Hi folks, first post. Go easy on me.
My wife and I recently put a plasma TV in the bedroom. It was meant to be a temporary setup as it's a bit large for the room (60" LG). The funny thing is that we've never before had a TV in the bedroom and we both discovered that we really like it and don't want to do without it. So now it's time for me to do something better than the built-in TV speakers.
I've done some searching for in-wall speakers and came across the Axioms. I like the looks, size, price, and folks seem to be pleased with the sound quality so I've pretty much decided on them.
Getting to the question. The room is 16.5' x 15.5'. The TV is on one of the wide walls and the bed is centered with the headboard up against the opposite wide-wall. This puts the listening position at about 14'.
I've pretty much decided on on/in wall M22's (W22's?) for the FL and FR. The QS8's seem to get the unanimous nod for the best bang-for-the-buck on the surrounds, I already have a sub, and I'm trying to decide what to do about the center.
I can fit an on/in wall VP100 either above or below the TV. I could fit an in/on wall M2 above the TV but not below it. (I don't want the TV pushed up to the ceiling. If the speaker gets mounted above the TV I will aim it down a bit). I could even barely fit another in/on wall M22 above the TV.
Given that the seating position is captive (the bed) and is dead center from the center speaker (no off axis problems), would a VP100 be ok here? This would be the aesthetic choice by far. I just don't want to leave some performance on the table by not going with an M2 or M22.
Thanks in advance folks.
Cary
