 Still a little unsure about Axioms

I know I've posted that I'll probably order some Axioms in the near future after listening to pretty much everything out there. One thing is nagging at me. That's the Center Channel. I have no doubts that the M60's will out perform the B&W 603's by a wide margin and the QS8's will crush either the 600's or the DM6's. My concern is the VP150 out doing the LCR60 or LCR600. I'm a firm believer in sonic continuity and I can't see having mains and center that aren't matched perfectly.
Has anyone listened to the two centers and can offer either a quick review or some reassurance.
TIA

One option, if there's someone near you, is to bring your center over and give it a listen right alongside the VP150.

Which part of Toronto are you in? I only have VP100. I can bring mine to your place and let you hear the sound. You can PM me if you like.

I think my VP150 does a fabulous job. The detail is second to none. The only other centers I've owned were Advent and Infinity, and they don't even come close to my Axiom...

I don't have much experience with other center channels, but I'm certainly not new to audio either. I love my VP150, and find it a great match for my M60s and QS8s!

I recently visited my son. He has a PSB image speaker setup, which includes an Image 8C CC. Mind you, I've only heard it for a few minutes. But, it sounded real good to me. It just may have my VP100 beat. I'm not saying I don't like my CC, because I do. But, I think I like his a little better he said with no remorse.

I noticed you had some trouble with the axis. I guess I'll have to wait and see once I get a listen.
Thanks for the input!

and, perhaps more importantly, everyone has a different room, too.

Lazerland in Oakville has Axioms usually in stock and when I was there they had the vp150 hooked up....
Where are you in Toronto? I live in Burlington and currently only have the VP150 (wall mounted with the FMB) which I'm very happy with.
