Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands?

3 meters away from monitor speakers is extremely too far. If you can place yourself away THAT far from speakers, perhaps you should consider getting a couple of horn loaded giants or at least, as you've mentioned getting a legit "cruiserweight" ...to... "heavyweight" types of floorstanding speakers. 

Even at the stage of live performances is at the café venues like Birdland, Irridium or BBKing, I would probably find myself closer than 3 meters away most-likely

@tonyl719 A foot x foot-and-half x 3/4 foot is very small room anyways. How you can stretch to 3 meters no idea.

@labguy Definitely. You will feel that. I’d say to go with at least 10" woofer speakers (or doubled woofer) or add sub-woofer or a couple -- one per side.
