Yes, it bothered me a lot. I pinged the webmaster (James) and he was nice enough to fix the problem. I think the new string (with correct spelling) might only be picked up when you "fly up" to a new level, so some people probably have the old spelling...
Here's the last email from James at Axiom :

Hi John:
Thanks again! We were able to correct the error.

D'oh !!
Thought I had pasted in some more information but looks like I deleted it by accident. Sorry about that. Here's the problem. User posts appear with user name and a "description", such as Newbie, Frequent Flier, Hobbiest, Addict etc...
The "Hobbiest" description should be spelled "Hobbyist", I think. See the extract from my user profile below with red highlight. I only noticed because I just went from "Frequent Flyer" to "Hobbiest". Bleah
Thanks again. Sorry about the lack of information first time.

>>Thanks. Now will you get a pair of VP100s and try that out?
You mean like this ?
You are sooooo lucky...
I ordered a VP100 -- it arrived damaged. Emailed Axiom and two hours later received a shipment notification for a replacement speaker, along with shipping stickers for returning the damaged unit.
Picked up the replacement from Purolator tonight, so until tomorrow AM I have two VP100s. Not sure what to do with them, it's hard to do good A/B testing when you have to power down and switch bare wires every time.
I figured you would want a picture anyways

Hey Bridgman, youre no longer a hobby(i)est. Just wanted to know how your dual vp100's sound in that orientation? Later, richeydog.

Woo hoo !! I'm not a hobbiest, I'm not a hobbiest...
I wasn't sure what to do with the VP100s since my M60s were up a couple of flights of stairs, I was feeling pretty tired, and if I used the VP100s as mains then I still wouldn't have a center channel.
Then the light flickered again. Let's make EVERYONE happy and run VP100 mains with M2i center ! Alternatively I could haul both M2i and VP100's upstairs and A/B them on the HK3270 stereo system.
If I could only do one, which would be more useful ?
I realized too late that with a new VP100 and a "broken-in" VP100 I had a golden opportunity to see if break-in was really true, but alas I left the VP100 playing while I went out for groceries...

Dude... those look pretty good on stands. Now if you still had your M60s downstairs, I'd ask you to try the VP100s as a pair of vertical centers with the M60s as fronts, and the M2s as surrounds.

Too bad they're asymmetrical.

So? If there's two, it doesn't matter!
I suppose I should just buy some of the damn things myself and play around.

Ooh, ooh, now QS8s for mains, an M50 centre channel, and VP150s for surrounds.

For a brief moment I was thinking about hauling down a single M60 for the center channel, but fortunately the moment passed before I got upstairs
