When you look at reviews of any product on the net - look at the date first! The farther back in time, the more irrelevant the review becomes wrt current models.
Most of the negativity is quite dated (over 5 years back) & came from a few vocal trolls that eagerly parroted views from a few others - most who had never even heard an Axiom product. I know because I was in the middle of many of the 'discussions' elsewhere.
Such is the way of the net I'm afraid; however, after lots of push back from several of us here, little is being said now but most of it is good.
As for CC speakers a few years ago, arguing over comb filtering in horizontal speakers was all the rage. I did my own unscientific tests with my VP100 & found that until one becomes really far off axis (+30 degrees) did the sound start to degrade & by that time watching the TV at that angle was more problematic. In other words, in real life listening, it is really not much of a factor in most rooms...
