Hi folks,

I am close to buying better monitors for studio, but I have a question about placement. My current monitors are basically bookend speakers that I mounted to the wall in the corner. My computer monitor is right between them. I put them on the wall at the best height for my ears to get the truest sound out of them I could. Keep in mind this is a budget studio. :)

So now I'm looking at a decent deal on some unpowered Event monitors But if I can avoid it, I don't want to go through the ordeal of mounting them on brackets, getting them level, and mounted on the wall. I'm hoping to move in the next year, so I I'd rather wait to get to my new house to mount anything permanently, if I have to at all.

My concern is the freq's carrying through the surface of whatever it is sitting on. I think they make pedestals to put speakers on. Do they work well? Or is there something else I can set them on? Am I not thinking right about this?

Any ideas or pointers in the right direction are appreciated. Thanks!
 
I have my powered monitors set about 2.5 feet away from the wall (behind them), and believe it or not, they are sitting on some old thick phone books..;) on top of my desk, with computer monitor between them...does the job....no rattling, no vibrating...
Cheers
