This is a possibility. I'm exploring all options  Why not just wall mount regular M22s with a Full Metal Bracket? Do you want something in between an on-wall and a standard bookshelf in depth?

I would second SirQuack's judgements of the on-wall M22s vs the Bookshelf version. Specs are helpful but they don't tell you everything, and you definitely need a subwoofer with the on-wall M22s. I was always under the impression that if you could hear it, you could measure it. That appears to be Dr. Tools message in the papers and articles I have read. I would love to have a conversation with you around this topic during the anniversary gathering.

I have a set of both 22's being discussed here. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have either without a sub, so to me, the "you need a sub" point is mute. I prefer the O/W 22's over the regular M22v2's by a large margin. The mid / highs to me are much more pleasing. Now the latest M22's, it would be safe to assume, sound just as pleasing to me as the O/W's due to having the same components.

Do you have the bookshelf M22's set to large, and are the rear ports near a wall?

I have the iw/ow 22's and I wouldn't use them without a sub, but I haven't exactly compared them to the standard M22's in my room, either. I would agree with michael however in that chances are you're going to want a sub with either one (especially for movies), so the point is kind of moot.

Maybe it's just me, but with the standard M22's I felt that I really didn't need a sub, even with movies.

I wasn't happy with the in wall or on wall compromise- just compare the cabinet volumes- the difference is huge.

I'm still hoping for an On-wall M23 in Cinnamon Beech. (OW M23 = OW M22 with expanded cabinet size. Say 3 inches taller and 1.5 inches thicker. Maybe with 3 midrange speakers instead of 2. From top to bottom, WTWW, or WWTW.)
