I overhauled my office last year, created a perfect triangle with bookcases opposite my desk, my chair/monitor dead center, primarily streaming Pandora music or YouTube video from PC.
bought a pair of bookcase speakers (no ports, shallow depth) to mix with my existing Velodyne Sub. I am extremely happy, added a TT and R2R in the system.
After research I decided to limit my search to models with 6-1/2" drivers, a bit more directional bass, then let the sub blend in.
I ordered two pairs, 1 for my shop, another 'better' for my office. I ended up using them opposite to that.
eBay, vintage B&W DM100i, horizontal on shelves ear level. (they say 6" piston size)

A crossover in the sub removes the low bass frequencies makes it easier for both the amp and the bookcase speakers to do a great job. The speakers will not be in a self-made cloud of bass blob.
