I take it that you recommend the santos rosewood in satin ... I’m seriously thinking about doing that.

Yes he does and so do I. He also likes his sealed, custom M80 centre and QS10s.

So am I.
You do know you'll get reflections no matter the finish. Easiest way to eliminate acoustic reflections from your TV is to get rid of it.

Im sure satin would be fine. You can knock down reflections with a very light wet sand with 1500 grit. We had a family BBQ last night so the M5s had a good workout. Liking them more and more. They really seem to like playing loud. Which is handy and fun for hearing music over kids running around being kids.  Oh yeah, before bed I grabbed a metric allen key and tightened up all the fasteners. Highly recommend doing this. Just go snug. Dont overdo it.  The tweeter to waveguide werent too bad. The other screws mating to the cab all gained between 1 and 3 turns. Pretty normal with new speakers. Easy tweak everyone should do.

I've thrown the entire ADA-1500-2 at them. Crossed over to my 800, they did not distort. Without the 800, the HP driver distorts. I don't consider that a short-coming at those ridiculous power levels. Everything has a limit and this one is practically no limit at all for the intended application.
With a sub, they can be driven to 107dBC peaks at 14 feet MLP.
Set up properly in a room, the imaging and soundstage are surreal. Then again, so is the M2, M3 and M50. The surrealness comes from dropping the tweeters below ear level.
They are the highest value, most versatile speaker Axiom makes.

Demo complete. Pretty sure another Axiom customer heading their way. Should be a fun setup for me to help out on. Not sure how many speakers he will go for at once. Maybe just LCR for now. Budgets are a bummer...
