Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - M22 mounted on the side - ok or bad?

Hi all,

I have a pair of M22 that I would like to use as back surround in my basement and mount them on the joist (ceiling is open), with axiom standard mount or under the joist, using the axiom ceiling mount and putting them of the side.

The advantage of having them on the side would be that they won’t obstruct to much when heads are passing under them, but since they are not ment to be on the side, would that be a no-no?

If I mount them vertically, they would obviously have to be avoided when passing by… so not that great and hazardous.

I could also just leave them on their stand on the floor but one of them is right in the passage and has to be moved in and out of the way before and after movies watching.

What do you guys think about side mounting M22?

Thank you

Alexandre

You ought to experiment with side-mounting. With tweeters pointed out, the rears may sound wider with a more diffuse presentation. With tweeters pointed in, the rear image may be more in focus.

I originally ordered my M3s with inserts to mount them on FMCBs. At the time I envisioned them as hanging from the ceiling upright. What I found out later was that they needed to be mounted on their side when hung by FMCBs.

So, I asked Debbie the tweeters inside/outside question … she gave the same answer as Mojo … Try both
