Axiom also recommends generic wire for use with their speakers

Hmmm...I wonder how they're able to sell any of their non-generic speaker wire.:)

I do think, though, that if a speaker is designed to function in free space, i.e with the woofers free and enencumbered, I don't see how an inch from a shelf is going to get them to sound anywhere near intended. But if it works for you, more power to you.

I've got a setup with the QS8's near the ceiling. I just can't post the pic on Axiom. 3-4 inches of clearance works just fine in our situation.

Still working on getting a digicam jbz?

Tony,

That's what I'd suggest as well: Use the M2i's on their sides. There will be a difference in the sound, but not all that large a difference. I did comparative tests of the M22 used vertically and on its side some time ago, and it sounded surprisingly good on its side.

But the VP100 will certainly work quite well as a surround speaker.

Regards,

I have a digital camera. I can't post the pics in my posts though.

Thanks for the response, Alan. Would you also choose the 80s over the 60s in my 16 x 18 x 10 foot room?
