Secure bookshelf speakers by placing them on bookshelf speaker stands or mounting them on a wall bracket. Bookshelf speakers aren’t meant for placing on a shelf close to a wall. This placement can detract from their sound quality and cause unpleasant reverberation.
The preferred option to secure your bookshelf speakers is to attach them to stands. Ways to do this can differ depending upon the type of speakers you have. Some brands come with brackets to form a secure fit. Another option is to screw a bolt from the top stand plate into the speaker’s bottom threading.
An easier solution is to use Blu-tack or other adhesive putty to hold the speaker solidly in place. Massage the putty until it becomes pliable. Roll it up and place it on the stand’s top plate. Press the speaker down into it firmly and hold for a minute. The adhesive putty will go back to its rigidness and lock the speaker in place.
If stands don’t work for the space you have available; you can still secure them on the wall. Use a heavy-duty wall bracket or mount based on the size of your speakers.
