Be careful what you wish for...you may
not get them back!!! All kidding aside,
I'm sure I'd love them.Besides you'd have
to get them thru customs since I reside
in northern Ontario.As a matter of fact
I'm about a hour drive from the Axiom plant.
And yes I've been thru their plant back in
1997 if I remember correctly.Very busy place...

The VP180 is a 4 ohm speaker -- I don't remember how Onkyo receivers handle 4 ohm loads. I know the Onkyos are very well regarded around here otherwise though.

I have run M2/VP100, M60/VP100 and M60/VP180 (but haven't tried M2/VP180 yet). Based on your comments and my own experiences I do think you would get the best "improvement for the $$" by upgrading your mains to M60s..

EDIT - hold on, ignore the above. I somehow missed your AX2+2's last time. Everyone else ignore my previous "M2s and VP100" comment, the AX2+2s are probably more like M50s, so we're talking about M50/VP100/QS8/M2-ish.

Am I correct in assuming that you are running the AX2+2s as mains, and 1.2s as rear surrounds ? If so, then upgrading to VP180 might be the best choice after all. Sorry for the confusion.

You are correct...My 2+2,s are my mains with the
1.2's as the rear.And like you I was thinking of
tweaking my center.But not sure which to go with.
Wouldn't the VP 180 be an overkill? Or would it
fit right in.

Cool, how does the VP150 and the AX2's play together? The tweeters are very different in each. How is the timbre matching?

The VP 150 is in black as opposed to the cherry finish
on my system.But that's ok because you only see the
front.I bought the VP 150 V2 used, I might add it's in
great shape.As for the sound with my AX2's,no complaints.
As I said before,I couldn't be happier smile

correction; the Ax2's isn't being used.
It's been replaced by my VP 150.
I don't know what I was thinking about.
