Got my Swan M10's

[Fulminated]

So I got my swan m10s in the other day and got them hooked up with the new sound card I ordered.

Overall, I'm very impressed with the sound playing music and movies. I'm not much of a gamer, so i haven't given them a run through half life yet.

Anyway...I have another quandry. Right now, the speakers are sitting right on the desk, but that takes up alot of space. As I understand it, the speakers work best when they're aimed at you. So, would it be wise to build a shelf for all three to sit on and angle them down so they're still point at me?

do you have room on either side of the desk? If so.. you could do what I did with my studio monitors on my old rig. congrats on the speakers btw.

you can angle them upwards from your desk or downwards from a shelf.

apparently, they also help noticeably with absorbing vibration from the speakers themselves which would otherwise resonate through the wood or glass from your desk/shelves.
