Hi,
I am looking for HiFi speakers (priced up to £1000-1200 or so) that are actually designed to sound best when placed in an actual bookshelf. That is, directly backed up against a wall and surrounded by books etc. unfortunately, I have no other placement alternative in this room.
I do know that there are stand-mount speakers, especially front-ported ones, that can sound "ok" also when placed under such difficult conditions (e.g., B&W 685:s) but what I am looking for are speakers that will not just sound ok but that are actually made for this placement, and will sound excellent when placed in a bookshelf.
Do such speakers exist? I cannot possibly be the only person with such requirements?
Very thankful for any advice.
Best regards from a snowy and cold Stockholm, Sweden,
Jonas V.
