Once I explained to my wife how in or on-walls would utterly destroy our audio experience , she accepted the fact that we'd have to go with QS8s. Now she loves how the QS8s sound and look.

Alex, with regard to the amount of intrusion into the living space, the Ws don't really have a major advantage. They do protrude about 3.6" and have bigger height and width dimensions than the QSs, which have just slightly more depth at 6". It really seems that if anything the QSs would be less obtrusive than the Ws if mounted similarly(preferably slightly higher).

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Hi Alex:

At the booth we had at the Toronto Interior Design show, we had QS4 speakers that were painted the same color as the walls. Here is a link to the post that shows pictures of the show booth. http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/showfla...part=1&vc=1

We had a lot of positive comments from women who toured the booth. I found the speakers that were painted the same color as the walls very understated. They can also be repainted if you choose to change your wall color in the future.

Just another idea to throw into the mix.

Well I ended up putting my foot down and told her that we were going to get the QS8's and that was final............and then I woke up from that wonderful dream! I ended up talking to her and she said that I could get whatever I wanted to. Needless to say, I'm ordering the QS8's in the next few days. Thanks for all of the advice guys.

Oh! I forgot about those pics. Thank you for the reminder. My girlfriend recently complained about my HUGE (read M22) speakers in the living room. Yes, she had bose before I moved in. The T series should make us both happy, she gets low profile and I get Axiom quality sound. The best of both worlds!

T-Series is Axioms IN-WALL speakers, the W series is on the on-wall.

I am looking forward to seeing what they look like as well.
