Decent Bookshelf Speakers ?


Whould anyone care to suggest bookshelf style speakers for a second system? I just don't have the room to place them away from the wall.
I listen to chamber music, choral, sacred, solo.
I whould be using them along the long wall, about 7-8 feet from my seat. The room is about 11 feet wide.
They don't have to be tiny, up to 18" is fine.
They don't have to be cheap, but I don't mind a bargain, new or used.
Electronics are a 75w NAD receiver and a Harman Kardon CDP.

The main issue is they must fit on my bookshelf.

About a month ago I was in your exact position. I was setting up a bedroom system with dimensions very similar to yours. Like you, I am using a nad 7175pe 75w receiver with a basic Integra cd player. I found a used pair of Dynaudio Audience 42's on Audiogon for a very reasonable price. They are rear ported. I too, have to place them clost to a wall. I rolled up a sock and inserted it in each one. They plugs did not come with them. The socks work fine. The 42's still have a rich low end this way. They sound great. I listen mostly to classical and various piano, along with the local public radio.
