So far I have been very happy with the VP180 center, QS8 sides, and M22 rear speakers. They compare very favorably with the Legacy audio speakers they are replacing, at a lower cost. Looking forward to purchasing the new M100 for my left and right.

I only have an old 70 Watt Dolby Pro-Logic 4-channel receiver, so I first played an Adele CD on my two 3-way Infinity Reference Three front speakers (acoustic suspension w/ 8' woofer), which sounded very good. Then I disconnected those speakers and connected the two QS8's, on their backs on the 1 foot high stands the Infinitys normally sit on, and with (one of) each QS8 tweeters facing forward and angled just slightly in toward the listening area.
Of course, they didn't have nearly the bass of the Infinities(that would be an unfair comparison!), but WOW. At the same really high volume, Adele's voice sounded different. With the Infinitys, the volume was self limiting because her voice becomes too 'piercing'. But with the QS8's, her voice was ...... pure! It sounded much more like a voice! It was a real voice, not just a 'tone'! Closing my eyes at times, I could imagine her 10-12 feet in front of me, and centered! And still at even higher volume! On another song which is 'quieter', with just the sound of a guitar being played, I could clearly hear the person's fingers sliding on the strings, something barely audible with Infinitys!.
Finally installed/relegated the QS8's as rear surrounds, in anticipation of a future new A/V receiver. So now the QS8's are 'quieter', especially because I think my primitive surround receiver only seems to output surround echo and artifacts (but still gives a noticable effect with movies).
By now, I was spoiled. I was planning to get M60's for the front for my birthday in May (A recent LARGE car repair bill keeps me from buying everything at once!), but I can't wait to hear how they would sound, so something tells me my birthday may 'come early'!
Keep up the good work!

The QS8's are now installed & they sound fabulous :) the rear sound stage is so deep & wide it sounds like its in my neighbours' back yard.

I am very pleased with my Axiom setup (M22 mains, VP150 on-wall CC, and new QS8 surrounds). I have yet to hear a system costing double the money that sounds this sweet. The addition of the surrounds has improved my surround dramatically. The system is much more engaging, but the QS8's are at the same time subtle and transparent. I also use the M22's for analog 2-channel audio and they are wonderful.

My Son in law had speakers, and was remodeling a room, when the speakers Axiom surrounds wouldn't work I purchased them from him. The sound is amazing! I have Mission speakers as fronts and presence, will eventually switch to all Axiom.
