Might end up being easier than that... if the sub is sufficiently close to the listening position then I *think* that means you don't have to worry about being in a node.
The "subwoofer as end table" model.
I was thinking "EP100 under or beside the bed"...

 Sounds like we've got a plan. Cam, get the beer cold. Busy weekend ahead.

Interested to see what you end up choosing and what you like with your new setup Cam.
Pdermody & Icehawk - did you get your M5 OW's? I'd like to know I've got company out there!
Since we are supposed to be getting 2 days of rain this weekend I plan to make some progress on drywall repairs so I can properly mount the M5's soon.
I keep being amazed at how low these play for an on wall speaker. My MCACC calibration saw these speakers as 'large'. However I am playing with crossover to see what I like best. I also use pure direct mode just for fun to mess with straight stereo full range signal playback with no sub. Fun stuff.

Hey bridgman, have you had to roll up your pants yet.

What others think of me is none of my business.

Cam, what kind of distance & separation were you thinking about ? While lying in bed, my head is 9 1/2 feet from the wall, and the spots where I was thinking of installing them (blue circles) are 12 1/2 feet apart. I just had a custom built-in installed (shown at the right edge of the picture). Prior to that, my right channel Paradigm monitor 9 sat in the corner of the cubby that the built-in was framed into, which would be about two feet to the right of the blue circle. When I did major renovations and installed the French doors, we ran speaker wire from my Denon 3808, up and over the door frame, to the floor (basically right below the blue circle). Thanks for the help.  http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss81/Quadcam99/2017-05-09%2019.15.59_zpsbtbibsfc.jpg Sorry for the big quote... Is it possible to move your bed to the left? You could close up the gap between your M5's.

This might sound like a crazy idea, but how about mounting the speakers on the wall behind the bed rather than in front of it ? Your ears won't care.
The speakers would probably have to be toed in quite a bit to get the best imaging but there is probably room for that. Might even be possible to use bookshelf speakers on small shelves fastened to the wall...

Have many people received the QS10 speakers yet? We are mid May now and I haven't heard anything at all from an order back in January when it was charged. I was under the impression they were originally scheduled in April but still seem to be waiting. Wonder have there been production problems with them?

brendo got his 10's but otherwise haven't heard from anyone else for the on-wall M5's or QS10's.
You'd figure Axiom would be caught up with pre-orders by now. Did you check with Axiom for an update?

Hey guys. Thanks for the suggestions, and sorry for my absence and late reply.
I like the smaller speakers + subwoofer idea, but I don't really have room for a sub (well, I could put one under my TV, but my receiver would have to sit on it). I also can't mount the speakers behind my bed because it's an outside wall, and I don't want to mess with the vapor barrier etc. Annnd my bed can't be moved to the left because I need the space for my wheelchair. I did think about mounting them just below the ceiling, but the M5's won't fit above the french doors.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
