Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)

Ok, building new house wife killed my stereo ambitions with an awful built in tv console cabinet.  Room is large, there is Sonos in the ceiling and outdoor area so that’s fine for background.  She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay.  MA352 int amp and a mt5 turntable.  I thought there was room for floor standing speakers next to the built in but sadly there isn’t room.  I can put a sub in, budget is whatever, but I don’t want want to turn 20k Focals into $4000 speakers buried on a bookshelf.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Mark

Raidho xt1 could do the trick, they look nice great reviews.  Wouldn’t mind finding a pair used.

"the designer we hired really F’d me. But I gotta move on. "

mduffy18d,

Unfortunately, living in Florida you’re going to run into A LOT of that.

Incompetent, fly by night companies and individuals abound. Dishonesty is a hallmark trait of doing business down there. I’ve dealt with so many people who are full of sh*t, especially automotive, home repair and AC services. Some of these guys years in business. None of them would last a week in New England.

Yea Carp, the good news is we have a GREAT builder.  NY guy, hits singles not HRs.  He basically took over and fired the designer but some damage was done and we integrated stuff that screwed my audio project.   Just don’t have the space, 3 kids lots of crap.

Legacy Audio has some in-wall/on wall speakers that might work. Their speakers sound decent.
