One interesting thought.....Noticing how many folks are purchasing EP500 and 600s instead of SVS and Hsu these days; I wonder how many system sales have been lost to Axiom in the past due to not having a(probably more expensive)center chanel in the line up?

I, personaly, found a significant difference in going from a center that was rated down to 80hz, crossed at 80, to my M3 which I cross at 60. I no longer have a voice component sneaking into my sub, and I do find an increase in information being presented thru the center that was missing before on familiar DVDs. Maybe more of a "Presence" sort of thing. Things just seem to be more anchored to the screen.

But a larger center seems to be capturing the attention of a large group of Axiom fans. Maybe it would capture a few more "on the fence" outsiders.
