Axiom Audio EP800 Subwoofer First Review

Hometheater.com.il, an Israeli home theater website has published a review on the Axiom Audio EP800 flagship subwoofer. Penned by Itai Hazum, the review is rather in-depth, and if you can handle the Hebrew-English translation via Google Translate, you can glean some pretty cool info about the new product. From the review:

It is on the flag ship of the new company, and - Axiom use of existing infrastructure EP600 model shares the same box with the EP800. [It is identical] except that instead of one [12" driver] and the port, [the sub] includes two [12" drivers] and the box is closed, [The EP800 has] a volume of 135 liters [6 cubic feet] gross... Changes were made to the mechanism of the DSP to give this model a flat curve [down] to 13hz!... Axiom calls [this] XLF, or Extended Low Frequency...

The sub is obviously made to go extremely low, and the sealed design ensures that there is no port noise along the way. With a rated spec down to 13Hz (anechoic) this is one sub that really plays low. The review takes measurements with the subsonic filter on and off and does an almost complete tear-down of the sub, showing off its drivers and accessories. The listening tests are brief, but overall they seemed to rank the sub pretty high in terms of its performance and quality.
