Good sound possible on a bookshelf?

I own a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1's that I have on stands but have read that they perform well on a bookshelf as well. You can get some additional information from their website at the Von Schweikert site.

I've also owned the Polks you mentioned and I would forwarn you that I would imagine that the bass response from those would be overwhelming if put on a bookshelf. The VR-1's are much better and even-tempered speakers than the Polks in my opinion.

The one thing to keep in mind about the Von Schweikert's is that they take 100+ hours to break in and the change is dramatic. If you pick some up be prepared for the agony of the first 100 or so hours - but, man, do they sweeten up from there on out!

Hi - I got good results with a pair of B&W Matrix 1 (bookshelf model) and a good friend of mine has Aerial 5 in his office and getting nice results.

Hope this helps,

Allison is making a come back I believe, they are a brand name from Ancient Times B.C. (Before Cable)

They were specifically designed to be placed on a bookshelf and up against the wall. I thought I saw something about them at the show in NYC.

If Kr4 is around, he will know whats up.

I know ACI makes versions of their speakers with the crossovers tweaked for being in a bookcase. I think Salk Sounds may too.

North Creek has one or two designs that are specifically intended for bookshelf or near-wall placement.
