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.

front ported sounds like the way to go, I love my Joseph Audio RM7si's

Tyler Acoustics makes a few bookshelf speakers that are front ported. If you have the extra cash there is the Ultimate Monitor which is a sealed design. You can come down in price to the Escalante designs speakers. Usher Audio makes some fine monitors which have upgrades available if you like to tweak.

Mackies are active studio monitors you may get in some of pro audio stores or musicfriend.com for arround $600 per pair.
The only downside is that you have to be more closer to these speakers probably by one more foot.

Is there any reason not to go with Aerial 5b's?
They are un-ported.
