Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue

I could use some help with speaker recommendations-I am restricted to placement with speakers flanking a 6 foot built-in entertainment center and 1-2 feet from the back wall. Currently using Linn LP-12, PSE electronics, CAL Icon MK II. Want to start the upgrading process with floor-standing speakers, however, because of limited placement I don't want to waste money on Avalons or ProAc if I can't make them sing! Any speakers that can provide good sound in this setup? Budget is fairly open. thanks!

If you have a chance, it would be worth your time to include
the Vandersteen 1C or 2Ce/signature in your group.

The Vandersteens do better than most under less than ideal
placement situations....and are quite amplifier friendly.

Vandies always seem to get your feet tappin'....

Tim/Soix makes a good point about the Vandersteen's. I have
been a dipole person, Martin Logan & Magnepan..and have,
mostly used Thiel's for dynamic speakers...and all of these
are very placement critical...so the Vandersteen's seemed
simple by comparison..so, guess it is like the great Jazz
standard says..."Compared to What?"
