Well now. Looky here. In ebony no less. Love my ebony M50s.

Copy that. No IW. OW only. It will be a while before that happens for the garage.

Still waiting on my orders. I clicked standard order, no waiting. Hmmmm. Ordered April 30. Should be here by now…..I was hoping the ZA-1000 would get here so I could try it out for a bit before taking it to work.

I want to get a pair of m5 bookshelves for the great room first before I do the garage. We’ ll see. I could see putting some m3 OW in the garage though with a basic amp and Bluetooth connect. Maybe I need a music cast system for the garage , the kitchen , and the back deck….

You can't put the bookshelves on a bookshelf. Stands it must be. Which is why Ian advised, get M60s. About the same cost as M5 with stands. I wonder though if the M5 acoustically disappears better than the M60.

They would go on stands. I know better than to shelve them. After stands costs are in I might as well drop for m100, especially from bstock. Who knows. Lots of options.

I found in all of my rooms, the M100 would not disappear as well. But...larger images, more presence, wider soundstage, louder and higher fidelity than M5. The 1000-2 with M100 is a formidable pairing. 1000-2 with M5 not so much. Nonetheless, I take M5 over M100 because of the disappearance. But I want the 1500-2 with the M5.

I think the m100 is a better fit for my large space and will fill that space for less money than m5hp plus 2 subs. It’s a toss up. I love the disappearing act which is why I was thinking m5 plus subs. I don’t know if the m100 will fill my space with satisfactory bass or not. My m60ti do not.

You will think the bass is so awesome. But then, when you add a sub, you'll realize you were living a lie. Even for music.

I can say though that my active LFRs don't need a sub for music in my 4200 cu. ft. room. I routinely don't turn my subs on for music. You will have listened to enough Axioms to fully appreciate the actives.

Maybe just save up and work out a great deal for actives. Invest in what I told you and save up the divies.
