The fact is that you are making a compromise with an on-wall speaker system. Freestanding speakers have the ability to be larger, can be moved around the space, and have many fewer design restrictions. In a lot of ways, an in-wall speaker has advantages over an on-wall speaker in that it can at least have a backbox. The on-wall speaker needs to be small, thin, and powerful - a tall order. The Axiom Audio M0 delivers. From the magnetic grills to the innovative (if quirky) wall mounting bracket system, the M0s are a speaker unlike any other. Of course, coming from Axiom you'd expect them to deliver sonically - and they do. If you are looking for an unobtrusive on-wall system for a smaller room, the M0s are a very good choice and deserve to be on your short list. At $135 each and free 30 day in home trial, you've got little to lose except your preconceptions about what a small speaker can do.
