Hi
My wife is on the go for redesigining our living room. The problem is my speakers. I have a pair of floorstanders (PMC GBi )and their not ideally placed so I do a lot of my listening through headphones which is fine. However I'm considering ditching these and sticking a pair of bookshelf speakers either side of the amplifier ( Hegel 160 ) instead. I've gathered shelves are a poor option but wall mounts might work. Is this a mad move? If not can you recommend sutable speakers and would it just be a case of sticking a small wall mount either side of the amp and putting these speakers on it?
The reason I wonder if it might work is because I don't listen to loud rock other than on my phones and I listen to a lot of acoustic music and classical.
What do you reckon?
BTW the room is L-shaped and the bit we'd be sitting in is around 9ft x 16 ft and we'd be sitting across from the speakers on the 9ft side ie we'd bde around 7 or 8 ft from them.
