QC issues for the Axiom subs' amps notwithstanding, I've always figured that when there's a pretty big disparity in results of a particular sub model, it's likely coming down to placement.
Not to sound condescending, but many who have the
money for HT equipment, but don't yet have (or don't care to have) the
knowledge about the equipment and acoustical issues, are just likely to plop a sub wherever their wife says is OK and then write a review about mediocre performance.... never understanding that the location within and the dimensions of their room is extremely important to the end result.
That sentence is too long, but it says what I want!
