Bookshelfs paired with Atom; placed on shelf close to the wall

[fmzg]

Hello guys!

I moved recently from my old apartment to the new one. Unfortunately, space is limited and only place I can place my speakers is shelf, and obviously close to the wall. I sold my old and beloved PMC Twenty 22s with stands, and bought Linn Majik 109s. And the are pretty good, but I was debating to buy something more “hi-end”. Sometimes, I miss details I got from the PMCs.

So, I am looking for recommendations for bookshelfs that:

1. Are not super sensitive on positioning since they will sit on a shelf close to the wall.

2. Work well with my much loved Atom.

P.S. There is option to sell Atom, and buy something like LS50 Wireless II. But I really love my Atom.

Concentric with the port on the bottom of the speaker.

PMC and ATC do wall mounting speakers.
Or this:

Speakers in alcove. Wall shelfs above?

Beneficial to some aspects of speaker sound is mounting in the wall, with front baffle flush with wall. Such mounting is very common in recording/mastering studios (where it is called soffit mounting). Position such prevents the “comb filtering” otherwise caused by sound waves bouncing off the wall behind the speaker reinforcing or partially cancelling direct sound waves at various frequencies. I have often thought that a way to achieve that, particularly with “bookshelf” speakers, is to mount …

These dont seem like an upgrade over PMCs or Linns.

I went with Ophidians in a miniature office room.

Both Minimo and Mojo are top performance bookshelfs which works close to rear wall.
They do need a bit power though.

Another fine option is Neat Iota which might need a bit more distance if memory serve.

Proactive Tablette 10s perhaps… I have Harbeth P3ESRs and they seem better with a little bit of space. The traditional LS3/5a’s might be a shot but I think would be a downgrade from your 109s.

I was researching Tablettes and P3. They seem like the only “obvious” choice.

You need to listen to some Proac Tab 10’s. I had exactly the same set up - Atom driving Tab 10’s on shelves close to the wall. They were very special together and if I had to put together a system again for a small room with near field listening I would go back to Atom/Tab 10’s
