I'm decorating and re-jigging my home studio at the moment. Yamaha amp is in the shop for service and repair. Previously had my Celestions on some custom made (80x30cm) floating shelves behind the desk but I fucked up the height, putting them too high for decent seated monitoring.
The shelves weren't solid enough for my liking anyway plus the fittings weren't man-enough and started to droop so the speakers ended up back on the desk which wasn't ideal either. Have hit upon the solution of some really chunky heavy-duty brackets and re-fitting them at a good seated ear-level. I've bought foam studio monitor pads to go under them, they sit in landscape so 2 pads under each. I've also bought a roll of double-sided foam tape which i'm going to fit between the shelf and brackets and the brackets and the wall.

That should do it!
