Is it ok to place it on a bookshelf?! Other option is to put it on a floor? Which one is better?

Is it ok to place it on a bookshelf?! Other option is to put it on a floor? Which one is better?


From the user manual:

Trueplay tuning will adjust the sound for wherever you place Era 300, but for the speaker to project sound most effectively, here are a few guidelines:

  • Era 300 should be placed indoors and have approximately 2' (.61m) of overhead clearance for optimal sound quality. Placement in an enclosed space like a bookshelf is not recommended as this could impact dispersion and playback clarity.
  • If you are mounting Era 300 within 2' (.61m) of a ceiling, place it upside down for the best sound.
  • When Era 300 is placed next to a wall or on a shelf, leave at least 1" (2.5cm) clearance in back and 8” (20.32cm) on each side of the speaker.


 

A wall mount or on stands would be better than bookshelf or floor, I suspect.
