Also, wouldn't you get a trade-in bump on the Axioms? Hmmmm... I'll have to check into that. I had assumed that the trade-in program was really only beneficial if you were taking a pretty serious step upwards....

Having heard none of these, I can only take your word(s) for how good the new 350V3 is. There's been a few threads where members have asked about the new specs without a reply if I remember, right(?).
I don't know how much stock I personally put into a "not publishing specs so sales of the 500 don't suffer" theory. It seems that from what I'm seeing, if they don't publish the new specs the sales of the 350 itself would suffer in comparison to other manufacturer's offerings.
I certainly LIKE the idea of giving my money to the Axiom folks...

Hmmmm ... (again).
It looks like if I traded-in, I could get two of the new 350s for $1061. I don't quite get the full tade-in value for my old one with the two new ones, but if I added a pair of M3s to the cart I'd get the full value of the trade-in...(saving $100 off a pair of M3s!).
THAT sounds really tempting...though I'd still like to find out how low the new V3s go.....

Mark, when I traded in my M40s for the QS8s I ordered a pair of M3s for the same reason--more trade-in value and a good deal on some great little speakers. Win/win.

Mark, buy an EP350v3 and just have a listen or better yet have it shipped to me and I can run some test tones through it and let you know how low it goes, then you can get another one for yourself Actually if you wait a bit, I have the SVS counterpart, to the 350, the PB-12NSD, coming[crosses fingers] this week. I know Mojo and Framer are willing to get together one more time for a comparison and we can hopefully do some test tones for you and see how low each goes.

Mark - 2 subs in a 13 x13 room. You are my hero! With dual subs, you'll need to deal with the nulls, but that is a small price to pay for everything else you gain (headroom, extension and smoothness). Tak a look here at Craigsub's test results to help you out a bit. Frankly, with the subs you mentioned, you look to be in that sweetspot where you have narrowed your choices down to where you really can't make a mistake with what you buy.

I'm certainly in no rush.... I'd love to read more comparisons! Ray, I think I would only qualify as a "hero" if I could convince my Mother-in-law to sew a big cushion to use on top of a horizontal 600. Hell, if I could turn a 600 into a loveseat, I'd be my OWN hero!

Such a loveseat would be something alright. It's certainly beat a beaver!

I think the eD A-9(?) classifies as a love seat.

Be careful about the loveseat idea. I was going to do the same with my vertical 600 but then I realized there's no cross-bracing above the driver.
