Thanks all for your quick answer, it definitely helps ! SuperQ;479347 Wrote: > As long as you keep some air gap behind the A5 speakers you shouldn't > have to worry about the bass.
That's the issue, the speaker will be squeezed between the books, pushed to the back of the shelf cabinet, so not much of an air gap.

That is probably a nice option, however the attenuator and the connector types would make things more complex than I like. Actually, seeing those XLR and jack reminded me time at the university...

I don't really want to add a subwoofer, but I may have to. urbanshepherd;479434 Wrote: > Due to some reshuffling in the living room, I currently have my A5's at > different heights, and one on a table and one in a bookshelf, very > snuggly at the side.

This is very good to hear. Yeah, I bet my wife and kids would not know better. At certain stage in life, you have to be practical and can't really go for the optimal solution. Actually, priority number one is to protect investment from the kids. I started ripping my CDs when my older kid managed to stuff two CDs together in the CD player and badly scratch another one. Also gone are all the remote controls, which is why I'm waiting for the Touch. bhaagensen;479575 Wrote: > I think that usually it is actually the opposite.

My belief is that with the speaker stuck in the cabinet and squeezed between books, with virtually no space behind, you will have no bass extension at all. bhaagensen;479575 Wrote: > Nonetheless another option, if you insist on the AE route, could be the > A2's (which afaik are not rear-vented) and the accompanying sub. I would prefer to avoid a sub if I can, as I would need to find a place to put it, out of reach of my kids...
