And others talk vice versa.

It's all opinions and science with speakers. Take each with a grain of salt, and choose what you think is best for you after reading the science and subjective stuff for both speaks.

Take into account the Rocket RSC200 center is $599 and the Axiom VP150 comes in at $385.I would say if you are going with Axiom I would stay with the VP150.

I'm gonna guess that the Rocket center will not match-up well with Axioms....that said.....

Seems to me that there are two chains of thought on the matter: One group likes a full-range center; the other group dosen't much care as long as the center sounds good to them and matches the mains.

(then there's the third sub-group within Axiom.....a very, very, very......very small sub-group, that likes a near-full-range center: either an M3 or an m22, vertical if posible; who may prefer a full range center, if one were avaiable....)

The same situation applies to surround speakers: Some like direct firing, some prefer diffuse. Most here at Axiom like diffuse, some of us like direct and use M3s or M22s or even floorstanders as surrounds. Depends on what sounds best to "us", and how much bass we want in the surrounds rather than thru the sub.

Ahhhh.....the freedom of choice




As long as the system has that "Axiom" sound!
