Speaker placement for Joseph Audio rm25si


I want to place the above speakers into open cabinetry on either side of a fireplace. The cabinets are 24" deep, 19" wide, 48" tall and 5" off the ground. The cabinetry is made of solid cherry. Any opinions on whether this would be ok, as opposed to having the speakers directly on an oak floor. Either way the speakers will be on spikes. Will their placement on a bookshelf, so to speak, albeit one only 5" off the ground, greatly affect sound quality. Please help!!!!!

That would not be the best way to set up the rm25's. They are very nice speakers.

That sounds like a better choice. If the speakers are in front of the cabinets,they should image quite well. Give it some time and move them around. Speaker setup makes for big changes in sound.
Most important!
Have fun.
