Yet...?

Just make us proud Slim and adorn that room with 8xEP800s.

Hey Mojo, you are killing me and my ears with the thought of that..... I have to use the single EP 500 in the back alcove bar area and see what happens. From there I will move onto either two more EP 500's or a combination of an EP 500 with another 600 or 800... we shall see (hear). I suspect the multiple smaller subs will work best. But then again what do I know?

The Epicenter EP800 is Axiom’s definitive DSP subwoofer and set a new world standard for ultra-smooth, deep bass extension at astonishing output levels, probing the depths of infrasonic response to a remarkable 13 Hz (anechoic), even to 12 Hz in a room!

So more of them is better...yeah?

Since I am listening to Don Henley at this moment "dirty laundry" at levels which approach a B-29 taxing up the to the run up zone, I have to report that this concert hall of a room is working so well with the T's... but I need some chest hits which good subs deliver. Multiple subs really do it: just trying to work out which ones. Too large can overload and too small will blow out. I think mid sizes will round it out... we will find out

I'm going to buy a bunch of stocks in hearing aid companies...

Ha! you are not serious, I know. Loud is good

There is loud and then there is TOOO LOUD. You should try living with tinnitus not much fun. It doesnt sneak up it just happens one day and never stops.

Slim, you, me and Craig are very fortunate room-wise. I don't know of many on these boards who have large rooms. Large rooms enable large speakers that have been designed "the Canadian way" to accomplish what they were designed for. By large, I mean a minimum of 4200 ft^3. The next speaker revolution needs to be virtualizing the acoustics of a system consisting of a large room, large speakers and high SPL into a living room condo.

I know it all too well. Yes it appears suddenly one morning and no, it never goes away. Some days its there and you hear it like it's a siren in an ear, and then other days you don't even recall it as a problem. It comes and goes, at least for me. But it doesn't stop the T's from playing loud

Mine was from a sinus virus, it just appeared as the aftermath; it was not from loud music or gun shots, it was a virus which caused completely stuffed up nose and hearing.... cleared out and then there was the high pitched 'ringing', never went away. Doc said it would clear up in a few weeks, but the Doc didn't know what he was talking about obviously.
