Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)


Ok, building new house wife killed my stereo ambitions with an awful built in tv console cabinet.  Room is large, there is Sonos in the ceiling and outdoor area so that’s fine for background.  She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay.  MA352 int amp and a mt5 turntable.  I thought there was room for floor standing speakers next to the built in but sadly there isn’t room.  I can put a sub in, budget is whatever, but I don’t want want to turn 20k Focals into $4000 speakers buried on a bookshelf.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Mark

Try something good/inexpensive to get you started.

The Sonus Faber speakers (linked) were designed with bookshelf placement in mind, plus they are nice looking and well received/reviewed.

They could always be used elsewhere once you are settled in and have a grip on the new room's sonics.
