ANother thought is that you can wall mount the regular bookshelf M22 and get all that the M22 has to offer as some accounts say the on/inwall versions are not quite as good but similarily good.

There is no problem with a sub next to the couch but as has been mentioned it might not be the best place or in my case it is the only place it could go.

Fully agreed with Jay - if you have an option to do the M22's wall mounted on a wall bracket (like the FMB), I think that would be better sound wise than the W22's. The added benefit with the wall bracket is you can aim the speakers. The W's are stuck being flat mounted to the wall unless you do some fancy construction.

That being said, I have so far never wished I could tweak the aim of my W22's. Of course this could be another case of ignorant bliss for me.

My sub is also located behind my couch FWIW.

Axiom spent quite a lot of time and research to ensure that the inwall/onwall versions sound as good as they can, and as similar to the box versions as possible.

I've never been sorry doing what my wife wants. I've OFTEN been sorry trying to do something else.

If you like the look and the form factor of the W22, they would be an excellent choice.

Definitely words of wisdom there (at least for us married guys).
And yes, Axiom did a heck of a job with the in/on wall design. I just listened to the live version of "Say Goodbye" from DMB Best of What's around CD. Completely awesome, that whole 3 minute intro with just drum and then flute is great. Felt like I was there. I can't imagine what it would be like with say M60's or 80's.
