Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD


No room for stands; rear wall is very close, less than 6 inches. Shelf (it’s actually a sideboard) height is 36" inches from floor to shelf.

Any thoughts on monitors/bookshelf speakers that sound good in these sorts of applications?

Regardless of what speaker you get, if you're not going to put them on dedicated stands, try the IsoAcoustic stands. It's the next best thing. 
Or IsoAcoustics pucks if space is even tighter. I had them before and the improvement, compared to putting the speakers directly on the console, was noticeable. 
Another vote for Tetra 120u. My first decent speakers. Sound great on stands, great on maple plinths on the floor, and I currently have them on their sides on a shelf.  Stands sound best but very good sound on a shelf.
