Jeff, as Tom pointed out, the W22s are installed partially into the wall(see instructions on the site)pointing straight forward and apparently wouldn't meet your requirements. My listening with my M22s is almost entirely classical and they're truly excellent for revealing the wonderful music that so many classical CDs contain. Either the M22s or M2s mounted on brackets and swiveled toward you should meet your needs when fortified with a small sub such as the Outlaw LFM-2.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
