I feel that there is a better choice than the speakers listed in the prior posts. There is a speaker that is made by Northcreek with this exact scenario in mind.( This particular speaker was designed to sound great when placed very close to walls and boundries). Apparently, it took him almost two years of voicing this speaker to get the sound right, in this type of placement!. The NHT 3.3 also works extremely well, but they are not really next to the wall, having cabinets almost three feet deep. If this 3 feet of "closeness" to the wall is acceptable to you, i would definately recommend the NHT's first, but if you are looking for a true "next to the wall" speaker, the Northcreek is hard to beat.
