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

Ok, so now that we've established that. I like the idea of the Wilson Duette. Your situation is kind of what they were designed for.

Johnk, Ill post a pic of the wall later.  Dont think i have the space.  One side opens up to pool, other to the front entry, kitchen behind it and a built in w big screen and whatever audio stuff I can jam in there.

Duette's wont work in a shelving/cabinet unit. They work fine close to wall but no way in a cabinet.

More to discover
