I bought my M60 fronts, VP150 center, and QS8 surrounds all from the factory outlet, and they look great, and sound the same as any that are not from the "factory outlet". In fact, Axiom won't sell them if they don't sound perfect. They only sell ones with small cosmetic imperfections in them at the factory outlet, but most people are hard pressed to find any flaws even visually.
