of my couch as a quasi-end table. Sound quality will be unaffected. Of course, once you get a sub, you may find that the bass is too strong if you place it in the corner. That's where you will get the greatest enhancement of deep bass from the intersecting walls and floor. But you can move it along one wall or the other away from the corner to reduce the bass output if it sounds too boomy.

dang...there are two items in that list that have been on my "I must have it" list. The Denon 3910, and that sub. Anybody got a couple grand sitting around they don't need? I'll gladly take it off your hands.

A better DVD/Universal player is the last thing on my list to complete my HT makeover. I really want the 3910 also, but am waiting for the SACD approval for Denon Link. I've heard so many good things about the 2910 (and at half the cost) that I might go that route instead.
I've had something of a spending spree these past couple of months, though, so I might sit on it for a bit.

A new dvd player won't be purchased in our household until we get a new tv...which god knows when that will be. But when that day does finally arrive, we'll be going all out, and I certainly don't want to have a $100 dvd player driving my $5000 +/- tv!
The subwoofer though...that may actually be a doable deal. We need an end table in the living room. If the measurements are right, an EP500 may work. I already dropped the idea past Roger...and shockingly he wasn't opposed to it.
An EP500 would make a GREAT house warming gift...(hint, hint Amie.)

Just tell Roger not to leave any delicate crystalware on the new end table during any bass-heavy movie screenings!

It wouldn't have more than a small table lamp on it.

That depends on what your definition of "grass" is.

I was just reading the Audioholics sight and found this statement odd for something that has won product of the year:
In reply to:
While we await our review samples of the new Axiom Audio EP 500, here is your chance to win one!
That is dated December 15th.
OK....how do you give a product an award before you review it?
I'm not questioning the subs' performance, I am questioning the award process.

I'd send them an email about that one. As much as I love Axiom, that's certainly fishy. I hope we're not getting into the same problem that print magazine have. If you advertise with them, you get good press. Axiom's product are good enough, they don't need that garbage.

I guess they base the sneak peak on what they heard at axiom. Of course that might be a bit early to add them to the product of the year or whatever but oh well.

I think it was from their review of a pre-production model. I sure am happy with my EP600, I'd be even happier if I came up with a way to isolate the rest of the house...
Where did you see the comment about winning one? (I could use a EP500 upstairs...)

I don't know but I sure would like to try..
If anything it would be really nice to hear the difference between the EP500 and the EP600.
I think I am going to have to 'box' in the HT in the basement to give it a floor off the concrete, and to insulate the floor above, as the floor flexes and vibrates too much right now when watching movies.

Hopefully we will get some UNBIASED reviews, perhaps someone who isn’t getting paid by axiom for advertising.
The subwoofer market will be tough to crack…………….
