Try it and see what happens. She may have a hissy fit, but she will get over it. Or, pull them out to listen and put back when done.
The one time you want to pull out but she says no.
Ok sorry but I will summarize as short as possible. I have a stupid entertainment drywall niche. it's 2feet deep by 10feet wide. That said I have ml 60xt tower speakers, and I think they would sound better if I could only pull them out another 2 feet but I can't due to aesthetic reasons, ok its mostly my better half that won't let that fly. So are there any towers under 10k that would work or should I be looking at bookshelves with subs. my the living room is about 20 x 20 with 10feet ceilings.
