Most bookshelf speakers deliver audio delivery to fill up a room compared to portable Bluetooth speakers. It stands true if you use the top-of-the-line speakers. Compared to their portable counterparts, bookshelf speakers have a bigger footprint. So if you can’t adjust them on your desk (or on an actual bookshelf), you can fix them on a wall mount or a floor stand.
Besides letting you have more space on your desk, these mounts let you have the flexibility of moving the speakers in the direction of your choice. When it comes to audio delivery, we all know how direction and placement are important.

3. VideoSecu Adjustable Height Speaker Stands
Base dimensions: Up to 5.5-inch
The VideoSecu speaker stand is designed for smaller speakers like the Presonus Eris E3.5-3.5. They cost a lot less than the ones above and do a decent job holding lightweight and small speakers. You can adjust the height and the base of this stand. For now, the base can sit speakers that have a width between 5.5-inch and 11-inch.
This stand is equipped with side clamps to lock the speakers in place. Besides that, the padding prevents scratches and scuff marks. Again, there is nifty cable management in place. However, some people have complained of the cable holes being too small.
While the VideoSecu speaker stand has received some rave reviews for its easy assembly and build, it is top-heavy and can wobble if you have hefty speakers.
4. Pyle Speaker Wall Mount
Base dimensions: Up to 10-inch
If having a wall mount is your idea of a perfect setup, trust the Pyle mount to take care of it. These are simple wall brackets. These brackets do not have dedicated mounts to hold the speakers in place and instead, relies on the built-in silicon pads. That said, this a heavy-duty mount that can easily hold the weight of standard bookshelf speakers.
Surprisingly, you can extend the arm away from the wall by around 11.8 inches.
As we noted above, these are simple mounts and do not have the flexibility to adjust the angle of the speakers. Moreover, a single mount can house only one speaker. Naturally, buying a second mount shoots up the overall cost.
Nevertheless, they have attracted several positive reviews, with people appreciating its durability and sturdiness.
Alternatively, you can check out the Wali dual speaker wall mount brackets if you are looking for dedicated mounts with keyhole inserts.
5. Mount-It! Speaker Wall Mounts

Naturally, this allows you to customize the direction as per the occasion. It can fit speakers with widths between 5.4-inch and 11-inch, making it fit for passive speakers such as the Polk Audio T15.

Base dimensions: 5.3-inches to 11-inches
If you are looking for an affordable wall mount for your speakers, VideoSecu’s wall mounts can prove to be a good pick. Despite the low price tag, they bundle several features like the ball adjustment that lets you tweak the angle and change the height of the speakers. Besides that, the adjustable side-clamps let you fit a wide array of bookshelf speakers. Like the one above, it’s also made of steel and has a remarkable build for the price.
The best part is that the clamp holds tightly to the speakers. So it won’t let the speaker fall even if you change the angle a bit.
Installation is plain and simple. But, the weight of the overall product makes it unsuitable to be mounted on drywall.
Mount Them Already
Today, bookshelf speakers have several input connectors, and you can pair them with anything—right from a turntable to a new-age digital TV. So getting a proper and stable mount can keep them intact in a spot. That way you can enjoy the best audio quality from them, without worrying about the space they consume.
