I'm curious what will happen with the price of all of them. IMO the swivelling Bryston's were/are very reasonably priced. I was shocked actually, expecting there to be a larger difference in price between the current in ceilings.

I put up a whistling smiley and you guys take it to mean some sort of confirmation of something. What if I put up TWO whistling smiley faces and a winky face? What would THAT mean? Or THREE whistling smiley faces and a crazy face? Something different? Maybe I should just put the following in a post: ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ That way you can read whatever you want "between the lines." For the record, I have not stated any specific detail. Until Axiom makes some sort of announcement on anything at all, things should be taken with a grain of salt... or two grains... Just the sort of reaction I would expect from someone who let the cat out of the bag. HMMMMMMMMMMMM

I hope they have a 15 degree or more tilted/driver tweeter combo. Straight down firing are for whole house audio applications. Not so great for home theater IMO. Havent heard the M3 in ceilings though. my rear heights could be down firing, but front heights really should be angled towards the mlp in my room. Talking 7.2.4 atmos not auro. Many interpretations of front heights I guess now.

I'm curious what will happen with the price of all of them. Me too. The ~500$ pricepoint puts them up against other offerings with much more to offer in terms of driver adjustability, db trim switches etc. I've looked at a lot of options, and these look similar to a monitor audio design. The plastic back surround is very similar. To be honest, once you subtract a wood cabinet there really isnt much to them. Yet they are close to regular M3 pricing. I guess we are paying more for the fresh R&D and tooling? Dunno. Are the in ceiling M3s even made onshore?

I would think that they are made right there in Canada. They make their own injection molded plastic parts onsite in Dwight. In fact, there is push to make more and more things onsite as it is less money going out to other companies, better quality control, etc.
From my tour and conversations, there are a few things that will stay overseas, but those are things like the drivers which are made by Axiom in their Axiom facility in China (not a 3rd party group making them, but actual Axiom controlled facility), and the circuit boards made by a 3rd party group. That is why Ian and Debbie spend so much time in China. Many months of the year involves one of them being in China to monitor the processes.

Something told me not to buy my ceilings so early.
