Spend some time listening to both the M3 and M60 in there. See what qualities you like of those two. The M5 will give you similar sound as the M60 while disappearing as well as the M3.

Hah I will be sure to post my thoughts on the M5OW when I get them in 3-4 weeks. Since this thread is still going, what is the next piece to my system I should consider? Sub, surrounds, center? I saw some suggestions with a phantom center here. There is two of us that would be watching the tv. Plan on purchasing the next item later this year in the winter. Will likely wait to see if Axiom runs a sale in November.

A VP100v4 on-wall or M2v4 on-wall center depending on what fits your space best. Whitewash Maple VP100! https://www.axiomaudio.com/bst-99

I’d say subs after the Center, 2 x ep125!

Lol I did see this on the site. I think my wife would kill me if I bought that now, but I will probably end up getting this center next later this year.

Yeah but think about this. What if the missus is off-centre when she's listening to the M5s? And she curses you because the dialog isn't in the centre and sounds weird? Then she's gonna come down hard on your ass, yeah? So I guess one tactic may be to give her the good spot right between the M5s so she don't complain.

So when would you use M5s, what's the cut-over? (Room size, use, something else?) the M5's can play louder than the M2 but I think the real reason to go with the M5 would be to crossover to the sub at a lower frequency. I haven't noticed a problem but there probably is some low-end directional info being lost with the M2's Okay, so I was on the right track; I just wasn't going the M2 enough credit. Hah I will be sure to post my thoughts on the M5OW when I get them in 3-4 weeks. Since this thread is still going, what is the next piece to my system I should consider? Sub, surrounds, center? I saw some suggestions with a phantom center here. There is two of us that would be watching the tv. Plan on purchasing the next item later this year in the winter. Will likely wait to see if Axiom runs a sale in November. Always a tough choice! For music I'd say it would be the sub; but you really won't need it that much. (At least with my standard M5s sometimes I set it to large and go without the sub in my smallish room (12x13). For movies, if you are more into action, then the sub; if drama is more your thing, then the center for the dialog.

music wise there are 2 reasons you might consider a sub: 1 - you receiver or amp doesn’t have enough power. The low end takes a lot of energy which can/will effect all the frequencies if it runs out of juice. 2 - your into organ or electronic music with a lot of content below 30-40 hz
So, Music wise In most cases your fine with just the M5’s If you play it at reasonable volumes … I would not worry especially in a small room unless your into cranking it.
Video wise a sub is a big deal unless you have well amp’ed mains which can truly go down to the 20Hz area. It’s the boom, rumble, and whomp of any action movie. A center is important to anchor dialog / action to the center of the screen for all seats … it’s more important in a small room as there is probably a smaller sweat spot.
Bottom line is that only you can prioritize which to go for first …
