I don't think Axiom will offer fully active M5s any time soon. I think only LFR models will be fully active. It's a real shame because the M5s may very well be the only speakers 99% of listeners need. We were watching the last few episodes of GOT on BluRay last night at -10 on the Onk which is about all my ears can take. You could feel the energy coming off the M5s from 10 feet away. It was seamless wall-to-wall sound across 22 feet and tall and deep to boot. There was nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, that I felt was missing. All speakers had disappeared and there was just clean, transparent sound!

The large room indeed makes one heck of a difference. I don't know how I'll ever be able to down-size.
