Yeah, that slippery slope is a real problem. All I planned to do was add a subwoofer to my M2ti's to get better sound when playing DVDs on my 27" CRT TV...
I gather you have the room and most of the equipment already, so you might be able to put up a [TEMPORARY] sign and do some testing, moving the mains to different positions on the window benches to see if you get a hole. I wouldn't put the mains that far apart in a stereo system but I don't remember ever trying that with a center channel so there may not be a problem.

There won't be a problem with the mains that far apart for movies. 2.1 music is a different story. It's not the width that will kill the holography but rather the lack of distance from the front wall. Expect bass issues also but EQ will fix that. You need to sell that home and start over. Punt the wifey too. Just kidding...don't sell the home.

Mojo ... Seams like you need to take off a week and head up to Dwight. Once there, barricade your self in their listening room and refuse to leave till you have evaluated every speaker they make ... Hah... I bet Ian and Andrew think about going to Mojo's for listening sessions since he has a wider range of Axiom speakers readily available. Ian and Andrew both think I need treatment. They won't come within 100 miles of me. I bet Ian goes home and tells Amie "You won't believe what that freak Mojo did today!"

Well, maybe I'm ready to move then and design a whole new theatre from scratch.
We rarely just listen to music from this system, so I suppose we'll be ok movies being the main purpose.

Ok, as long as we’re spending money here, how does my current sub, the AVS PB12 Plus/2 compare to Axioms? I’ll admit I’ve probably never set it up right since It can get very over the top.

I love my 800v4 (see my review on the product page) but seriously, that is one great sub you've got there! My review here: https://www.axiomaudio.com/reviews/index/list/product/64/

I doubt that ... Ian seems to be very passionate about what they do and what better boost then to get a costumer who is as enthusiastic about the subject and the resulting products that they worked so hard to create.

Rich, I hate them both. I spend way too much time listening to their speakers. I can't wait to move into a tiny house where I won't have any room for their Family of Curves and other fancy gimmicks.
