Look no further for one of the world’s best in-wall speakers on the market. The M22 in-wall is a speaker that will blow you away with sound so detailed and natural you'll listen to every CD you own all over again.

The M22 in-wall is ideal for customers who want hi-fidelity sound that doesn't take up any floor space. It provides the kind of transparent, neutral, wide-range sound you expect from Axiom in an almost-invisible enclosure. The M22 in-wall speaker preserves the sonic signature of the widely praised M22 v2, its bookshelf equivalent, and adds a slim profile -- just 5/8ths of an inch with the grille on, which is a perfect complement to today's modern low-profile plasma and LCD TV screens. 

Hear the Difference


Standard in-wall speakers all have their parts slightly inset behind the wall plane. The M22 in-walls are the opposite - their parts protrude slightly from the wall's surface. The M22 in-wall features a fully integrated enclosure that recesses into the wall, combined with an attractive small exterior baffle that keeps the speaker's woofer and tweeter away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall's front surface. This makes them the first in wall loudspeakers to have the same midrange detail and imaging as a similar bookshelf speaker sitting on stands.

Reviewers and customers love the M22 in both stereo music and home theater settings:

"Combine this speaker with a powered subwoofer in either a two-channel music system or a multichannel home-theater system and you have one heck of a full-range system for a previously unheard-of price.-- John Potis, Goodsound.com

Its output and exceedingly natural sound outperform any speaker in its class:
". . . this experience has forced us to re-evaluate what a pair of $1,000 speakers should sound like, because these certainly sound as good as any $1,000/pair speakers we have ever listened to." -- Gene DellaSala, Audioholics.com

T2 - Hinges facing outEasy to Install

The speaker has an efficient built-in clamping mechanism that anchors the speaker firmly to the wall or ceiling when the screws are tightened. Mount it in the wall or the ceiling - it's your choice. 

Recommended: 
You'll enjoy enhanced and extended deep bass response if you mate the M22 in-wall with one of Axiom's powered subwoofers.

As with all our products, you'll enjoy a 30-Day In-Home Trial with full 5-year warranty.



Professional Reviews

Industry Reviews of the M22 Family

"...a beautifully tuned speaker with an enormously clean and musical midrange combined with a smooth, coherent and friendly treble."

-- Gene DellaSala, Audioholics.com
"The M22ti's also impressed me with their refined response to high frequency material, like the breathy, sibilant background vocals, and the subtle definition of this recording's sweet artificial reverbs as they tail away."
-- Kevin Elliott, AudioWorld.com

Divider

"The M22tis delineated each and every note with excellent clarity, but without edginess, effectively featuring all of the delicate detail."
-- Tom Garcia, AudioRevolution

Customer Comments about the M22 Family

Below are a few of the many reviews that our customers have been kind enough to send us.

I recently ordered a pair of M22tis and could not be more pleased. They look elegant, are well constructed, and, oh yeah, they sound incredible. It made me fall in love with 2-channel audio all over again. I recently ordered a VP 150 and am eagerly awaiting its arrival, and will soon continue to order until I've redone my bedroom theater with a full 7.1 of Axiom speakers. Keep up the great work! You have won yourselves a long time fan and customer.
-- Ben C., TN USA

The Speakers are Great. Thanks for the quick service. I did Audio for CBS TV for 35 years and I have to say your speakers are a great value.
-- Jim R., ME

I read the reviews, saw the awards, and liked the style but had never heard them. I thought I would give it a shot, but had not had a chance to put in my order. My wife bought the M22 bookshelf speakers for the heck of it (without me knowing), knowing I have wanted a new set of speakers. I dragged my wife along to listen to many options over the last couple of years, and I must say the M22 are the best bookshelf speakers we have heard! The first night I had them I did an A/B test with my Polks using Frank Sinatra's Christmas cd and I think it was the first time my wife commented on a speaker's performance. Thank you, Axiom, for making such a wonderful speaker at an outstanding price. They produce a wonderful, crisp, clear sound listening to metal, Sinatra, classical or movies. Keep up the good work, and thanks to my loving and gorgeous wife.
-- Charles D., MN


FYI, those little Axiom speakers are amazing. They are replacing my Martin Logan Aerius($2,500/pair) and I'm not sure I don't like the M22 better.

I just want to let you know that I am completely satisfied with my purchase. My M22s (and stands) were shipped quickly and arrived with no problems. I hooked these bad boys up and my jaw dropped! It sounded like Diana Krall was right there in my living room! Amazing! I only initially purchased the pair to trial the Axiom sound. I love the sound and, let's just say, I will soon have a complete AXIOM 7.1 system. Thanks Axiom!
-- Joe M., CA

Just got the speakers and I've found I'm falling in love with my music all over again. Hearing things I haven't heard before. The sound is very clean without being austere, warm without being wooly. 5-1/4 woofers give amazing bass reproduction, even without a subwoofer, which I may decide to add eventually. But since I don't listen as much to rock/pop as I do to jazz and orchestral, these have plenty of oomph with no distortion. And they look great too. I can't wait to go home and put on another disc!
-- Andy S., NY USA
