Alan:

For me this design of speaker and my ultimate desire is a center channel that hopefully can solve much of the problem of off-axis performance which all front-firing center channels, regardless of design, suffer from to one degree or another.

Andrew is probably familiar with the Mirage Omnipolar design and I owned one in which, ultimately, although it was too small for the system I was building(I eventually sold it), it did provide a very good center channel focus of dialogue and other sounds along with an off-axis performance that was so good I could actually walk up to the side of it, almost at a 90 degree angle and the off-axis performance was such, even standing off to the side that much, it was almost as good as standing right in front of it.

If Axiom came up with performance of anything close to that stature, I would purchase it in a heartbeat.
