Switching totems


I’m finding my totem sttaf speakers are great 3-4 ft from the wall but we re building a huge wall bookcase and I won’t have space to bring them out. Any suggestions? Nad 356 amp and nad CD player. I know arro is supposed to be good but what about bookshelf speakers that might literally just sit on one of the shelves or is that a ridiculous idea.

One last thing -

If you are planning to place the speakers inside the bookcase, make sure you allow for running the cables out of sight.  Insure that there are drill outs in the back wall of the cabinet.  

Where do you plan to place the components?  Inside the bookcase?

Yes inside the book case; it will be a full wall built in. Good point about hole for cables!
Did you pick any? 

Im looking for bookshelf speakers to be placed against the wall as well. 

You could try the ELAC OW4.2 - the tweeter sounds great though they definitely need a sub. I sent them back because of this. Currently breaking in a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 220’s.
