Axiom EP500 vs. SVS PB12/2

[Jay]

Which one would you suggest? I have already ordered the rest of my speakers from Axiom (M60, VP150, QS8) and have the opportunity to include the sub at the 5% discount price. However, I have read so many good things about the SVS subs that I am afraid to pass them up.

Need to be more specific. Is it the PB-12NSD/2, PB-12Plus/2, or the PB-12Ultra/2?

PB-12Plus/2

Sound quality aside (which you'll get many opinions) consider size. I've often suggested that people grab some cardboard boxes from their work or grocery store and put together a life sized model of some of these larger subs. You can grab a tape measure and measure it out, but you won't really get the feel for it unless you have something three dimensional sitting in your room. All it takes is some tape and some time.

...or in the case of that SVS, just push a freezer chest over to the desired location.

I couldnt agree more on the size part. In fact I did something similar to Tom's suggestion except I used various boxes lying the garage. It definitely gives one a good idea about the size....but the weight still is a shocker!!! In that case definitely go for the ice chest

Creating a mock sub is fine for size feel, but seeing the actual thing is still a awe striking experience.

I have the same speakers
M60,VP150,QS8 and I have an SVS PB-12 ISD/2

my room is apx 2700 sf

the SVS is IMO capable of filling a much larger room.I am very happy with the setup but if i could do it over i would get the plus2.

It is big though.

Ive never heard the Axiom subs but im sure they are quality products.

I'd go for the PB-12Plus/2.
