Imho the m2 at the end of your bed would be just about right.

Hey brwsaw. The M2's are too small. I need something that'll be close to what I am getting with my current Paradigm's.

Hmmm... Could they be mounted horizontally above the door? Or would that affect their performance negatively?

Have many people received the QS10 speakers yet? We are mid May now and I haven't heard anything at all from an order back in January when it was charged. I was under the impression they were originally scheduled in April but still seem to be waiting. Wonder have there been production problems with them? I got my QS10 speakers two weeks ago. However I am still waiting for the "stand tops" for my FMS QS stands. Yesterday I was told that they might be ready to ship by mid next week. Looks like I will be past the 30 day trial period by the time they are completely set up.

I'd be willing to bet that Axiom would extend your trial period if you give them a call or email.

I can extend that offer now. We will make it 30 days from when the stand tops arrive. They will be right after the in-wall tool is out of the machine, which looks like tomorrow. Then they have to get prepped and finished, so next week your stand tops will be shipped.

Truth be told I have never returned any Axiom product (they're too good). I'm sure the QS10s will play nicely with my M100s, VP180, EP800 and ADA1250 amp.

Hey brwsaw. The M2's are too small. I need something that'll be close to what I am getting with my current Paradigm's. How high are your ears and whats the ceiling height? Someone into automating might drop them down from the ceiling (at the right height and with the ideal seperation). Or spread out from the sides/end of the bed like a power extension mirrors on a big rig 18 wheeler, for wide loads. I haven't heard the M2, I will own a pair asap. For you...30 day trial. Just saying. End of bed = 6' away and 6' apart. This might be a dumb question but whats on the wall behind you? Edit #3..Does your bed move often? Maybe custom height stands could be mounted/installed on/into the floor?

My ears are about 3 feet off the floor. My bed never moves, and I don't have the room for floor stands. The picture below shows the opposite wall (behind me). The bedside table (on my right) can't really be home for one of the M5's because wash basins get placed there regularly. I also can't have anything directly behind my bed because my caregivers need to get in there to move me up in bed, wash my hair etc. The only thing I can think of is mounting both M5's on the wall with two FMB's behind me as Bridgeman suggested (blue dots). I just really dislike having to disturb the vapor barrier. Thoughts? Will they still sound perfectly fine if they're slightly behind me? Hopefully Ian will see this and comment. Thanks again, everyone.

I've seen monitor stands similar to yours with 3 (or more) arms. Designed to hold multiple monitors you should be able to find one that would essentially replace the one shown, be moveable, etc. Like any stand you would want to watch the overall weight limitations but that said you could mount a speaker pair instead of additional monitors. You'd gain in that its already aimed/leaning towards you. You wouldn't need them to be adjusted too much or too often. Just an idea.
M2's might be big for that location size wise but would still be my first speaker of choice in this case.
I wouldn't have any reservations trying a pair of axioms PC speakers either. The first axiom speakers I ever heard happens to be the smallest I now own. It impressed me and personally I'd be excited to try them if I had a similar layout.
I'm not sure I'd install behind unless you go with a surround type setup.
In ceiling maybe.
