I finally ended up getting the eD A5-350 after waiting for around 50 days. I was real close to canceling the order a few times but the wife was like, be patient, so I continued to wait.

Now that I have it in the system I'm glad I did. No review will be forth coming but if you read what I wrote about the A3-300 it will give you an idea of what this sub is like, just a whole lot more.

That's a nice looking sub, Rick. Enjoy!

Nice sub! Have you ever considered the A7S-450 as well? If yes, I was just wondering what made you pick this one?

That... thing in the lower right corner certainly stands still.

Lookin' good, Rick. Enjoy!

No, I hadn't considered that particular model. The A5-350 was at a great price point and seemed to have done well in the reviews I had read. Plus talking to the fellas over at eD they informed me the 350 had about as much output as 2 300s. The A3-300 did well in my room so I figured I couldn't go wrong with this model.

The reason I was asking is because I am looking into these 2 models from ED as well as the Epik Empire. The A5-350 and A7s-450 are around the same price except that the A7s has an 18" driver, a 1300W PS and is sealed (vs 15", 500W and ported) and I wasn't able to find a direct comparison yet. However, it seems that the A7S needs to be EQed in order to get below 22Hz.

Look like Axiom sub aren't that popular...

Looks great Bud, looks it could be a real treat during movie time!

Very nice Rick. That is a big son of a gun.

Glad it was worth the wait. Enjoy!

Thanks guys.

Philippe, Axiom makes very good subs, it's just that there are a lot of other good choices available as well, esp in the US.

I agree, and also a free access to audiogon

Watching "9" right now and oh boy this thing has a lot of output. The A3-300 did a fine job with this movie but the A5-350 is in another league.

Dat 1 big a$$ sub, thump thump thump

Very good, Rick; enjoy.

Congrats Rick. There really is no substitute for a good sub to enhance the HT experience.

There's always a better sub.

Well, now there's a thought I'm glad you pointed that out to me Fred.

That A7-900 looks kinda nice.

Nice looking sub..congraz

I had my sub choice narrowed down to those two also, the A7s-450 and the Empire. I decided to go with Empire and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure the ED would have been a good choice also, but with all of the hype and positive feedback on AVS recently about the Empire I decided to go with Epik. The fact that it has two 15" drivers compared to one 18" also seemed to be a plus. Granted I have nothing to compare it to really as it's my first sub, but after I set it up correctly it just sounds amazing for both music and movies.

That looks like a great sub. Congratulations.
