Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M22ti mounting question

Well, I've been reading many (and posting in some) forums over the last year in anticipation of building my HT. I decided on Axiom speakers several months ago and have been perusing this board ever since. I will be needing to make a purchase relatively soon as the construction is starting to progress. I've come across a potential problem, however, and was hoping someone could help me out.
The front wall of my room is 8' high. At the 8' point the ceiling angles to a final height of 10' (at about a 45 degree angle). I'm planning on having a projector screen that takes up most of the wall. I am planning to have the M22ti's mounted on the angled part of the wall (as well as the VP150). Will I be able to mount them on a wall that's not perpendicular? If they're flush with the wall, the sound will probably be directed just in front of the main seating area, so I'll probably want to angle them differently (than the natural slope of the wall/ceiling). Will this be a problem?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Welcome Stew,

I'm not sure I understand the configuration of your wall and ceiling. At first you say the ceiling is angled and then you say the wall is angled.

But regardless, this might be what you need. In the photo, imagine the bracket attached to a vertical wall. In that position, the bracket could be tilted to aim the speaker down toward the listening area. On a 45 degree angled wall or ceiling, simply mount the bracket upside down, and the speaker could be angled properly. However, you should check with the folks at Axiom to be sure I'm not leading you astray.

If that doesn't float your boat, you might find what you need here.

Let us know what you do, and how it works out, will you?

I use wall and ceiling interchangealby in this case, because it's really neither. The front and back walls of the room are 8' high, but the ceiling in the center of the room is 10' high. The wall (or ceiling, am I confusing you yet?) angles in towards the center of the room at both ends to reach the 10' height.

I will look into your suggestions, thanks.

You're welcome. Hope you find a solution.

I understand what you're saying.
You won't want to flush mount the M22 as it is a rear-ported speaker that needs some room to breathe. Using a bracket that provides some space behind the speaker is an option - apparently you need a minimum of 2".
It seems to me that mounting them on the angled part of your ceiling is a bad idea. They would be way higher than your TV image - not locked in to the screen at all. And for music it probably won't seem very natural. I would look for a lower spot to mount my speakers.
