I like bookshelf speakers and subs. They're easier to move around and transport and sound very good. I had some original Cornwalls years ago and most recently KEF Ref 3's. I have no regrets not having 100 lb speakers. Just clean up your electricity and play with the connections.
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Hello,
I’d like to ask your general opinion and experience.
Of course, I plan to hear (if possible) both to make the final call, but would like to know possible long-term experience.
A room is about 14ft x 13ft, a dedicated listening room with couple acoustic panels.
My question is, (specifically or generally)
- Floor stand speaker vs A book shelf type speaker from the upper line up
What would be the better choice?
Technically, the bookshelf would provide enough sound for a room, and it’s from the upper line up, so I think this might be the optimized solution.
At the same time, I personally prefer floor-standing design (not that important), and though there might be slightly more power than I need, I think having slightly more power would not sound like a bad idea.

I compare Marten Oscar Trio vs Marten Parker Duo
Both are relatively new, and the price is basically same...
“This price factor” (assuming you pay for what you get, especially from the same company) is a tricky thing.
If this were B&W 805 vs 704 decision. It would be a lot easier.
What would you choose?
Happy New Year! :D
