Out with the old sub.......... in with the twins










All that's left now are the QS8's

Holy smokes, that is a nice set up. Cool pics too I love Rush, I bet it sounds way nice.

It looks nice but what do you do for bass?

I hate you!

(not really, just wish I had even ONE EP800, let alone TWO!)

Damn ... that's nice!

I've still got my EP500 for that
: still waiting for CV's pics:

Oh God .....I need a tissue ...

Duuude...

::Drool::

Oh crap, I need a mop bucket! That is one beautiful setup.

uuuummmmm WoW!

Those things make the M80s looks small.

TIP: don't stand naked in front of them.

Gawjus, Mel. Enjoy. And don't let Peter's Old Audiophile's Tale deter you; listen in the nude to your heart's content.

VERY nice, Mel! Is that the HG Cherry vinyl, or a Vassallo finish?

Yes, making the M80s look "small" definitely informs us about the real world proportions of the EP800/600.

Do you seriously expect me to post pics of mine now that these shiny ones have been posted?

Oh yeah... well i have bass too...

Can't wait to see/hear them in person on Friday Mel, absolutely beautiful.

I'll loan you my QS8's till yours arrive, as I don't seem to need mine for awhile longer

Holy Crap, that's beautiful!

Is that a Denon amp on top of the rack?

Very nice!

Thanks guys for all the compliments.

Tom, all my speakers are HG Rosewood.
Jay, if there's something you want to demo on Friday bring it along.
CV, I thought is was a forum rule for PICS. No excuses

Was able to do a partial listening test with the new setup and have discovered some new house rattles I'll have to get rid of in the future.
I wish I could do a proper HT setup, I'm starting to get a little boxed in now.

Hmm... well, I may have to get someone to photoshop in a divine glow before posting.

Can I lick them?

YES

WOW, your neighbours are love this setup.

Alright, after spending a few private hours with Mel's pics, I have a question: Why doesn't Axiom have a Halo Product that incorporates the EP 800 and M80's? [Insert concept pic from Mark.] If you look at my current favorite speaker in terms of concept and execution, you can easily see that Axiom could provide a $8K to $10K speaker pair that rivals the $30K to $100K crowd in every way short of ground-breaking cabinetry. As you can see from the more-detailed web page, they use three (3) 10" subs with a mid-range head to make a stunning speaker that apparently sounds pretty darn good too. The Music.


The Axiom sound quality is already proven, and value is already the hallmark, now reach a new market. Mel's set up is primed for a combined Axiom Product and he is not alone. Hey Ian, name it the Axiom "Zimm" (really speaks for itself right!) and I'll sell you the idea for free! Otherwise, I'll have Mark glue an M80 to EP800 and compete directly.

Edit: My intellectual property counsel tells me it might have been short sighted to offer the idea to the universe without protecting it first. Anybody know how to delete a post. Dooh!

Counsel, you're screwed. You shouldn't need to warned of that by one of your associates. Now someone(Bose?)is highly likely to pick that up.

Bose would do a nice job with that. They would order the separate speakers for $7K from Axiom, literally glue them together, and then cover them in cheap plastic. Attach those left over plastic grills from 1983 and their ready to go - for $197,000 a pair.

They would also replace the metal drivers with treated paper drivers.
