General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: bookshelf speaker recommendation

Unless you provide a bit more information, you are likely to get suggestions that are great for someone else but would not be good for you.

Do you really mean speakers that will sit in a bookshelf or do you mean :

- Small speakers that sound best on stands out from the walls. (most so called bookshelf speakers)

- Need to sit close to the wall but should have a small footprint (could be a small floor mount speaker)

- Will sit against a wall on or above a desk

How far will you be from the speakers and how big is the room?

What kind of music do you like and how loud do you want to play it?

What is most important to you in the sound? eg Detail, easy to listen to for hours, imaging, bass, great at voices, dynamic contrast? We all want all of those things but no speaker is best at all of them so its a question of getting one that is best in the things that matter most to you.

Any constraints on appearance or cost?
