Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater EP 500 Review by Audioholics

I forgot about 3 QS-8s my favorite of them all!!!

For 5 grand the SS is unmatched, but the comparison was his sub vs Axiom 500/600. I still think if he wants an Axiom sub, the 600 is the way to go. My point is that he has a sub many envy.

I agree, including me (the envy part) I like everything I am hearing about the Axiom subs, even though I have not heard them personally. I wasn't getting in a pee-pee match, I am just passionate about my subs, AND my Axiom speakers. Anyone looking at the 500/600 seems that they would be purchasing one helluva great sub. As I said concrats to Axiom for their leap forward into a very competitive sub marketplace. My biggest thing right now is "possibly" moving the m-60s for magneplanar 3.6s purchase. But they are huge, and would throw a monkey wrench in my present 7.1 HT set-up. in 2 channel (stereo) mode it sounds great. But the sound of the 3.6s is so alluring, I made the big mistake of auditioning them again. They are so seductive, but would run 5k, and put 2 big doors (in size) to boot with 2 big water heaters, how much can one women take, Then the problem of sonically matching rears, surrounds, center, It seems to daungting in all.

Magneplanars are on my list to find and see one day.

Awesome Review

Bug, I am telling you they are magic, The best speakers I have ever heard........period. I also happen to love jazz, vocals, strings, less hard rock, however Steeley Dan has NEVER sounded better. They really accel in these areas. You don't really know what "imaging" can sound like til you here these planars. TWO (well three) major problems and they involve all numbers. That review was done 5 years ago. They were 3750.00 then. 4700.00 now+tax. You really don't get a deal on these. They are priced at what they are. I have tried. Used market does not yield much savings, then with shipping (damages??) really makes no sense. Next numbers 24 & 71, as in inches, yup a door, 2 feet by 6 feet. Now 2 more existing 52" cylinder subs, and Janis's next call is another number 1800divorce. It's going to take some sales skills, that I don't think I have, and I have not said that very often.

>>and put 2 big doors (in size) to boot with 2 big water heaters

Can't you hide the water heaters behind the doors and bask in the appreciation from your wife who doesn't have to look at the water heaters any more ?

This sounds like one of those problems that would take care of itself...

Nothing the lottery wouldn't take care of. Get or build a new house to match the speakers.
