Having owned Axiom and Monitor Audio at the same time, I can say that in some respects they are close but I personally would not mix the two in anyway shape or form. However if all you want to do is match the MA center with Axioms for movies only, you should be fine but I would still suggest matching the front 3 speakers. If you plan to go with multi channel music, I would without a doubt, match them all. Meaning all Axiom or all MA.
If you can swing the cash, go all MA Golds up front. Great, great speaker!
