Some people seem to think direct radiating speakers are best for the rears and push the M2's....but I never hear of anybody pushing the on-walls or in-walls. The M2's just seem to be too deep and perhaps overkill for the rears. It seems to me that the W2's or W3's would be up to the job while staying out of the way. What do you guys think?

Based on the amount of audio information coming from the rear speakers I doubt I would be able to tell the difference between the Ms or the Ws in the back. My preference would still be for the Ms since they can be more easily re-tasked but if you knew 100% that you were going to leave them in the back and in/on-wall fits/looks better then I couldn’t give a good sound quality based reason not to use them.

That was my thinking Grunt. I know the speakers I will use to replace my 401 Bose rears will stay in place so I'm not worried about the re-tasking issue. I think they will be my next Axiom purchase.

Man, I fell asleep during my viewing of that Blu-ray, and I still haven't made a point of watching it in its entirety, but yes, that movie really pops on BD, both in picture and sound. That is one movie I would not want to fall asleep during--yeek! Assuming you're talking about Se7en.

Oh, I was referring to The Nightmare Before Christmas. Se7en is certainly disturbing, but I wouldn't mind it on Blu-ray. I don't know how many times I would actually watch it again, but it's a well-done movie.

Actually, I think we were talking about The Nightmare Before Christmas. Alas, Se7en is not available on BD yet.
The Game, Se7en, and Fight Club are all some of my top movies of all time. Only the last is on BD (and very much worth the purchase).

Se7en and Ransom are two movies that I saw, thought I was glad that I had seen them, and decided that I never wanted to see them again.
