No one is saying you can't criticize Axiom's offerings on this board. (which, I note, is different from certain other companies' boards and something I treasure about Axiom's.)

What I think people are saying, though, is that if you criticize something (be it Axiom, SVS, HSU, Magnepan, or whatever), make sure the criticism is fair and as well-tested as possible.

If I got the QS8s and I thought they had certain serious problems, I'd wonder if I was doing something wrong since lots of folks here seem to adore them and had no similar problems.

That's not to say that you shouldn't say the emperor has no clothes- if he indeed has no clothes-, but it's hard to say whether the problem you ran into was a fundamental problem with all VP150s or was due to other factors.
