I didn't see it mentioned yet but you could use the same speaker for your center channel as you do your left and right...assuming the stud is not in the way.

Also are you against just getting M22's and wall mounting them? Alan has mentioned before you would get a nice increase in bass this was as well....

fredk and Adrian,

Ha, ha. How many? A 48-fluid oz. can (by now, those are all in millilitres or some equally annoying metric measurement).
Oh, to extend the apple-juice story, I had a college friend (John Mitchell) whose family had another brand, called Mitchell's apple juice. I don't know whether it still exists. It was based in the Thornbury area.

Cheers,

Alan

I remember seeing Mitchell's on the shelf at my local grocery store. We used to have a constant supply of Allens in the house when the kids were young. It was the least expensive applejuice around.

Um, what was this thread about?

I am personally a great fan of Allen's AJ - it is a staple in our house with 3 young kids.
Fredk, I believe this thread was all about the apple juice with a smattering of on-wall speakers thrown in on the side \:D

On that note, last night armed with a glass of wine, a level, a measuring tape, a utility knife and an old cardboard box I did some highly scientifical figuring out in my construction zone of an HT. The good news is that I am of the opinion I can accommodate the W-series without hacking into studs. I have to make a slight correction of centering everything a few more inches to the left. This will slightly increase the asymmetry of my front to back wall centers, but I think that's a small price to pay for what I believe will be significantly better sounding speakers. Besides, a modern AVR should be able to compensate for the worst of the asymmetry I would hope. Of course I am going to repeat my measuring without the wine before placing any orders!

Thank you all for helping me out. I will update when there's anything further to report.

Sounds like we will be in need of some pics! And you're right, the latest avr's should be able to accomodate, to a certain extent, the boundary issues.

Well, the deed is done. After triple checking all measurements tonight I called Axiom at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was amazed to get someone live (JC) without being put on hold or having to leave a message - that's a great 1st impression! I ordered the W22's with a W150, QS8's and an EP500. It may be overkill but at least I know I won't be regretting getting too small a sonic setup. I will post pics as I go. Expect an update after the 4 agonizingly long weeks of waiting for the factory outlet. Cheers and thanks again.

That's going to be a killer system, congrats.
