bookshelf speakers on the floor


I spend a lot of the time on the floor (bad back) and read, listen, waste all the good remaining hours of the day like a lazy cat. I tried a pair of speakers on the floor, - before moving to a stand - and noticed that they sounded better than on a stand - to my ears. When I am on the floor, they sound even better. (Yes, there are a number of things wrong with me)

Is it OK for a bookshelf speaker to be on the floor? And if so, should I put something underneath? (Should I try putting it on my stomach? Just kidding!)

Those legs are solid brass and made to spec for Mapleshade and are also quite pricey. I'm afraid you'll have to peruse the threads here or go online to find something that would work. Hopefully someone here knows of some decent cones of differing heights that would work and can chime in.

I don't see how Nobsound springs would work since you'll need much higher ones up front than the back and the springs seem to need a level surface to work properly. Good luck.

All the best,

Bookshelf speakers on the floor are a tripping hazard! LOL....otherwise, no harm done.

I have a room setup with bookshelves speakers 2-3in above floor, tilted up 15 degrees, 7ft equilateral triangle. 

It sounds awesome whether you're up, sitting on the floor or on a chair.  I love them that way.

BUT, it sounds horrendous with lossy cabinets.  Never do this.
