Shrink Totem 1's?


Hello 

New here. I have a pair of Totem 1's which have been in storage for a few years, in order to get them to fit on my bookshelf I plan to cut them with table saw and take about 4" of depth away. These are rears and space is limited.  I have low expectations on the outcome but I'll keep this post updated as what materializes with this project.  PS these are about 5/10 condition so not too worried about the outcome. Also fronts and center are all Totem (in better condition). Wish me luck. Thanks

Come on you guys, these are old speakers I have owned them for about 20 years.

I will supply pics as I go.

If that is an option.

Oh wow thanks for the great responses. I'm totally rethinking this project. 

The JBL Classic l52 fit the space opting for the orange covers. Just can't see myself removing the covers while listening to them. These seem a little over priced but could work, any opinions on them? A few pairs on the net now for sale already broken in. If I go this route I'd want fronts to match..

My mighty Totems might end up in the basement listening room untouched.

Decisions decisions..

The front of listening area almost done.

Cutting out the wall to accommodate the speakers cannot be done it's exterior wall and it's 2 degrees outside currently.  I wish I could do it though.
