I didn't realize that the M22 had a port on the rear.

Are there rear views of the entire Axiom line?

Go on the products page and click on "photos"

click photos on whatever product you looking at.

All of the Axiom regular speakers, except the VP and QS series are ported, The 'W' and 'T' series were designed to be mounted in situations in/on walls cabinets like Panabrite is doing.

I seem to remember someone here suggesting that Axiom could do a custom version of a speaker with a front firing port. Has anyone ever tried this?

If Axiom doesn't do it, maybe Fedex will.

I guess I will have to see if the rear port location will affect the sound stage.My entertainment unit is a wall 26" in front of my basement wall.So basically they are not enclosed in a tight boxed area.I will be bringing the speaker out of the opening about 3 inches.
That is my story and I am sticking to it

So its like a false wall or second wall? If that is the case the bass coming out of the rear port is going to go into the space between the two walls rather than your room. It will affect the sound of the speaker such that you will loose some of the bottom end.

Doesn't really have anything to do with soundstage.

The purpose of the port is to filter low frequencies into the room, I don't see based on the picture how that will be accomplished. I would still consider calling Axiom to see the status of your order and get a second opinion. I think if they were aware of your situation, they might recommend another speaker.

No sense in getting uptight at this point. I will set them up and see. They should be here tomorrow and looking forward to it. I am thinking that low of frequencies from the vent port are not going to effect the soundstage of my music to much with my style of wall unit..
