Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Texas' New Epicenter

John,

I was incorrect. The Denon spec says "subwoofer load impedance: 10K". So the Denon's output impedance is likely 1K which puts the 600 at about 470 Ohms.

You let the cat out of the bag or should I say beaver.

Yes, everyone, Mojo does have the PB13 - Ultra, we just didn't have time to do much playing, so I left it with him.

If the Axiom EP350v3 sounds better than the EP600 then I have to hear it. I was listening to Mark Knopfler's "El Macho" with my EP600 last night and damn this sub puts out musical bass. It will be a fixture in my hi fi gear for many years. My dad has the EP350 (version 1 I guess) and it does not come close to being as musical as my sub. I hope the original poster finds the bass he is after whether it be with Axiom, SVS or whomever.

Tex, were you hearing it with the EP350?

Being that I have a denon 3808 I might just hold off on adding an ep600 to my current 500.

However, I was able to hook up 2 500's with no problems really- so maybe it would work ok... Is there much of difference between the 500 and the 600 when it comes to running them from a single receiver?

Nothing like a little teaser...

Any more tidbits on your initial impressions? Will you be doing any more testing today? Can ya tell I'm itchin' to know?

no.

Ok Mojo, I had to go listen to some music. Part of it on my system is the level of the sub. If I turn the sub just 1 or 2 db higher the resonance overpowers the initial attack and I hardly hear it at all. Just a few lower and the attack and resonance become disconnected.

BTW, my ears pretty quickly adjust to any new bass level and it seems correct...except.

Eric and David,

Unquestionably, the 350v3 sounds more like a traditional sub. It has a respectable attack and well-mannered "thump". As to whether or not it reaches as low as the 600, I really don't know. That would have to be determined via test tones. IMO, the 350v3 offers incredible value.

Kinge,

I've tried and tried and I can't get any attack. At least not attack that is to my liking. I get a lot of what you call "resonance" and what I call "ringing". Maybe if one has a cushy, dampened room this ringing dies away rapidly. That's not the case in my room.

It's a vastly different story with the PB13 though.
