Welcome home bridgman, hope blowing stuff up was as fun as it sounds and you still have all of your appendages! :-)

I couldn't resist and took a slightly extended lunch break working from home office today and messed around with my one unboxed M5 OnWall for center channel only. I mostly ran some calibration pink noise & signal sweeps to get a feel for it. Quite impressed so far. Was surprised to find my previous calibration levels still held and it was level matched at the same offset to my in/on wall M22's. I was expecting I'd have to bump it up a few db.
Also learned my dog likes to howl along with pink noise and signal sweeps! LOL.
The M5 On wall does extend lower than my M22's as expected, although they are surprisingly not far behind. I demo'd a short Wall-E scene from Disney WOW disc (track 9 in the Experience section for those with the disc) and the punch from Eve's blaster arm made me jump the 1st time I had it cranked. So far so good. Can't wait to get all 3 pumping up front. More to come when life and wife permits...

Cheers,

Dan
