You might be right, but I need speakers for my room, not buying a new room for my speakers.
There is a 3/8" gap between the wall and the speakers, I've hung the M5ow's on another wall in another room, and they sound the same, nothing like any bookshelf or floor standing axiom speaker i've ever heard. The major difference is they sound very linear... shooting the sound at you, they do not fill the room with sound, the sound does not wrap around you like the other axioms. The larger drivers gets very little play, little woofer movement at higher listening levels, I would imagine that the crossover is designed that way due to the smaller cabinet. I didn't expect below 80hz, but I did expect clear imaging. I'm thinking I should of gotten the QS-10s instead of M5ows. Perhaps they have a better bass response and imaging, that would perform better in my listening environment.
