I have always been a bit puzzled by speakers like these, as standmounts. They don't take up any less room, on stands, than floor standers. The Atacama stands that these look to perched on - the Atacamas are a 5* stand, at any rate - are £120 at Richer Sounds
Haven't you heard of the 'Wife Acceptance Factor'?
Surely the issue is the size of the room. I live in an apartment with a fairly small living room and found floorstanders overwhelming which meant I had to play them at low volumes in order not to upset the neighbours. It meant they could never really ‘sing’. Smaller speakers means you can turn them up and really hear what they can do.I have always been a bit puzzled by speakers like these, as standmounts.

Total price £419 from R. S. - the same price as a pr of Fyne Audios 302's. Oberon 5's @ £499. Q Acoustics 3050 [G] @ £349.
Unless floor space is an issue and these speakers must go on shelves - they used to be called 'bookshelf', this sort of speaker - why lose the bottom end that only volume [of air shifted] can give?
And the performance if placed on a shelf is almost certainly going to be inferior to stand-mount. Back to sq 1.
As my guitar guru says, why buy a two pick-up guitar - 2/3rds of a guitar - when you can buy a Strat? [Yeah, I know - humbuckers v s/c]
That's a very fair point. Never had that problem - well, not since flat share/bedsit 50 years ago 😄Surely the issue is the size of the room.
