SirQuack shareholder in the making Registered: 01/29/04 Posts: 13567 Loc: Iowa	I used to have a 500 which was a great sub, I later upgraded to the 600. I also have 2 350's up front in the room, the 600 is in the back corner. I know in Alans initial review of the 350 it held its own against the 500 in many respects. The 350 is a great power house. For a few months I had one of my 350's upstairs in our living room which is about 15x20 with slight vaulted ceilings, and open into our kitchen/dining area. One 350 did a very good job in that space. So, I suppose look at your budget and go from there... _________________________ M80s-VP180-4xM22ow-4xM3ic-EP600-2xEP350 Anthem AVM60 Outlaw 7700 Emotiva A500 Epson 5040UB

It is the same size as the 350 but it digs deeper and plays louder. I know you have a smallish room but you would be surprised at how loud a sub needs to go to create some effects properly. _________________________ Jason ----------------- TTTHHHPPPPPTTTT! My HT

I hope I didn't break any rules doing this. No harm intended.

quakemax frequent flier Registered: 12/03/12 Posts: 12 Loc: Montreal	Originally Posted By: JohnK Quake, welcome. Depending on your budget, either the EP350 or EP500 should be considered. I use the EP500, and the lower extension is significant on some of the movie material you watch. The factor of the mains being on-wall doesn't really create an even greater advantage, since any relative weakness of that design would be in the mid-bass around 70-80Hz, and any good sub covers that well. Thanks JohnK, that is really helpful! I guess I didn't think of it that way. Originally Posted By: Hellcommute SVS is available in canada direct from sonicboomaudio.com I read alot about this company. They seem to really know their stuff when it comes to subwoofer. The thing is, I already got a gift certificate which brings the EP500 right in my budget. Plus, the service/warranty/return policy with Axiom is next to none in my opinion.

Murph axiomite Registered: 10/05/06 Posts: 6955 Loc: PEI, Canada	Also a vote for the EP500. Nothing is more satisfying than feeling Hulk Smash instead of just hearing it. Also, out of curiosity I just checked the sonicboomaudio site. Absolutely nothing against SVS subs but there does not appear to be an avenue for cost savings at their advertised prices for equivalent models. _________________________ With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

jakewash shareholder in the making Registered: 12/26/03 Posts: 10415 Loc: Calgary, Alberta	I think the best bang for the buck from SVS is the new PB12-nsd, new DSP amp, which keeps it flat and capable of reasonably high SPL. I think with shipping it works out to be a little less than the EP500. _________________________ Jason ----------------- TTTHHHPPPPPTTTT! My HT

I think with shipping it works out to be a little less than the EP500. the PB12-nsd was indeed the one I was looking into. But WAF is pushing me towards the EP500.
