s002wjh, you have nothing to worry about, but rather based on biased feedback/reviews from people that for some reason like to bash Axiom. This topic comes up from time to time, usually by trolls from AVSforum. Funny how they magically vanish, once they start these rumors.
Anyway, don't get another brand center, get one that has the same tonal qualities and drivers of your other speakers. Besides, don't you want to get the same finish, so all the speakers look the same?
The VP150 is a great center, the best I've ever owned.
