The ultimate performance package: you will never go to the theater again. If you're looking for speakers so transparent and neutral that they literally disappear into the action, then the Axiom Epic 80/600 system is for you. It mates the new Epicenter EP600 v2 no-compromise DSP 600-watt subwoofer with the flagship Epic 80 system to redefine the phrase "high fidelity." This system is ideal for home theater addicts who want spectacularly deep subwoofer bass to 15 Hz and below, playing powerful bass frequencies at very loud levels in really big rooms. AudioRevolution's Brian Kahn raved: "They have the sonic chops to reproduce sound that keeps up in quality with your high-definition picture. They are that good and, for the price, they are a steal."

The Epicenter EP600 v2 subwoofer achieves ultra-low bass with none of the uneven performance of conventional subs. The Axiom custom-programmed Intelligent DSP “algorithm” controls every frequency from 16 Hz to 100 Hz, maintaining a smooth, flat response within 1.5 dB across the range. That means you'll hear undistorted, profoundly deep rumbles all the way to 13 Hz or even deeper in typical rooms. And the sophisticated DSP chip inside prevents the EP600 v2 from ever being overdriven into distortion.

Very large family rooms, lofts, or “great rooms” with vaulted ceilings —8000 cu. ft or more -- are all suitable candidates for the Epic 80/600 system. The 39.5-inch-tall M80 v2 main towers, with six drivers, including dual 6.5-inch woofers, dual 5.25-inch midranges and dual tweeters, achieve high dynamic range and excellent, clean, high-volume performance with an airy, spacious soundstage and neutral, high-accuracy music reproduction. The VP150 v2 center's five drivers have exceptional power handling and wide dispersion for fine dialog intelligibility and a seamless front soundstage. Coupled with the EP600 v2 sub, the Epic 80 will handle hundreds of watts per channel with music or movie soundtracks. The QS8 v2 quadpolar surrounds, with four drivers each, deliver an astonishing sense of envelopment in the ambient surround soundfield with movies or music.

(Note: the M80 v2 tower's impedance is 4 ohms. Big rooms call for a separate power amplifier for the M80 v2 towers. An A/V receiver rated to drive 4-ohm loads without overheating or shutting down is recommended. Call Axiom for recommended receivers or amplifiers that will drive the 4-ohm M80 v2's.)
