Best Speaker under 31 inches tall

no sean bose 901s with cerwin vega 26 inch woofers.

I'm intrigued.........

Why would you ever need/want to put a speaker on top of a refridgerator?? If you do, should you worry about shielding?? Vibration?? I guess not, thus why the prior responses are so cynical!

kennyt is right. sean & kirk, you guys are really impolite. so tony, let me make sure i've got your configuration down. you want a center channel only for the top of the fridge, which you apparently use as a very clever ht monitor? i'd just get another gershman and turn it sideways. cut off the overhang and cover the scar with decorative paper. see marthastewart.com. -cfb

Shame on you Sean! Everyone at this web-site knows "BOSE" is a four letter word. Even people that don't frequent this web-site know "BOSE" is a four letter word. As a matter of fact, I pity anyone who thinks "BOSE" is anything more or less than a four letter word. Hope this helps:~)

Replace your fridge with two small dormitory models 18-24" tall. Use some quality spikes to spkie them to the floor. I would then get a few pouds of blu-tak to isolate them form the speakers. You now have a symetrical setup and have plenty of vertical room to set up your speakers. You could still use your Gershmans, but I would recommend using a large sattelite subwoofer system. This would be aesthetically more appealing and having the subwoofer off in a corner would keep the bass off the fridge and hopefully save your eggs from the threat of getting scrambled.
I would reccomend a beautiful pair of Sonus Faber Concertina monitors, a beatiful Walnut and leather clad Italian beauty that would not embarrass any fine kitchen appliance. To add some serious bass to this I would tuck a REL subwoofer of in a corner.
I know this is a lot to consider but it truly is the only way to meld the sonic performance you are looking for (Imaging, soundstage and detail) with a major kitchen appliance. The fridge being the obvious choice and I applaud you for it the oven would prove an obvious hazzard and the dishwasher is just plain to noisy. I would recommend auditioning a few different fridges and seeing which on best compliments your speaker of coice. I would strongly recommend carpeting the front door of the fridge to cut back on any unwanted time smearing reflections.
Bon Appetite
