BS/FS for a 11x18 room.

[bpranay]

well thats personal.
a good stand cost+bs=maybe fs....

so its personal...i would buy simple table and diy its stability and keep bs upon it

Can't I mount BS on a glass top which is screwed to the wall with the help of heavy F brackets? Or do I compulsorily need to have BS stands?

Coz the stands itself costs a lot and you are true that you would get FS in the total sum of BS+stands

You can place them on the glass shelves & have rubber/plastic tabs at the bottom of the speakers so they don't move but in this case I think the speakers being rear ported it might not be apt.

Hi,

Can I assume that 10 series can not be wall mounted then as it is rear ported.? What would be the best placement option ?
Should we invest in a decent speaker stands for 10 series BS?

Thanks,
Sunil

I would strongly recommend getting speaker stands if you are planning to use bookshelves as the fronts.

A table top, bookcase or any other solution to keep bookshelves on will only take you halfway into your journey towards music/movie enjoyment. An oft-ignored aspect of audio reproduction is speaker placement. Having dedicated speaker stands will help you to:
(1) Isolate the speaker so as to reduce vibrations
(2) Play around with speaker placements and achieve optimal speaker placement for best sound quality.

Best,
APK.

In this case, I would prefer to go for FS rather than BS.

Most high end Book Shelf speakers require 1 foot min distance from the wall at the rear. Check this requirement if you plan for wall mounted brackets.
