Short front speakers

A large bookshelf on a short stand would work. If I were in that situation, I would probably fabricate my own stands that tilted the speakers up slightly so they would point towards my ears when at the seating position.


Is that $700 for two, three or more speakers? Not too bad of a budget for two, but it will be difficult to get 5 or more decent speakers for that much cash - Especially if you do not have a sub yet either.

The budget is just for the front two or three speakers. I can make my own mounts too.


I am uprading the speakers in my Onkyo HT-770 system. The layout of the room is such that I currently have rear speakers on mounts I welded up from 1" square steel, but the aesthetics of the room are such that I will probably forgo them to appease Mission Control (aka SWMBO, the rev limiter, or 'er indoors). For now I will continue to use the Onkyo receiver and subwoofer. This is not ideal, but this is making the best of what I have to deal with.


My goal is to get a great sound from just the fronts and the subwoofer.
