Schnit Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey everyone. I've got a 2 channel home theater/music setup in my house. I have a 50" plasma wall mounted, and the speakers on DIY pedestal stands with all the wires hidden. Question is, I'd like to keep the very clean image of a uncluttered setup, and my optimum spot for my new subwoofer is right under my left KG4. So what I'm wondering, is it wrong to mount a couple shelves to the wall to set my KG4s on? Pic for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you will be enjoying the benefit of the passive radiator so close to the wall, but, it looks like you aren't anyway with the speakers right up against the wall like you have them in the pic. Placed properly (if able) the KG4's sound fantastic. I start at 12" from back wall and adjust accordingly for best bass response Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I agree with Tom, you probably want them away from the wall more than they are now. You could always re- DIY the left stand that would allow your sub to be placed underneath. I myself am not a fan of corner loading subs; but To Each His Own... Very nice looking setup; BTW. Clean.... Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Rules here? Nah. Place them how you like. If you are not bothered by putting them close to the wall, make shelves for them. We all have different priorities when balancing sound vs. looks. You will be the main listener, so be true to what you want. Those stands look great. Feel free to post a step by step on how you made them. There are many posts here on DIY center channel stands, component shelves, you name it. Welcome to the Forums.
