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

 Eh, stereo guys can be trusted. Back to the speakers, Raidho is out, 3-4 months and i gotta pay upfront.   Seems a bad option as 3-4 months can be 6-8 quickly in this world.   Thoughts now, maybe something used I can flip out of later?

but I think that the biggest single enemy of the High End is women.

Not in my home.

When my wife and I were first married and house shopping, the number one criteria was the music room. Not the neighborhood, not the school system, not the property taxes, not the kitchen design. The music room.

That's when I knew I had made the right choice. 😁
