Presumably the high fq's would have been attenuated when designing the inwall speakers too, would they not, Alan? since the wall in some sense becomes one large baffle, giving the upper fq's a boost.

I haven't put these in the cabinet yet, and I'll never have a pair of M60's to compare side by side, so for me, it's just that they sound good and not muffled/restricted when I place them in a cabinet... but you're suggesting these aren't just the guts of an M60 placed inside a different cabinet? I certainly appreciate the lengths you guys go through to get "similarly good" but for me- my criteria is "Can I put them in a cabinet and still have high quality sound?" I was at an impasse- I really wanted a custom entertainment center, I wanted built in speakers, but I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on speakers only to ruin the sound. I had started looking at in-wall units, but I really wanted full towers too. Then I stumbled onto a forum that recommended Axiom speakers, and then I found the In-cab speakers and here we are. If the audition in my living room is any indication, the answer is "yes" although I'm sure the sound will change a bit once I install them, that will be a while though. I needed to get these and hear these before I decided to build the entertainment center around them. I'm keeping them, you can't have them back PS. I think it's cool that I get to chat with one of the guys who designed my speakers.

I'm sure some people have tried mounting floor standers in walls/cabinets before, but that would compromise the sound for sure. The wall itself would likely create a huge baffle and probably boost the higher freqs, not to mention the porting problems in the lower bass.
I believe the point that Alan was making was that there are design differences in the crossovers between the in wall and the stand alone towers but the goals in the end result remain the same. Your speakers will likely sound better than they do now once they are installed in the way they were designed.
Let us know how they sound once they are mounted, a lot of us are curious about your install.

It sucks that the in-walls loose some bass. One of my favorite features in the M80's are their incredible bass! Of course, if you have a subwoofer then you'll likely never notice the difference.

assuming you use your sub for all applications. I don't use my EP500 for music.
I love the clean look of a built in speakers. I've been an Axiom speaker since 1986 and I am sure that Ian wouldn't let a customer buy his speaker unless it meets his high standards.
I'd be interested in moving from the M80's to the T80's in the future, to get that look. However I would be giving up flex. placement options. Maybe that's not a big deal with the T series.

I've been an Axiom speaker since 1986.... Wow, now that is devotion! While I would love nothing more than to sit around reproducing great sounding music all day long, I don't know that I could deal with having two wires carrying up to 400 watts of power stuck up my ass!

You're supposed to loosen yourself up with the modest power of a tube amp.

It also goes to show that you truely never know who or what you might be taking to... previous to this, I had no idea speakers could type.
