Some searching and I found north creek Okara II that is supposed to be designed for bookshelf applications. I can do the kit, so I may go that route if it is an upgrade in sound from my Rogers.
A bookshelf on a booksheld--compromises?
Hello,
My speakers are Rogers LS7. I am thinking of upgrading (room is 17x25x9.5open to another larger room via hallway, floor to floor windows 2 sides wall to ceiling cabients other 2 sides.) to speakers for both music and HT.
I have looked at B&W 804 s and like them, but just not sure a floor standing speaker will work. I have always thought that putting a monitor/bookshelf speaker on a cabinet shelf (it is 24" deep) would compromise the sound, so why spend the money.I also can't place them on stands because of cabinet doors, so monitors/bookshelves would have to go on the cabient shelves (otherwise I am looking at florstanders).
Is it worth investing in more expensive bookshelf speakers (e.g., Merlin TSM) if they are going on a cabient shelf (they can protrude from the shelf)? Or is this just too big a compromise?
