I am kind of wondering why Axiom didn't make this 10 years ago when the rest of the speaker line up was first brought out. It seems like a no brainer(20/20 hindsight and all that) to have made it specifically to go with the floorstanders, while the VP150/VP100 are a near perfect match for the bookshelf speakers, in particular the M2/M22. Most good ideas seem bizarre when first suggested but obvious in hindsight  The system looks great; it's funny how the VP180 doesn't really seem that big once you put it together with screen & mains. Enjoy !

Steve, is that a custom finish or the stock black oak?

Congratulations and thanks for your input Steve.

Hi Steve,
I'm really pleased you are as excited ("giddy" even) with the new VP180 as I was after the blind listening tests and the curtain was pulled back. I was absolutely thrilled that Axiom now has a no-compromise truly excellent center channel speaker.
You are correct: the VP180 sounds almost exactly like a the vertical M80. I wrote down on the blind rating sheet: "Not exactly alike in sound quality but similarly excellent."
Cheers,
Alan

Oops! Looks like the labels are already printed, which may mean the "v3" designation stays.
In another thread, I posted that we'd dropped the "v3" designation because the VP180 is a new model. It isn't a variant of an earlier version.
Regards,
Alan
