Please help with bookshelf speaker to place near a wall!

[admin_exported]

Dears,

I need some suggestions about bookshelf speakers that can be placed near a wall (max 5-10 cm).

I was thinking about the leema XERO and goldenote A-3.

I'm searching somethig in the 800-1400 euro value ans so other suggestions would be of much help

Thanks for all the efforts!

Marco

Hi Marco

Spendor make dedicated wall mounted speakers, which cost around £1,000. It really all boils down to what system and budget you have, and whether this style of speaker would suffice? Or is it you're looking for conventional stand mounted speakers that are good close to a wall?

Budget? (he says rather hesitantly)

Sorry Marco - didn't see that in your original post

Certainly look at Ruark Sabre III. They are wonderful little speakers or maybe ATC SCM11.

The Leemas are very involving speaker, but they do err towards the slender side. So if your amp and CDP is punchy.....yes, highly recommendable.

if you live in non uk europe checkout paradigm and canton

totem are also meant to go well close to walls

Why do you need to place it that close to a wall?

Because my room is very small

Should have seen that one coming. Can't really help you, any speaker that close to a wall, side or rear, will be compromised to some degree. Cerainly home trial stuff.

marco try the totem dreamcatchers as i mentioned they go very well close to walls and you can get optional wall brackets

you might also want to try the sonus faber toys too

I tend to disagree. I have a pair of MA BR2's that, after much experimentation, seem to be happiest about 40mm from a rear wall. I know MA BR2's are well below marco's budget but I'm sure if he auditions enough speakers he will find what he is looking for.

Wilson Benesch Square One's are designed specifically to work fine up against a wall, also the Square Two but they are a bit more expensive.

The Spendor SA1 should be fine too.

All these are truly excellent speakers and got 5 star reviews, the Square 1 was the best speaker up to £2000 in 2007 I believe. The review has only gone from the WHF website as they haven't had any to review recently.
