Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Why M22 as reference speaker?

Jake, although the RS450 stands 37" tall, I believe the drivers are sealed off in a smaller enclosure inside the cabinet, effectively making it have a bookshelf size internal volume. It would be different if the crosspiece inside wasn't solid, acting more as a brace with holes in it. That way the usable space inside the cabinet would be bigger. Think of it as a bookshelf speaker with its own built-in stand!

From looks alone it is a floorstander. From a technical viewpoint it is a bookshelf.
