It's hard to tell colours at night time.

I think Adrian is just a little behind what mojo was able to accomplish in his short time before how quit the forum.

That's insane. I feel like I post a lot, which I do, but I'm definitely outclassed.

It has nothing to do with being positive or negative, just realistic!
Some people are like Slinky's, not much use however, when pushed down stairs, they make you smile.

Some members on this forum, for whatever reason, feel their opinion is the only one that really matters; people who have what I call “tin god complex”. My opinion of the VP180 design is based on what I've read in many reports on designing a good centre channel speaker. Axiom is not the only source of information Ken. In fact, Axiom is not even a reliable source of information; it’s kind of the Fox News of audio.

It's hard to say this without sounding like an Axiom apologist, but they are certainly aware of conventional wisdom regarding center channel design, have even experimented with such designs and driver layouts, and have ruled them out by subjecting them to blind listening tests against other, less conventional designs.
This is how Axiom operates. In fact, the answer to the question "Why did Axiom design it this way when other companies do it that way?" is often "Because they found that way didn't stand up to this way in their tests."

I don't know when "unconventional" started becoming "bad". So many people spend so much time looking at specs and paper stats (especially people who frequent online, or purchasing online) and don't think about that maybe, the guy who designed the thing just might know what he is doing, or might have tested it a thousand times and found no discernable difference? If it's "worse" on paper but nobody can hear it, who cares? I work in the tire industry and it's like when someone asks why such and such a tire doesn't have such and such a tread design, which perhaps they prefer, and is a very frequently asked question. I usually say it's because they guy with the engineering degree from Harvard says this is better .
