Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)

@mduffy18d  Congrats and I hope you really enjoy the MB1s (the better short term decision, I agree).    I had the 2.5s for a year and a half and loved them immensely.     A decent small sub helped (I had an REL). I only traded them (and other stuff) and was able to move to used Raidho D2s which are kind of an end-game speaker for me.    I think a good small sub will enhance your nice speakers. The tweeter is superb. Have fun.

Look into Aerial 5T bookshelf speakers.  These speakers were designed to be placed close to a back wall.  Read the reviews.  The look and finish are beautiful.  Cost is around 4K depending on finish.  Good luck with your search?

Aerial 5T are designed for bookshelves and sound/look gorgeous.

Why oh why is it always the wives that act like the squelch on a radio scanner?!? Goodness, I hear this so often in more audio forums!, and just some of the comments I poked at in this thread, found similar remarks.

I am 70, have a beautiful home inside and out, neat, clean nicely furnished and retired, NO wife. Have audio systems in a few rooms. How many here in this camp ?

Well, good luck there ’duffy’, enjoy what you can get away with 😉 ! (it is all about the major choices we make in life.)

Be sure to kiss your gear good night and tell it how much you love it and all the things you do together, and how much more meaning to your life it brings...
