One of the posters around here has m2's with ceiling mounts hanging from the ceiling but the speakers are turned on their sides for his surround rears. The m3's are just slightly bigger so I would ask Axiom if this is possible or maybe you can just use the m2's the way that was just described.

The M2 configuration is what the Axiom site indicates works with their ceiling mount. The M3v2 does not work this way (apparently where they set the mounting point on the back of the M3 does not allow the ceiling mount to be used -- too bad). Their suggestion was the Algonquin outdoor speaker, which I worry in a waterproof plastic case might not look right in a classy indoor theater space.
I wrestle with whether the M2's 70Hz low end and 150W max input power versus the M3's 60Hz/175W would be an adequate match to my Paradigm's driven by 200W/channel amps.
Ideally, in the Axiom line, if I want a direct radiator, I like the M3's specs. The M22 is just too big for where I want to put this thing.
Has anyone mounted an M3 with the Omnimount-20 ceiling mount instead of Axiom's ceiling mount?
I just need to wrestle through the direct versus radiant rear question, because at the size and ease of mounting, the QS8 would be a perfect fit.
Thanks all for comments so far - it is helpful...
