Get on-walls with an FMB mount and terminal posts to connect your speaker wires to. The FMBs will allow you to clear the TV. The on-walls will also play nicer with your room when it comes to bass. Just trust me and don't experiment with moving them into the room because you will be totally let down when you have to wall-mount them.

Argh, the bookshelves look so good on stands! I need more space!
On-wall with FMB sounds like the way to go (Ian had the same recommendation). The website specs list them as "Enclosure: Reflex/Vortex". Do on-walls have a reflex port on the bottom?

Yes, they do have a port on the bottom. I am getting on-wall and bookshelf M2s and plan to run both in the same rooms to see what the audible difference is between them.
Yes, they do look great on stands. They look small in that large room of mine but sound PERFECT! I blind-fold listeners and after their listening session, they look around the room to locate the large speakers. Of course it's just M5s which they refuse to believe until I play them again and they go up to them to touch their drivers.
Yup. Most of us need new spaces. Mine isn't ideal either.

Interesting! Yeah, M5's probably blow most towers out of the water.

They can't touch the M100s for dynamics and fidelity even when fed gobs of power. To my ears though, the M5s are more refined for soundstage and imaging. The actives are everything the M100 and M5 is scaled up by at least an order of magnitude.
I expect the active M5s to be better than the M100 because they will be just as sensitive, more accurate, with better imaging and soundstage and easier room integration.

Active M5's are a thing? When I said towers, I meant non-Axioms

They are. I'm not letting out any secrets. Ian has posted at least once that they will be available for near-field monitor applications which I suppose is for recording studios. They will have the same FOC as the passives but of course with higher accuracy. The listening window and sound power curves wont be like the active LFRs though due to the fact they won't be "omni-directional".

Work on Ian to get us on-wall LFRs.

Work on Ian to get us on-wall LFRs. I wouldn't want to be the one writing the DSP code for those... "C'mon, it's just like a normal LFR except the front and back drivers are both on the front and there are no sides".
