If the speakers really are an exact fit then it won't matter. If there's a space around them then of course some sound from the back is bound to come out around them in front. The high tech solution is Owens Corning 703 acoustic panel, cut to fit behind and/or around. But you could just as well stuff a blanket or pillow in there.
Is This A Bad Move?
I have a pair of Large Advents and a pair of ADS L-810s I want to use in the same system. Due to space limitations, I was forced to buy two nice higher-end bookshelf units that coincidentally had the exact measurements needed for the speakers (I took that as a sign I was on the right path). Unfortunately, the bookshelves are not open at the back, and I'm wondering if that will affect the speakers' sound to the point I'll be unhappy. The speakers will be in a horizontal position, which I know works well since that's how I've got them oriented now. I will drill holes in the cabinet backs and install grommets to allow me to run the speaker cables. I will have to make a decision on which pair should be on the lower shelf and I'm leaning toward that being the Advents. Anyone else been down this road?
