I am glad you said that, I thought something was wrong with me.

Default Axiom EP800 User's Review

If anyone is interested in a non-Hebrew language review, I picked up an EP800 around the beginning of this year and posted my thoughts and review on Axiom's forum.

As a highlight, in my room I was able to achieve better than +/- 2dB from 13Hz to my crossover point. Numbers aside, it sounds amazing as well.

I'd also had the PB13 Ultra in my room in the past and included comparative graphs from what I recorded with the PB13 as well. The tests are not meant to be scientific as they were done at different times, but they were done in the same room and give you some idea of how the two subs compare measurement-wise in my room.

Here is the link to the review:

http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubb...748#Post244748

And here are some cheesy pictures of me with the sub. The pictures of the sub in high gloss cherry aren't bad either.

Hopefully these are helpful to anyone interested in the EP800.

Jason

Nice job Jason but realize your graphs are highly smoothed. You should re-measure with 1/24th octave resolution to get a better picture of what is happening with your sub to room integration.

Thanks for the pics....

The finish on those subs looks much nicer then the reviewed model, which doesn't paint a very good picture of it...

Very nice looking glossy finish... congrats...

The high gloss cherry and burled walnut vinyl finsishes Axiom offers are really amazing. I had a chance to see them both beside the real thing during a factory tour and you could not tell the difference until you were within a foot or two of them.
