Hmmmm...if you do that, I'm not sure if the tweeters should be on the inside or outside. I think inside otherwise there will be some cancellation from the mid. On the other hand, you may get improved dispersion if they're placed on the outside. Best to ask Axiom.

Phil, little worried about the M2s being so high and pointing straight out ... not sure what kind of surround your aiming for.

He's Atmosing. I was worried about that too but I know nothing about Atmos. I'd think you'd want them pointed at the MLP but then again, the M2s have a wide radiation pattern.

Don't know gents. Had the same thought.

The M2OWs won't work with an articulated mount like the FMJ. I suppose you could mount a wedge to the wall and the speaker bracket to the wedge.

So, I ran out of gas and had to stop after 4. Another pair will go under each of the high side wall ATMOS speakers for surround duty. They will be at ear height.

Then a pair of front high ATMOS M2OWs, a pair of EP600s for the LFR1100As and the cooking channel will never have sounded better!

Sure are pretty.

PS looked it up ... if high ceilings should be aimed at MLP. This room has 8' ceilings. Might be OK.

Yes, I really did fall in love with the on-walls. And we're not supposed to fall in love with gear - only music. But in my mind, loving both gear and music gives me a menage-a-trois without any lingering human emotions that regretify the menageness.

Ian could have built you the OW with a fitting suitable for the FMJ. I don't think you'll have a problem though particularly given that you have another set mounted at ear-height below the sides.

I always enjoy cooking with the cooking channel while outfitted in my lime mankini and drinking sarsaparilla with a splash of dark rum.

The M2ow can be mounted with a FMB. Nick Boul was very positive on his FMB mounted M3ow.
I'm planning on mounting my M3ow using FMBs (on ceiling as top speakers).

Also the speaker setup looks more like a very high 7.1 bed setup rather than heights. Do you also have bed speakers? Since they are up ... let's see how it sounds before changing anything ...
