Genelec all the way. BBC speakers will always need a plinth to perform decently. If you want to go passive then Graham or Harbeth in their smallest configuration. Accepting the lack of performance if no plinth applied. Anti vibration can partially solve the issue.
Help Select an True Bookshelf Speaker
My son loves his music, and TV, and is not what we would describe as an audiophile. We are in search of speakers that are actually made to sit on bookshelves. So many speakers are rear ported and would not work well. Who out there is using, or have heard, models that are suitable for shelves. Oh, he does not want to break the bank.
