In Reply to: Record & CD shelving in listening room: built into walls, or not? posted by Jeff P. on January 25, 2006 at 09:02:50:
Jeff,> is there any reason why shelves built into the wall would be any better or worse than freestanding ones? <
If shelves are built in permanently you can't move them if you change your setup later. When I built my current house I prewired the walls with jack plates for the left and right speakers. A few years later I moved the speakers, and a few years after that I went 5.1 and moved them again. And I hadn't the foresight to run wires for rear surrounds either.
> Would the width of the room effectively reach to the back of the shelves, rather than the front? <
It depends on how many books there are and how fully they fill the shelves.
> In either case, would the first reflection points on the side walls be good or bad places for such shelves? <
Bad!
> I was also thinking about an in-wall equipment rack; what advantages or disadvantages would there be to that? <
Same disadvantage.
