Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom Introducing the M5 and QS10

I will be installing 4 Inceiling M3s soon (once I paint them) and from what I can tell the only thing below the drywall is the trim ring and mesh screen.

The in-ceiling does not sit below the ceiling plane but they are also not likely to be used as any of the front main speakers.

Just curious, thanks.

Now I'm imagining having a theater with an elevated bed as the single listening position, with the screen and main speakers on the ceiling.

I have to say I'd disappointed that there's no frequency graph yet.

And on a different note, my order doesn't show up in my account even though its been billed. Has anyone seen Ian boarding a plane to Tunisia? (It's possible I ordered it without using an account; but the romantic in me would like to think the M5 is a con and Ian's absconding to Africa or South America to start a white van speaker distribution center.)

Shipments appear in "My Account" once shipped or about to be shipped (typically when a tracking number is available)

What center would you pair with the m5hp's?

The VP160 would be best. Or the VP160HP if you are running your centre as large.

Or a 3rd M5 as vertical center if your space can manage it. That would technically be 'best'.

Actually, I am curious - I've read about and experimented with vertical centers and in my (very limited) experience have found it to sound great and better than my existing horizontal center. Therefore I have been running a vertical center and am continuing the tradition as I try out the new M5's once they ship.

However a question for Ian/Axiom - have you ever done double blinds on vertical centers? I'm curious if the logic and my personal (possibly biased) opinion actually pans out in true double blind testing?
