That didn't look big enough for that size of screen, which is why I thought there would be room under it.

Ya, the FMB will hold the VP150 but use caution. The VP150 has a threaded insert in the back of the speaker that the FMB simply bolts to. There have been a few reports of the VP150 twisting on that lone single bolt, so I would add an extra screw or two through the outer openings on the FMB mounting plate. There was another instance of the insert pulling right out of the back of the 150, the solution was to drill right through the back of the speaker and use a nut and bolt to hold the FMB to the speaker.

Don't over tighten the FMB. That will pull the insert through the back of the speaker.

Finally Pulled the Trigger tonight...I hope I will like it. I did Paradigm Monitor 11 audition before, Heard Axiom 5 series , own Polk Monitor series. Hopefully I will like the sound. I will probably listen with Pioneer 1120 or Onkyo 3007.

VP150 + M60 Fronts + M22 Surrounds

If I may offer a piece of advice is unless the sub you purchased from ED is in stock (which most are not and generally built to order), I would suggest you keep on them regularly about promised delivery dates. Back a couple of years ago, I ordered something from them that missed two delivery dates and it took several weeks before I got the speaker. This situation has gradually worsened during the financial meltdown and recent forums show it. They make good products but because of my experience, I would be reluctant to ever order anything from them again.

Hopefully, this situation has improved in the last little while.

Looks like you're going to have yourself a heck of a nice HT room and hopefully the Axiom sound will be just what the doctor ordered. Congrats!

Keep us updated with the progress of the room, looks great so far.

I am not audio expert at all...
Still waiting for 3 more M22's (coming on Monday)

First View on Axioms:
1. Package was nice, but got beat up by FEDEX people, M60 speaker box was damaged, but speaker condition is ok
2. B-Stock Items - dont know whats the difference with A stock items. Except I found lot of dust in the Speaker Grill.
3. lol, Axiom need to change their logo material "axiom" on the front of the speaker, very cheap material . could have been better



Running with Pioneer 1120 today. Tomorrow with Onkyo 3007.
1. Started with Random songs -- Boom, I was not really happy at all.
Turned off the music for 1 hour.

Started with Simple Music (Indian Movie Songs)
* Great - perfect
Then SITAR Music
* I can hear everything in that recordings from CC
Then Hotel California -
* Happy
Then some Pick Floyd songs
* Song quality is not good, i need to look for some original CD's or download some hq songs

Played Dark Knight Movie earlier before music, Didn't like at all...Too loud. Not crisp. Too much is coming out of Center Channel. I may need to set right Mode settings in receiver.

Tonight Plan: Lot of Vocal involved movie -- KILL BILL
Going to watch Kill Bill I.

So far : 70% happy

thanks guys..
Sounded Awesome
