- Unlimited finish options

Introduction
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.

Exellent! Let us know how it sounds when you get it all set up.
The EP400 puts our a lot of bass for such a small box!!

I pulled the trigger and went with the Epic Midi 400 system with the M22s. It sounds great, I am happy!
