Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Rebuilding TV wall. Advice?

Would it make sense to mount the in cabinet m60s upside down so the tweeter is at ear height, and is closer to the same height as the 160 in the cabinet? Or could Axiom do a custom front baffle with the mid and tweeter at the bottom of the speaker?

It seems like Alan commented on inverting the in-cabinet speakers, but - regrettably - I don't remember the gist of his recommendation. I think the answer is going to depend quite a lot on interaction with other room boundaries.

Now I'm thinking why not just go with m80s and a vp180. The bass response from the 80s is supposed to be better, and without a sub in this huge room, it should be worthwhile. If I can fit them in (they are really deep) then I'll go m80s and a vp180. I'm still thinking upside down towers would improve the soundstage until anyone says otherwise.

Thanks for the help. Now I have a plan for the contractor. Lets see what comes out of this.

I think this is the inversion post from Alan I was thinking of.

The answer seems to be "try it and see". If money's no object and you have the mounting depth, nobody ever seems to be sorry later for buying "the best one".

You might want to just kind of sketch up the overall layout with some dimensions and run it past the folks at Axiom.

Have fun. Remember, need more pics as things change.

More pics? Here's a pic of the basement for the upcoming theater. Unfortunately the kid's rooms are directly above the proposed theater which will got at the far end of this picture. Those doors at the end are just closets. One contains the water heater. The space is bigger than this picture shows, and there is plenty of room to move the pool table closer to the kitchenette.

Nice basement, I think I would be inclined to leave it as is and use the TV upstairs for everything.
