Speaker placement for Joseph Audio rm25si

There's no reason to be a nasty audiophile elitist. Just because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed doesn't mean you have the right to be completely insulting and denigrating. I obviously have no right to ask honest beginner type questions on this board. Sadly, your Mother never taught you that there are no bad questions except the ones that aren't asked, but even more regrettably, she obviously neglected to tell you that if you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut.

Thanks for encouraging my participation in the hobby. I hope I can return the favor some day.

how about if i put them right in front of the cabinetry on the floor? if i did, could i put shelves in the cabinetry and place books on them directly behind the speakers or am i better off leaving the enclosre behind the speakers empty?
thanks for your help
