I know what you are talking about, I used to own Energy Encore System and I was always extracted by the center having all the dialogs. I sold the 5 speakers and get back M60. I am planning to buy QS8 in March but hesitate to think about an axiom center.

I am searching on ebay but hasn't find too many CC-370. However there are a lot of Paradigm Reference CC v2. I wonder which is superior.

I have a feeling that Axiom will have a redesigned center very soon.
