Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Floor standing or in wall speakers?

Mounting the M22's on wall was mentioned by Allan in the past stating that it gave a nice increase in bass output without affecting the overall sound character...

Thanks, that's the HG Cherry....Vinyl. As for the stabilizers there's a thread here and a couple pics from the link...I linked to my update so you may want to start at the beginning of the thread.

Dave, I would not mount the M22s directly flat against the wall, I would use the brackets that axiom sells that allow you to angle them towards the listen position. I use them now for my bedroom, and I can't image the in-walls or on-walls sounding better than the bookshelves bracketed to the wall.

This is why I gave up on the in-wall or on-wall speakers. It's either mounted book shelves on large brackets that allow them to be angled in any direction or floor standing. The more I am reading however, I think I mine as well just go with the floor standing. Even though the top of the floor standing speakers would be about even with the bottom of the TV it should not ruin the sound stage. Maybe I should draw a rough diagram.

From what I know, M22s sound pretty darn good on Axiom's full metal brackets. I don't have those myself, but Peter uses his like that and reported better bass from it.

OKay here is a quick render of what the wall should like when I am finished. I did floor standing speakers not wall mounted M22s, it actually does not look that bad. Although the speakers will stick out a bit, guess they will just be furniture accents...lol.

Mike, I don't think you'll find that setup to be a problem at all...

I think it will look and sound great.

Who is they guy eying your speakers? I think you better watch him or he will have new M60's at his house when you are away.

That will look and sound awesome and is the way I would go.

In fact it looks similar to my room, but picture that my entry way is directly beside the left channel through the side wall. So you would basically walk straight into that left speaker every time you walked into the room. That's why I was forced to go with the W series, but would have gone with M60's or 80's if room configuration would have allowed. Let us know what you decide!

The speakers will take up a fair amount of space as they're 15" deep and you will need a few inches of space behind them as well. But like you said, they will be furniture accents....especially if you go for a set of Custom Wood Vassallo's or Custom Vinyl
