Dennis,
All was great to hear and see!
Good on the guys to help with the sub settings, I know that is one area where I could use some help...
And your woodworking skills look amazing! That CD shelf is beautiful. And I cannot wait to see the finished cabinet, make sure you post shots of that when it is done.
Oh yeah, you built houses. I almost forgot.
I'm getting ready to try and build a new shelf system for my stuff as I cannot seem to find anything out there that I like. But I know it will not come out anything like what you have built. Wow!
Anyway, congrats on the great system, and the beautiful pieces to put them in / on.
Now we all have three guys to be jealous of.
You, and Ken and Peter for getting to hear it all!
Tom
PS: have you gotten any notes back from the guys at Axion about how all of this has been coming together? I'm surprised they all haven't made a road trip down there to hear it!

I think they're waiting for Ian to add the extra M80s and that second EP600 to his home system... "Gentlemen, we can not allow a speaker gap".

Think I have mentioned in a few posts that Alan has a friend in the bay area that he hopes to visit soon. He has seen Parasound products, but has of yet auditioned any. Alan has been a great of great assistance in the amp issues, and I have offerd to have him visit when he is in the SF area. Hopefully it will be soon and his schedule will permit the time for it.

Have not actually talked to Ian as of yet, ratehr imagine he is a busy person. But from what I have been told, like I, Ian likes his music rather on the loud side, so I think he would enjoy the sound of this system.

Actually a second EP600 is still on the list of additions, just that the Halo system killed the budget for a time, not sure when I will be able to have it arrve. Mayb e a x-mas present from some nice person that feels sorry for a lonely subwoofer in need of a brother. I think two of them side by side would look very impressive, and match the pairs of rear M80s and QS8s one sees when entering the family room.

Jack, still working on that issue. LOL Either I will make a matching step stool/ladder, or purchase something unique to fit the area, right now, the budget can hanldle a 5 gal a plastic bucket from Home Deptot.

tharkun- glad they could 'tweak' it out a bit, and get your system sounding great. kinda surprised those two jokers managed to get anything done.

peter/ken- thats cool y'all went over and helped out. i would love to see and hear that system myself. would definitely be a new experince for me.

I'll post my impressions in a little while. To sum up... Yeah, this was the best setup I've ever heard. Wow. Thank you, Dennis!

Hi Peter, Dennis, Ken,

Excellent account of getting Dennis's system tweaked and very sharp of you to spot the "Full" setting on the back of the EP600. Thanks for the great write-up. I'll make sure everyone at Axiom sees your summary.

We've been busy at Axiom, otherwise I might have zipped out to Oakland to check out the system. Ian was up at the National Research Council in Ottawa with some colleagues, an EP500, EP600 and some M80ti's, doing tests. Tom, our in-house electronics engineer, who designed the digital amplifiers and DSP algorithms for the subs, sits on the board of the Consumer Electronics Association (formerly the EIA) so he had to go off to Washington, D.C. for meetings after a few days with Ian at the NRC.

I'm stuck here cranking out the next Axiom AudioFile newsletter among other things. . .

Also liked the photos. Great work!

Regards,

Peter, you remain surprisingly tall.

Ken - and I say this with great respect and in friendship - eat. Really. You know, yummy fats, meat, carbs, whatever. You need a retreat with bigjohn.

Very enjoyable thread. Thanks so much for sharing.
