Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo M3 or M2 without a sub

kcarlilie is right. You don't want to put the rear port right up against the wall. You'll need some space between wall and speaker or the bass will suffer. Some speakers are designed to be wall mounted (QS8/4) but ported(especially rear ported) speakers need room to perform(breathe) and the further away from the wall the better.
