Kcarlie, the mounting option issue is a good one that I didn't consider. As far as a fix, really it would only require increasing the depth of the plug housing an inch. That's why I find it strange - the fix is so easy and wall mounting has to be nearly, if not more, common for surrounds that stand mounting.

Anyway, no big deal. When THX declines to certify my man-room I'll complain that Axiom made me use bare wire. Until then, and I'd guess I have some time, I'll focus on the sound.

Thanks
