I guess hate is a strong word. It seemed to be similar user(s) linking the same two articles when Axioms where mentioned on AVS forums. Of course most reviews date back to the V2s for the most part.

I would hope the VP-100 which is the same drivers as the model up M22s would be a better center than an M3. Also the lack of symmetry would kill me even with the speaker grille on. I know 2.5 ways centers are asymmetrical in sound. But thanks for the idea.
