Axiom's newest product is the M3 in-ceiling speaker. It's a dual solution-oriented product: you can use it anywhere in your home where only an in-ceiling speaker is going to work with your decor, or you can prepare yourself for the most exciting development in home theater in years: the imminent release of Dolby Atmos, which requires in-ceiling speakers to add height channels to your surround sound experience.

Are there characteristics about the best speakers for home stereo which are distinct from those that are best for home theater? In a word, no! The best speakers for any use around your house will share the same key traits: The sound will be neutral - not 'warm' or 'mellow' or 'soft' - what you really want is 'accurate'.
