Bookshelf Speaker

A compact two-way speaker for stands or shelves.

A bookshelf speaker is a compact cabinet, usually a woofer plus a tweeter, sized for stands, desks or shelves. They image sharply and fit real rooms; the trade-off is limited deep bass, often filled by a small subwoofer. The vinyl mainstream lives here.
