I am building a home theater in my basement and I have a question about utilizing the Axiom M22i speakers. The wall that I will be projecting my screen on backs to a storage area so I would like to build niches in the wall so that I can set the front of the M22is flush with the wall. My concern is whether I would need to leave the back of the niche open to allow the port to breathe or not. I am not sure what volume of air I need to be able to move behind the speaker. Thanks

I'd love to hear what Axiom says 'cause my initial thought is you'll do nothing but screw up the sound of the speakers.

I shot them an email and I am awaiting their reply. When I get it I will share their answer with everyone. I am assuming that I would need to leave the back open and that would negate any problems with placing them in a niche but like I said, I am not sure.

If you are dead set on this type of setup why not look at the on wall series speakers. With these you could have them almost flush with the screen without the problems you would likely encounter going with regular M22s.

Is there much difference in sound quality between the bookshelf and the on wall speakers?

I have never heard them but knowing Axiom I would be willing to bet they are at least on par with their bookshelf counterparts.

I installed a pair of the W3s in the masterbedroom several months ago. When I received them I did compare them to a pair of M3s, in my opinion once they are installed in the wall the sound is as good if not better than the M3s. Installation is very simple, and the wall bracket that is included works great. I would recommend trying the W series rather than trying to install the M22s.

I was just going to say, check with Tharkun. He has given the Architect Series speakers very high remarks on sound. If you think you want to put the speakers in the wall, I would look at them instead of putting the m22's in the wall. Also, make sure you calculate the proper locations for best sound,before you knock holes in the walls.

I really like the W sereis, and the origianl plan was to order more for the garage sound system. But since the Axioms were returned, no longer need them for that area. I may still order a pair for the front room.
