Bookshelf Speakers; Ported vs. Acoustic Suspension

I am building a new home and will have built-in bookshelves on one wall of a 15' x 12' room. I am planning on bookshelf speakers on either side of a 50" TV which has an opening of 60" W x 36" H x 24" D. I was thinking of purchasing ported design speakers (Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus) but was concerned about a ported design with only 15" of space between each speaker and the rear wall of the cabinet. Any experience here? Would I be better off with an Acoustic Suspension Design (NHT Classic 3)?

USing the sub will definitely help address any concerns regarding low end extension.

Putting any speaker on a shelf close to the wall will pretty much always limit imaging and soundstage, if those are things you care about. Not much can be done about that.
