Omar, If you are interested in multiple subs, then have a look at this document . Two subs are almost as good as four subs but four subs would be the ideal. Two identical subs would give you 3dB more on the SPL meter but realize that this incremental increase is actually 2x (1.26 raised to 3) the sound pressure level/energy as one subwoofer. The key benefits of more than one sub are more output, flatter response, and perhaps most importantly, getting these two benefits over your entire seating area rather than just in the primary seating position.

Oh, you have plenty of room. You know what that means--two EP600s! I can't comment on the sound difference between the 500 and 600, but I've run multiple subs in both a two channel set-up and an HT set-up and loved the results.

I still say 500's work as great end tables. One firing forwards and the other backwards. Now that's an idea...

My space looks to be about the same size as yours and a single STF3 from Hsu, shook the place amazingly well and it wasn't calibrated hot either. 2 500s is more than enough LFE and will smooth out the nodes very well. The 500 and 600 are not that much different by the numbers. The 600 plays a little louder and deeper. I also recommend an upgrade for the exercise equipment as well. This is what I have behind my HT room and it doesn't take up that much more room.

thats a pretty sweet gym man! honestly, i wouldn't even mind just selling the gym i have now. i dont work out all that much and the stuff i do can be done with freeweights anyhow.
I wonder what a gym the size of mine would be worth these days.. we've had it since the early 90's

Out go the weights and in comes a pool table, or a full home theater renovation It sure is easy to spend other people's money I know if I hadn't bought the weight set and have little kids requiring me stay home more often than not,(as when they are sick the babysitting services at the gyms won't take them) I would have a pool table there.

Does that mean that two EP500's will give me a better quality sound than a single big EP600 would?
Yes. The only advantage of the 600 would be the slightly larger amp and maybe 3hz more extension. Everything would be the same except that the dual 500s would have more output and can be separated to smooth room nodes. Dual 500s wins over a single 600 every time.

Jason, I've been looking to buy a home gym and looking at alternatives. Which one do you have? Is that a Smith Machine?
