bookshelf in a bookshelf?

Hey everyone,

I picked up a new pair of paradigm atoms and was planning on wall-mounting them until yesterday. I changed my mind where to put them and now I would rather not wall mount them.

I thought I read somewhere once that bookshelves provide excellent sonics for.. bookshelf speakers. Given I would have the back of the bookshelf open and a couple feet from the back wall, I am wondering if this would indeed be a good way to go. It would actually be cheaper than stands and a couple bookshelves would be nice at my sited location as well...

Thanks for the input.
