I guess hate is a strong word. It seemed to be similar user(s) linking the same two articles when Axioms where mentioned on AVS forums. Of course most reviews date back to the V2s for the most part.

I would hope the VP-100 which is the same drivers as the model up M22s would be a better center than an M3. Also the lack of symmetry would kill me even with the speaker grille on. I know 2.5 ways centers are asymmetrical in sound. But thanks for the idea.

A lot of other forums give the highest praise for their reviews.
Although they seem biased to their own preferences and disregard Axiom almost right away in the same reviews.

Being we are all so subjective to our own preferences and experiences it's hard to discern from a 3rd person perspective of reviews.

On that note most of us started the same. One set that has tuned into multiple purchases.

Cheers to starting your venture.

Axiom has a very generous upgrade program where they will give you something for your previous speakers as you move up the line as you upgrade.So you can always get the 150 or 100 and upgrade down the line. I dont know any other manufacturer that does this. As for the haters, as they say haters will hate but they seem to have gone away more or less it was just a smear campaign started by Audioholics.

He's right but if you buy the 160v4, you will take it to your grave.

I am always right, and its called natural progression. I am not a man of means but i managed to move up and keep my old stuff to repurpose throughout my house. I am glad they didnt have the upgrade program .

This still leaves me at VP-100 vs VP-150. Wonder if anyone can comment on the V4 of either.

I would go with the 100 myself, cheapest way to get a timber matched front end and you can start your savings for a the 160

Maybe you can get a B stock 160v4 on a payment plan?

I am sitting here cringing at the very thought of you listening to anything other than the 160v4. Don't do it, man. Life is too damned short!

There is a 160 v3 for a decent price in the refurb store.

I saw it. I can't vouch for it. The tweeter is different and that's enough for me to stay away from it.
