Cool, maybe it will be in place whenever I'm in the need for a sub upgrade...soon!

If this review was available when I bought my SVS I definitely would have tried it out first(EP500 or maybe the EP600), the EP500 and PB12+ 2 were approximately the same price. Too late for now. I wish there was someone in the Houston area with an EP500 or EP600 I could audition. Could always add an EP600 to level out the sound in all parts of the room.

When I was looking at my sub purchase, it was down to the SVS 39" Ultra and/or the EP500. Without hearing either and not many reviews out on the EP500 or 600 it was down to the wire. When Axiom came out with their "5 year warranty" I was sold instantly. Now top that with the design of these subs and the depth they are capable of, it was a win win purchase.

I ended up purchasing the EP600 (caught up in the bigger is better)and it is unbelievable. I usually have it running on less then half of it's power capability and it is goes deeper then anything I've ever heard.

You can't go wrong adding this sub to any HT system.

The agony lies in looking at such a flat curve, understanding that we're looking at some kind of near-ultimate here, and living in a community where a "Sub Wars" truce has successfully been in effect for a very very, very, long time.

Damnit dont tell me things like that, I thought I was satisified with my sub, now I am wondering what if...Although my sub has plenty of power, I have always wanted a little more...Maybe the addition of an EP600 or EP500 would put an end to that little niggle in my brain. One little detail of course, gotta scrounge up a few dollars to get one. Oh and the big screen TV that I have been wanting for a few months now(the Toshiba 63" DLP). I guess I will have to make due with current sub for awhile, at least until I get the TV. I do need to upgrade the old receiver too.

Damn all of a sudden I seem to be in a crisis, I need a whole new setup!!!

I think your sub already has a fair amount of power. I wouldn't be worrying about "sub envy" in your case...

I wouldn't even consider the 500. A matching 600 might be the only sub better than youy SVS.

I promised I wasn't gonna get in this debate. That being said I will put my DUAL 52" SVS ultra's with their monster powered Crown amp, against anything out there, anything. I think we just have to realize there are "several" great subs out there, and now Axiom is ONE of them, congrats for that - Axiom! This is coming from someone that owns FIVE pairs of em, 3 m-3, 1 m-60, 1 m-22 and a 150cc, (wow - how many drivers is that?) That also being said I keep pondering the 3.6 maggies for the main room. I can't forget their sound, but bringing the HT planer sound into all the other speakers is difficult to swallow.

No wonder the continent is still stable, despite Dennis's dual EP600s! It's counterbalanced by Jon's dual SVSes!
