I am using Von Schweikert VR-1s in a wall bookshelf and they are fabulous. Used price should be about $600. They disappear and the sound is tall and wide with pinpoint localization of instruments and a natural timbre of voices and strings. I added a small sub but they go to 50 Hz in room.
Best bookshelf speakers???
My listening room is about 11' x 13'. The speakers need to go in a bookshelf. Floor-standing isn't an option (my linn keilidh's are saddened by this turn of events!). I'm pretty much sold on the Peachtree 125 as I can get a silly discount on it through my company. I need some help with the speakers---I've heard the Totem Rainmakers (told they're great for this application), friend is recommending the Silverline Minuets. Some talk of Monitor Audio and even the Peachtree Design 5s.....anyway, since they're oging to be in the bookshelf itself, a rear port won't work. That may rule out the Silverlines. Any thoughts---budget ~ $800/pr. Audio source is mp3-quality.
