RBH 1010-SEP or Axiom EP500 or Axiom EP600?

[davelee98]

I'm trying to decide between the RBH 1010-SEP and the Axiom EP500 or EP600 subwoofers.

Does the RBH sound any better than the Axioms? I'm considering it primarily because I can get it in rosewood finish.

My room is about 2000 CuFt, so I presume that any of the above will get plenty loud.

If you read the EP500 review, its shows Gene comparing the ep500 to his 2 1010sen subs. Seems to be leaning towards the ep. Plus it was given an award from audioholics.

Send a PM to gene, he has listenned to both, and will give you a good answer.

PS- Gene, prepare for a PM or 2

Hello
The RBH-1010 was a good subwoofer in its day but is dated
The EP-500 and EP-600 would be a significant upgrade
Lower extension and higher output are the two main benefits but there are others as well

Can't comment on the RBH but just received the EP-600 and it is a great sub. I would think with a 2000 cu ft room the EP-500 would provide more than enough bass. I have the EP-600 in a 7000 cu ft space and it is doing the job. I think that Axiom is onto something with their Intelligent DSP Technology. The EP-600 is comparable to my all time favorite sub, the Velo DD-18 but at about a third of the price. Axiom has a great 30 day trial and you would only be obligated to pay the return shipping(<$50).

An in-home demo is the only way you can tell if a sub (or any speaker for that matter) will work in you environment.

can anyone compare the ep500 to the svs ultra or plus/2?

You read my mind with this one

can anyone compare the ep500 to the svs ultra or plus/2?

Notice my signature. Now this a question I have been pondering on for a while. I would appreciate if anyone can resopnd to this one even though it is slightly off topic.

As long as it doesn't turn into a disaster like it did on AVS.

I like RBH speakers but the RBH vs Axiom would not be a fair shootout. The EP-500 or 600 would make the 1010 push up daisy's very quickly

It's Decided Then

Thanks for all the help.

I'll be contacting Axiom shortly to figure out which color to get

I think you'll be happy. Please report back with pics and a review if it is not too much trouble.

Im not talking about EP vs SEP,

Im talking 12 subwoofers, each from a diff manufacturer, and testing them to see who is the champ
