Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions QS8: Question about mounting

Apollo,

Personally I prefer their sound when I'm somewhat on-axis with the tweeters. In my situation, they're up high (hanging from the 9 ft ceiling). So I decided to angle them down slightly so the tweeters are a little more on-axis with the main listening area. They're not directly pointed at my head; I can still 'see' the bottom 5.25" driver. Since the top driver is facing the ceiling, the reflecting sound results in an ambient effect.

These speakers are the best of both worlds in my opinion. Direct radiating sound for multi-channel music, yet diffuse enough to add ambience in the rear soundstage for movie soundtracks.
