These are small NHT M-00 powered speakers plus the S-20 subwoofer. Their size allows them to be placed on the bookshelves. And this way there aren&#8217;t large floor-standing speakers in the middle of the floor. Mallory can&#8217;t damage them, and they can&#8217;t damage Mallory!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly a different sounding system, but I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re giving up too much in quality. And I do plan on putting the RS6s back in service elsewhere, though maybe not immediately. I&#8217;m not sure we&#8217;ll see a return to floor-standing speakers in the living room any time soon (or not-so-soon), but the plan does include custom shelves on both sides of the fireplace.
