Did you say you found Axiom muffled compared to Totem?

I've had the chance to audition the dreamcatcher - twice, in two different settings, with different electronics and different sources playing. I liked them, a whole lot. They're an excellent and good looking package. However, they are expensive, and I don't find them to be as good as the Axiom setup I have.

Just for the record, my HT consists of

M22Ti
VP150
QS4
EP125

If you are thinking of buying these, or better, do so. They surpass the Totem's Dreamcatcher. The most noticeable improvements Axioms give are clarity and sound dispersion, especially in the surround and center channels.

My advice to you is buy the Axioms, and even better, don't get the VP100, get the VP150. It's well worth the extra cash.

good luck with your decision!
