Sub

[ParadigmDawg]

It has about 1" of clearence on each side. I am out of room man.

Very nice looking man-sub.

But is it touching the Paradigm speaker and TV cabinet?

If so, is it causing severe vibrations?

So does it cause your 73" MIT TV and Denon 3808 to vibrate?

 

[ParadigmDawg]

The chimney flute seems to vibrate the most.

Is that what was causing the rattle you had me convinced came from the sub?

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Nope, that was the DLP. Still weird that it would stop when I put weight on the sub.

DCX is gone, considering the SMS-1 but Audessy seems to be giving me what I am looking for at this point. Maybe I don't like a "flat" response?

The granite top will be done tomorrow so look for new pictures.

I would consider getting a more powerful amp as I can get the clip lights to come on during my normal movie watching on certain crazy scenes. Andrew said that the next jump up would be around 4k but I thought Chris said there was something a lot cheaper. Chris, did you tell me that?

The Xantech AC1 works great for turning the EP2500 on and off via 12v trigger and the ART Clean box DTI got rid of all ground loop issue. The Dawg is happy!

The 75 pound QSC RMX5050 is the logical next step to fully realize the potential of the AXIS. It will produce about 4000 watts bridged mono into a 4 ohm load, 20Hz-20,000Hz. It is about $1600. http://www.zzounds.com/item--QSCRMX5050

If you order this amplifier, please confirm by phone that you are getting the 120VAC version. There is also a 220VAC version.

Did you really think a mere 2000 watts was going to cut it with that monster?

Please note that you will need a dedicated high current wiring for this product. I would suggest a minimum of 10AWG dedicated circuit from the breaker box with a 20A breaker. While the circuit will not handle continuous output at full power, it will be fine for music, which only demands the power in brief bursts.

Note: you can pretty much get a 2nd AXIS sealed unit and another EP2500 amplifier, and get a 6dB gain, while keeping the stress on the drivers at a minimum, for about the same price as the new amplifier.

Thanks for the info. I am not ready to add a dedicated circuit to the house plus this thing is taller than the space I have in my credenza. I will just hold on to what I have and add a second AXIS when I build my dedicated room.

Okay. Just remember, the AXIS is a discontinued item and can be not available at any time. You should purchase the second unit soon and have it ready to use when the time comes.

Just waiting to see if another 'deal' comes along.

Check with Andrew. While it won't be as cheap as the super Deal of The Day (and don't count on that - I have NEVER seen a P.E. DOTD like that repeated), I think Andrew can get them a far cheaper price than P.E.'s regular price.

-Chris

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Yes, I know the price Andrew can get them. He also told me to buy two when the super deal was going on. I guess hindsight really is 20/20.

5:30 Texas time and the Dawg is up? It's 4:30 here and it looks like I get to run in the rain this morning.

 

[jamie2112]

What the heck are you doing up at 4:30 Matt..... That is early...

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Stupid Monday morning meeting 1.5 hours away from my house every week.

What are you running from Matt? Is somebody chasing you?

[ParadigmDawg]

Crap, I have been so busy that I forgot about the granite top. It is in the back of my car, I will go get it and stick it on to see how it looks.

Pictures to come soon unless something happens.

The granite top will be done tomorrow so look for new pictures.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Dang it, it looks bad. I think I should have had it where it tappered to the edges vs. capped. I think I will have it redone as it looks like a stupid top hat right now.

 

[Highbar]

I agree that it doesn't look too good right now the way it is but I'm afraid that if you have it cut so that it ends where the taper is it will look just as bad. Instead of a top hat it will look like a hat that's too small to fit. I think I might try a perfect fit with the size of the sub, not sure how that will look though. Good luck with it.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I agree, I think I will just leave it alone as I really like the way the wood looks.

Anyone want to buy a hunk of high grade granite?
