Bookshelf Speakers

Bookshelf speakers are meant to rest on a shelf, table or other elevated surfaces – anywhere but the floor. They’re specifically designed to maximize sound in small to medium-sized spaces. Like anything else, doing your homework before making a decision will definitely pay off. For instance, some are geared specifically for movie buffs, while others are tailored to take your music listening experience to the next level.

When you’re ready to pull the trigger on bookshelf speakers, we’ve got you covered with the basics every consumer needs to know.

Just because they're named "bookshelf speakers" does not mean they have to go on a bookshelf. Think outside the box and get creative where you place them.
Whether you place the bookshelf speaker on an actual bookshelf, on speaker stands, or on top of a media console, you need to properly place the speakers. The general rule is to put bookshelf speakers at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions, angling them towards your preferred listening position. The tweeters should be at ear-level for optimal performance.
