bookshelf speakers
Compact stereo drivers
Bookshelf speakers are compact audio speakers designed to fit on a shelf or stand rather than the floor.
Despite the name, placing them on actual bookshelves often compromises sound quality—they perform better on dedicated stands with room to breathe.
They typically come in pairs and offer better audio than built-in TV or computer speakers: I upgraded to bookshelf speakers for my vinyl setup.
