Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands?

Hi,

 

I have a 23" high 80" long console that has a 65" TV on it which is 57" wide.

 

This leaves 11" on either side of tv  to place a monitor (bookshelf) speaker.

They would be about 5.5 feet apart and 23 inches off the ground on a 200lb solid wood cabinet. I'm afraid if I place bookshelf speakers on stands on either side of the console they will be too far apart (approx 8 ft apart, and I sit about 9-10 feet back ), At that point I should consider Floor floorstanders. Your thought?

That would depend on the size of the monitors and whether they are supplemented with subwoofers.

My room is 12" x 18" x 9" and my ATC SCM19's + subs is more than adequate. 

And having them 8' apart and 9' from you is almost ideal and allows you room to tweak their positioning. Something having them on the cabinet doesn't allow for.
