I believe they come with grills.

Beautiful room, Dave. I see what you were referring to reg the wood stove in the corner there. Thanks, Adrian. I would contact Axiom, and ask them what the dimensional requirements are (behind the baffle) of the M60 in-cabs. The opening in the side units is exactly 39", which is the size of the front baffle on the in-cab M60s, so I suspect they'd fit. I'd check with Axiom before I ordered, though. My biggest concern hee would be the possibility of unwanted vibration in the unit. If I go with the M22's, I can mount them to the wall on either side of the outside of the unit at about 6' (to the top of the speaker cab,) and angle them downward to hit the listening position at about 42" above the floor. When it gets a little colder outside I'll test the heat at that level and see if I think it'll it get too hot. I've had the stove lit a couple times already this year, so it won't be long. Thanks for the comments.

I believe they come with grills. Cool! I'll have to verify that with Axiom. If I go that route, I would want to have them built to match the stain on the wall unit and then select a good matching grille cloth.

I'd go with the M22's. And a couple of EP800's on either side of the wood stove should really do the trick!
pn Worf, those EP800s could probably REPLACE the wood stove. I know, I'll just heat the house with them!

pn Don't forget another behind the couch. And another in the bathroom.

Dave, you could isolate the in-cabinet M60 from your entertainment unit by use of a gasket of sorts, or maybe some of the foam gasket tape from Parts Express, if you are concerned about some kind of vibration resonances from the wall unit.

Adrian, I think you meant the M22s are fairly tall at 19-20 inches, they are only 8" inches deep making them easy to fit on a shelf as long as you have enough height. So - you don't think it would be a bad thing to put the M22's on the side shelves of this unit? That might be the easiest thing. The shelves are 17" deep and 19" wide, so they'd fit just fine, and there would be plenty of space behind them on the shelves. I was just worried about the way putting them in the units would change the dispersion characteristics. Hmm..

That 52" LCD will put out a fair amount of heat. I have a 52" LCD Sony in larger room and it keeps it warm. My first thought was to go with the M60s and make some sort of insulative screen to keep the heat off the speakers. If you are talking about modifying the cabinet - you must have some woodworking acumen. Of course, this idea probably does not clear the WAF.....Rob

That 52" LCD will put out a fair amount of heat... I've had the 52" Sony for about a year. It does put out some heat, but not nearly what that woodstove will. I had that bugger up to 700 degrees a few times last winter. the back of the wall unit where the TV is mounted is open, so the air flows pretty well. In fact, I doubt if the speakers would even feel the wood stove heat if they are in the side shelf units. The side of the one closest to the stove gets slightly warm when the stove is cookin', but not so much that I worry about it a lot. And yes, I do a bit of woodworking. If I do anything to the cabinet, I would build an insert so the cabinet could be restored to it's original form. I guarantee the wife would have to approve the matter first. But, she's seen my work, so I don't think it would be a big problem.
