Hi There,
Interesting topic and has some relevance to my predicament.
Do bookshelf speakers work / sound near there best on a bookshelf or in my case, on a sideboard?
Soundstage will be compromised by speaker distance but I have 13month old son who is inquisitive and my B&W MT20 surrounds are currently packed away, except for sub (hard baffle) and 2 * M1 on said sideboard.
I am half considering Garage conversion but will be very small room after soundproofing (7ft * 10ft) and not sure will be worth the effort or not.
I already badly miss my old Naim/spendor system, regretting changing for more room / child friendly (so I thought) surround syste,, but am now seriously missing 5.1 SACD / DVD Audio music.
I have Arcam AVR280 and Marantz DV6001 for reference. I guess may need to upgrade also, but wondered if the SCM7 or Dynaudios would work well with other kit on sideboard right against (5cm) wall OR in small garage conversion??
Like Dazzler123 could consider wall mounting although room layout not ideal.
Any advice greatly appreciated as going mad without music!
Ambrose
