Welcome!
I remember having a similar hesitation before purchasing, but I don't recall any of the nay sayers having owned Axiom products, so I figured it was sour grapes. I have not looked back since... nor have I visited AVS much except when linked here.
I hope you continue to enjoy your system.
I had a chance to watch a couple movies this weekend and the more I listen the more I am enjoying the new Axioms. The VP180 center channel is great, no more struggling to hear dialog. I did get in on the last day of the thanksgiving gift card deal so I have a $600 Axiom gift card that I'm going to use to get another set of QS8's for the rears.
