Well i have these and I need a place to put them. I don't believe they will fit on my desk. I was thinking of maybe mounting them on my wall?

If you mounted them on the wall to get the positioning right you'd
have to have one of them in the middle of that window to the right.
ends of the desk pointing at your seating position at ear level. i dont think wall mounting would work well there. and is that the amp for your cans? it looks tight.
tricky tricky
put them on your desk. set them on top of a pair of Auralex Mopads so you can angle them for correct positioning.

I like his idea, I don't think that putting them on the edge of the desk pointing at each ear would sound too good. Probably would have horrible imaging and soundstage. In front of you on the desk, even though very close seems like the best solution. One by the front of the computer and the other somewhere to the side of the monitor.

Yea but where, If you notice The don't fit under the moniter and if i "attempt" to put them on the side, they would be sitting on that grey dark bar and wouldnt sit flat.


Edit: unless i put them on their sides....hmm

Nooo don't put them on their sides.
only thing i can think of doing is trying to get a wall mount
that will fit the frame work of your window.

Or build little stand offs for them.

If they have a rear port, it's a bad idea to place them straight on a desk. Typically, it has to be 1' out from any rear walls and 2'-3' out from a side wall.

Yea they do, Should I just mount one say above the right window and the other at the frame of the window sill closest to the mask?

Like so

It's best to mount the monitors at te level where the space between the tweeter and the woofer lines up with your ear.
yeah shizdan, maybe place the tower on the floor, and rearrange the desktop setup... but the sketch will not work with those high mounting positions, rearrange the desk and do as Soloz says, with the mopads... it'll be the best solution.
it depends on whether or not the monitors were designed to be stand-mounted or desk mounted in the first place...some don't like the diffraction they get from the desk, some do.

it's a crappy picture, but you get the idea.

Auralex Mopads... or the new speakerdudes as you pointed out. I might have to pick up some speakerdudes for my center channel!
