VP150 is what soured my opinion of Axiom. It just wore on me over the months and years. Finally I just gave up trying to make it sound better. Started researching and demoing for months to find something better and noticed just about any center I tried outperformed the Axiom VP150 hands down.
I too was unimpressed with the 150....at first. After making adjustments in placement, AVR settings and most importantly moving my sub to the front, it now sounds amazing. The off axis response isnt an issue in my current set up. Once we move to a larger room i'll look at buying a Klipsch RC64,Paradigm Signature C5, or 180.
