Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M80 placement question..

I was thinking it was you Alan, might have been Brent though ... it was back whenever we were building our room about five years ago and I had thought about building two recess areas in the rear wall that would house the M60s and I do remember being told it would be OK as long there were several inches of room to the sides, back and top and I also remember asking if it would make any difference if the speakers were used as mains or surrounds in this capacity and was told in either case that placement would have been fine.

I'll look and see if I can find the PM or email but I bet it is gone.

Maybe I was drinking at the time, that's certainly a 95% possibility.

Holy cow, maybe you were both drinking and weren't event talking about speakers at all

That's it.

The little missus is out shopping with a friend and I'm here alone reading about stereos and drinking on the internet at 2 in the afternoon ... it's time for a beer(s) and some tunes.

I'll catch y'all in a bit.

You should post about what went in to your media PC... unless there's as much to tell as there is about EFalardeau's coolest remote ever project.

Will do... I keep telling myself I need to, because without a doubt, (other than getting my Axioms) it is the most fun I've had with a project in the last few years. I'll put up some details over in the water cooler in the next few days.

Awesome. Thanks!

The OP has now also experienced the ultimate (and common) Axiom thread hijack!

That's some great hardware you have there, Jeff. I would love to see it in action.

And at that prompt, Jeff the Pizza Delivery Man starts untying his apron.... ::Cue swanky porn music::
