Bookshelf speakers

[fatman]

Having read the group test in today's magazine, can you advise which of these speakers are best suited to positoning on a bookshelf? ie. requiring very little room behind the speaker.....

My room is 12'x12' and I have 15" recessed shelving on the front wall. The speakers would sit 5' apart.

I am assuming any of the speakers with front firing bass port(s)?

As the speakers on test were 'budget', can you suggest a speaker from the next band up with the same requirement - positioned in tight corners.

Try some AVI Neutron IVs they will blow you away

Thanks for suggestion, those Neutron's do look nice.. Can someone please tell me if I am going to place speakers on shelving am I advised to go for front firing ports?

Along with previous post, can anyone comment on the Monitor BRs / RS1 placed on shelving?

Would be a crying shame to spend the hard earned on speakers and not do them justice.
