multi-driver speakers require distance in order to blend properly. Maybe they should be placed higher up and angled down. That will reduce their bass response and that's where an M5 will shine over an M2.
Perhaps M3ow’s for surrounds and tops
I’m mounting M3ow’s on the ceiling with FMBs for tops and M3 bookshelves on FMCB for heights.
Doing this requires Axiom to put in special inserts in both cases.
M3s would be easier to mount/angle for sure.
So I’ve got that the M2s will not be great. The M3s might work just fine and M5s would almost certainly give the best results for additional $$. That’s probably the hardest question to answer without trying out the different speaker types :|
Any thoughts on a mixed M5 surround layer and M3 ceilings or stick to the same 8 speakers?
With regards to on-walls on the FMB. I was under the impression that for best results you needed to mount the on-walls directly against the wall. Is that not the case or does it not apply to ceiling speakers?
