Axiom Audio Epic Midi 400 Speakers Review
Axiom Audio's Epic Midi system is a great "home theater-in-a-box killer" that starts at just $1338 and is built around the small M2 (v2) speakers. To get the most out of it, however, you'd want to opt for the much more sophisticated and powerful EP400 subwoofer - a $600+ premium that lands the system among stiff competition in the ~$2000 5.1 home theater speaker market. While expensive, the EP400 was the most impressive part of this system and stole the show as it certainly outperformed the expectations we had for what an 8-inch subwoofer could do.

When you invest in electronics, be it for the home theater or for the home office, battery backup is something that should not be left out of your budget. In these days, when time equals money, it's unthinkable that a lightning strike, random brownout or other electrical snafu could cost you hours of work or even thousands of dollars in equipment. CyberPower's PR1500LCD UPS will guarantee your work doesn't get wiped out when someone down at the local power station decides to trip over an extension cord, or a squirrel forgets that running the Nutty 500 race across a wet power line might not be the best decision he's made all week.
I love certain gadgets that are targeted to making our lives easier. ezGear showed off a product that extends their top selling ezSpace UFO space saving surge protectors with the introduction of the ezSpace Wall Mount UFO. Weird name, cool product. Created in the shape of the iconic round... um, UFO, the ezSpace UFO is a 6 outlet plug expander with built-in 1050 Joule surge protection that provides space for a large plug or transformer on each outlet.
The APC AV C10 marks another well executed and no BS A/V power product from a company that is, in my experience, unparalleled in their collective knowledge of power protection and backup. With all of the major safety agency approvals (ie. UL, CSA, Part68, etc), 12 filtered and surge protected outlets, connections for cable TV, phone, ethernet and line voltage monitoring, the APC AV C10 is everything one could ask for in a power strip and more. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a cost effective power filter solution with ample outlets and unparalleled reliability.
APC has long been associated with UPS and power solutions. The H15 performs its every job superbly - of that there is no doubt. Personally, the H15 embodies the perfect marriage of form and function. It looks as good as it performs. The H15 provides top of the line protection and regulation along with the piece of mind that can't be beat at this price point.
Being addicted to audio, video and home theater is a life long habit for which there is no cure. Once you get a taste, you are officially part of the audio/videophile habitual users’ club. Being hopelessly addicted, you now spend countless hours thinking of ways to improve your system. Spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars on the next piece of gear to improve your system, you finally reach the point of diminishing returns. All is well until the first power surge or lightning storm turns your A/V masterpiece into something that more resembles abstract art.
Having a home theater system is a prize possession for those who can afford such luxury. When one plunges thousands of dollars into such a system, it is wise for them to have ample protection from surges coming in from the AC power line. Money spent here will decrease the probability of replacing or repairing expensive damaged equipment caused by a faulty AC line.
