Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Floor standing or On Wall

my room is 18x18x8 two rows of seats 1 elevated.

Thats a pretty decent size room. Personally I would go for the M60's in this scenario. JohnK has been enjoying his M22's for several years without the need to upgrade. But I don't think you'll get as good midrange as you will with the bigger, floor standing models.

I can't comment intelligently on the screen issues having no experience with any of that at all. I'll just say that if it were me contemplating this project, I would probably consider the fact that those specialty screens are specifically made for exactly what you're wanting to do, so they can't sound too awful bad. I wonder if you went down to a store that sells them if they would know of anyone who has one that you could demo? Seeing is believing.

In that size room I think you would be better with the floorstanders as well.

Thanks guys thats a big help! Ill try to find someone who can demo the acoustical screen for me. There's gotta be a company locally considering i'm near DC metro.....

I'll let you all know how goes.

The +- 3 db means it can be a total of 6 db for the rating, the graph clearly shows it down 6 to even 8 db. At 60 hz it shows the line crossing at 80db while the rating of the speaker is 89 so that would actually be 9db, but I am allowing for some variance in readings to give it a 6-8 db low at 60hz.
