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

"the designer we hired really F’d me. But I gotta move on. "

mduffy18d,

Unfortunately, living in Florida you’re going to run into A LOT of that.

Incompetent, fly by night companies and individuals abound. Dishonesty is a hallmark trait of doing business down there. I’ve dealt with so many people who are full of sh*t, especially automotive, home repair and AC services. Some of these guys years in business. None of them would last a week in New England.

NO wife. Have audio systems in a few rooms. How many here in this camp ?

Be sure to kiss your gear good night and tell it how much you love it and all the things you do together, and how much more meaning to your life it brings...
