Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater VP-150 - Wall-Mountable?

As the title says - I plan to wall-mount the M22's on Axiom's bracket on either side of the screen and would like to wall mount the center as well.
Thanks!

Yup, you can mount it with the full metal bracket.

How do you plan to leave breathing room behind you m22's for the ports?

Yes, you can mount the VP150, I just used some cheap L shaped shelf brackets from the local home improvement store. These had a nice black cover over them.

I used them for my Qs8's as well.

Using the Full Metal Brackets with M22s leaves plenty of room for the port to breathe. I had mine set up this way for a couple years.

Mine are only about 3 inches away from the wall and they sound good.

Randy is a clever guy.

I'd probably opt for the Axiom Full Metal Bracket for its flexibility and ease.

I don't think the 150 has threads for the bracket, unless I'm mistaken, which is why I used the L brackets.

The 150 does have the center bolt for mounting.

Must be a new offering, I don't either of the 150's I've owned has one...

Been like that for awhile, AFAIK--Ian uses FMBs to mount his.

interesting, I just ran down and looked, my 150 was missing the bolt, and there was a small round sticker (same color) covering the hole, very strange...in either case looks like your right..

I knew I was right, I have my 150 in the next room and had a look before posting

I should stop posting and get my HT set up..... or the central vac installed or my garage organized or.............

Yes you should.... but what kinda fun would that be??

I have my VP150 mounted above my front projection screen in my theater area that I used to have (see link with pictures here: Buol Theater v2.0 ) Since then, I decided to put it under my screen, flip it "upside down" and set it on a shelf. The speaker grill just comes off and I flipped it too so that it "looks" right-side up. This gives me a nice speaker firing angle that works well to direct the sound towards my ears when sitting... No pictures of v3.0 are online, sorry.

Alan had posted before about using the FMB and M22's and how it gave it a nice increase in bass, 9db if I remember correctly, without any negative effects. I believe it was a blind test and he thought it was new speaker or tower...I'll try to dig up the post later.

I have my 150 mounted with the full metel bracket. Works fine. Must be secured in very solid material as the VP150 is kinda heavy.

Well, it's really sad that I remember so many old posts from Axiom and then everyday tasks I forget all the time

Here's the one I was thinking of plus a couple others:

Wall Mount M22 - 2006 Post

Link2

Link3 - At least this one is from 2008

I just don't know how you find them!

Ha-ha, you need to go to the username and show all posts to get the old ones. Then I usually have an idea of the time period and skip through the pages to that timeframe.

When you have mega posters like yourself and Peter it has to be a good question to weed through all those pages and posts

Sometime the search tool Peter built under the Water Cooler finds them as well.

That thing hasn't worked properly for me for months.

Maybe some water leaked out of the cooler onto yours?

I've always said it was a bad idea to put all that important stuff under the water spout.

Have you already bought these? If not, you might want to condiser Axiom's On-wall speakers. They were in the last owner's club email (2/1/2010). You would most likely have to call Axiom to get more information.

I scroll through my posts occassionally to find an answer in an old post every once in a while. As I get more and more posts I have a tendency to do it less and less.

Hi Hay,

Thanks for excavating that old post of mine. Nice to read through it and the others, and like Ken, I don't know how you find them so quickly.

Anyway, I do recall that double-blind listening session in 2006 to the bracket-mounted M22s and how astonished I was when all was revealed after the tests. I remember going up to the front of the room to make sure a sub hadn't been inadvertently activated.
