Yes, bookshelf speakers can be an excellent choice for listening to music. While smaller in size compared to floor-standing or tower speakers, the best bookshelf speakers can produce full-range sound that covers the majority of the frequency spectrum for music. If you like hip-hop, EDM, pipe organ or other styles of music with heavy bass tracks, you may consider adding a subwoofer to reinforce the low frequencies. As their name implies, bookshelf speakers are designed to be placed on bookshelves, speaker stands, AV cabinets or other elevated surfaces, which helps to optimize their sound dispersion and imaging.
