If you don't mind an hour and a half drive from Orlando to Vero Beach, I have a pair of 80s, 60s, an EP600, EP350, a VP150, VP100 and 4 QS8s you can take a listen to.

Many thanks.
I am curious in M60's (I believe my Pio Elite 94 wouldn;t be too happy with the 4 ohm M80's), the QS8's and W150 (which will work better for the mounting solution I have).
RickF,I will PM you.

Your Elite is a Mosfit based amp and would do fine with the M80s.

Hmm, that would lead to another question(s) How tall would 80's with spikes be? I am forced into a certain mounting situation less than ideal. I have about 41.5 inches in height to work with. Here is a link to a pic of where they would need to go. This opening is being modified with acoustical foam lining to negate near-field reflections that could occur. Also attached is a somewhat dated of the system itself. The opening for the center isn;t wide enough for the VP150, thus why I am thinking of the W150. In addition, I could construction an angled internal frame that would angle the W150 downward, thus helping with the off-axis situation when I am lying on the floor

The 80's with the rubber feet are 40.25". I would think the rubber feat are better in the cabinet than the spikes would be.
I like the look of your system, not too sure about the SQ with the speakers mounted inside like that and with the foam it will get even tighter in that space, nit much room for the speakers to breathe. Any chance you could mount the M80s sticking out slightly from the wall and no doors?

Currently, the effect on SQ has not been too detrimental. The fabric in the doors is acoustical fabric so there is little affect on SQ there. The acoustical foam project is yet to be completed to get a feel for impact there. Needless to say, if detrimental, it can be undone and/or modified.

The problem is not the front panel fabric, however, the foam lining in the enclosure would provide little benefit for first reflection points.
The problem is placing a ported speaker in an enclosed area. A ported speaker needs to filter the low bass into the room. I think most will not recommend placing most of the Axiom speakers, or any ported speaker, in such an enclosed quarters.
Also, you will need at least 6-8' of room behind the 60's or 80's for best results, in a normal back wall setup.

Where I was thinking. I was hoping that I could use a tower instead with some proper treatments.

6"-8" I think is probably acceptable. Most of us don't have 6' of space to leave empty in our rooms...

Treatments consist of bass traps and first reflection points. Bass traps should be placed in corners of the room or corners where walls meet ceiling/floor. First reflection panels go on ceiling and walls where the first reflection point of the speaker relates to your seated position.
Placing foam in that little opening will accomplish nothing, and possibly make matters worse. I meant to say 6" of room behind the speakers to allow the low bass to filter into the room from the rear ports. Again, this is assuming the speakers are up against a wall.
I'm not saying it won't work, you just won't get the best sound for your money. As Rick mentioned, you may want to consider the Architecture W22's and W150 in wall/on wall speakers. Also, Axiom will be coming out with their "T" series in the near future, that will be a flush in wall design.

OK, offering this some more thought.
With the cabinet insulation, I was also looking at making a front piece that would allow the speaker to poke through, and effectively minimize any radiation around the speaker.
Thinking of this in rear ported terms:
If too close to the rear wall, it could get boomy. I could control this by making a panel to seal off the rear of the speaker. (So a panel from the speaker side to wall). Coupled with an acoustical treatment in that area on the walls, should allow me I believe to minimize the effect of being to close to the back wall.
Not a very good description of what I have in my head. What I am looking to accomplish with this is to create an acoustically nuetral enviroment for the rear of the speaker while allowing for space to provide for any needed suspension supplied by the rear ports.
thoughts?

Give it a shot, the worst that can happen is you send them back. I think it will work.

Within the enclosure, the speakers are positioned as far forward as possible. The thought in the foam was to reduce any standing waves occuring. Each enclosure's dimensions are 19 inches wide, 41.75 inches tall and 21.5 inches deep. Anywhere where I can read more about the T Series? The W150 is the item considered for the center due to some dimension requirements, as well as the ability to build a custom frame that will allow me to slightly downangle the center to minimize off axis presentation.

Thank you everyone for your input. I talked to JC at Axiom, and he noted that they will be bringing out in wall versions of the M60 and M80 in the next few months. This will not doubt be a better solution.

For the record, Axiom's project month projections are never right, Amie said I would be able to pre-order the Axiom 2 channel bookshelf in November 2007...it is now January 2008

Geez, Robb, lighten up I learned a LONG time ago to not say either "never" or "always" to my wife. mapatton, given your situation, I'd wait for the inwall M60/M80's. That should be a REALLY interesting design challenge.

Words of wisdom Tom, because once either of those two words are mentioned they will never forget and always remind you.

Thank you. I will be waiting for those new ones. If nothing else changes, will be looking to the M60. Then again, if I get the Lotto, guess it could be the M80s with a new amp
