Is anyone planning to use these in a 2.0 stereo setup, or as surrounds in an atmosphere setup?

I have m22 as LRwith EP 500 and it's a great combo for 5.1. Not sure if the M5 can knock that combo off its pedestal.

Are the M5 as revealing and detailed as the M22 or is it more of a power and low end impact bookshelf?

The M5HP will blow the M22s out of the water! It's the bookshelf speaker Axiom should have built instead of the M22. It's just that simple!

Craig, can you buy the Paradigm bookshelves below and tell us if they are better than the M5HP given they are 4 times the price?

Am I mistakenly in AVS? So much conjecture by those who have never heard the product.

Plus, all of a sudden, it seems that everything around here 'blows'.

Is 'blows' now a proper technical audio term?

I wonder what the recommended distance is between the M5 and back wall.
I'd also be curious to hear why someone with a small room wouldn't want the QS10 too.
Cost might be a legitimate concern but I'd still want the lower cross over point (my current avr only has one for all channels).

No reason why you wouldn't want to put the QS10 in a small room. It will be vastly superior to the QS8.

TAM I trust Andrew to do an amazing job on the M5HP. It's time for you to trade your M22s in.

Yes, I would like to know what size room these would be best in. Says Meduim to large. What exactly is a medium sized room. My room is 11.5 x 15 x 7.5. Still debating going ATMOS or sticking with 7.2 or maybe just adding front heights and a going four subs would be better in my room.

Sorry, but my system of M22s + EP800s is deficient in nothing - powerful & articulate in HT duties.

Your enthusiasm is a little over the top for me but maybe it's because I'm an old phart. Enjoy your new toys...

TAM I agree the M22 with sub is a great combo. However I have the on walls and I know that having on wall is a compromise and I need to set my x over a bit higher than I'd like. However for price vs performance the M22 was the best I could find at the time. The M5 should remove this restriction while still allowing for on wall setup at a price point I can afford. I'm not immediately a fanboy of them and I will take advantage of the 30 day audition to make sure it is an improvement in my setup. If they are an improvement they stay and if not I keep with the setup I've been happy with for 7 years. But as Mojo said I trust Axiom to make a detailed speaker and on paper it looks like a step in the right direction for my setup. I hope to find out for certain once they ship though!

Cheers all,


Dan
