New Axiom subs

[Allen42]

Sheesh guys, this was about subs.

From reading about the EP500 and the specs....and I know you can not tell everything about a sub in the specs, I do not see any advantages over a Hsu VTF-3MK2.

Craig lives in Erie!

Yeah...but he doesn't have any more SVS subs...and the only Hsu he has now is the STF-1.

Erie? Hmmmmm.....I really don't think I'll be able to go that far to listen to a sub! I know it is only about an hour or so away, but I don't have a lot of free time, especially since I would be doing it without the wife and tater-tots along.

Back to my original post on this forum: Would the STF-2 be a noticeable improvement over my PSB subsonic 3(12", 180w)? I know it is a tough call since you guys probably never heard this sub first hand. It is a ten year old design, so I'm thinking that today's $400 model will equal or surpass a $800(b&m priced)model from ten years ago! I paid $450 used! The amp has a protection circuit against over driving. I called PSB once to find out, for the heck of it, what a replacement amp would cost. Let's just say I could have a new VTF-3MKII for what they said the cost was!

I'll let this thread go back on course now!

Have you gone to CompUSA in Beachwood to see if you can listen to one there?

Edit- Be sure to check the settings. The CompUSA guys told me it was awful. I turned it around and adjusted it correctly and they were impressed.

Yeah....been there. They don't carry it....never heard of it!

I'm wondering if any of there stores around here carry it?

I will have to call some other locales and see.
