yeah a few others are mentioning the diamond 9.1's.

It terms of stands i could put them in my room but they would take up even more floor space, plus the place where i would put them wouldn't be the right listening area. i doubt stands would work unless i shuffled some things around but even so... you need to see pictures or a diagram of my room really.

Well get shuffling! BEST improvement you'll ever make.

If you've not the room for speaker stands then dont try and force them into the space you have.

The 2020's sound good on their dedicated wall brackets so if you're speakers are on wall brackets currently and you'd like to keep them that way; then do that but with the Q Acoustics own brackets!

Yes; standmount speakers DO sound at their best when on stands but if that isnt a possibility then leave it until you can have dedicated stands.

Speaker stands come in different heights; the most popular being 500 and 600mm; some even go up to 1m but you need the height that is right for the tweeter to be at ear height or close as you can IF you sit down to listen to your music (i.e. having the speakers facing straight at you or toe'd in to direct the sound towards you...)

roblikeshismusic:The only thing i want to know about stands is; are they made for cinema setups? becuase im sure its a general sort of rule that the tweeter should be at ear level of your listening position, now if your sitting down watching a film thats fine but most of my listening is done walking around, how does that work? or does it not relly matter? looks like most speaker stands don't make the tweeter meet at ear level when standing.

Check these out: http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-stands-brackets/arc/1268/arc-1268

25/65/85cm using 20/60/80cm poles. They can be mass loaded too!

As you don't have space now and listen standing up, you could use the shortest setting (20cm) on your shelf. Then when you find space use the 60/80cm option depending on the height of your sofa/listening position.

And don't forget to listen to the Customs. Not heard the Q's but best budget speaker I've personally heard with the Denon, including the 9.1's. Just checked and only £100.

Ok thanks!

I do like the fact that the Q Acoustics have there owned designed brackets becuase it reassures me that are designned to be on the wall and still get a good soundstage.

How are the diamond 9.1's for wall mounting?, i have the btech bt77 brackets http://www.amazon.co.uk/BT77-loudspeaker-wall-mount-black/dp/B000IGY8WC.

The 9.1's are front ported so surely i can push them right back or not worry about placement from the wall as much. Also they are curved speakers aren't they, my brackets are side clamps and are square so that could be a bit awkward ...

Are you serious? My wardrobe weighs a ton!

If i did do some shuffling of furniture, i can't move it about now (getting late).

I'm not really 100% keen on the shuffling around anyway..

Well if you're definitely going down the wall mount route then forget the Tannoy's as they need a bit of breathing space.

Alternative wall mount speakers are the Roth Audio OLi1's. Small, compact, and excellent.

I too have limitations on space for stands. Had the BR1s on shelves to start with, sounded pretty good. Now got them on proper wall brackets and sound really, really good. Not aimed at any particular listening point as I also tend to listen to my stuff whilst doing other things and moving around.

Pint: the dm37 will never be a perfect amp.

speakers beeing suggested here can be very good indeed.

I'd always change the amp in a near future.

Yes i know that but all im looking for at the moment is a micro system within £250 and the denon seems to be the best rated. Only other one i considered was the yamaha crxd430 or some of the older onkyo micro hi fi;s. basically anything with at lesat 2 x 25w power. denon is 2 x 30w which is a bonus.

Of course the DM37 isn't a perfect amp. Neither is the Yamaha AX-397 ear uses, the NAD C326BEE I use, the C355BEE Dan is getting or even the Naim Nait 5i that Chebby has. It is a ridiculous statement.

For the money, volume control increments notwithstanding, the little Denon is outstanding.
