Help Select an True Bookshelf Speaker

My son loves his music, and TV, and is not what we would describe as an audiophile. We are in search of speakers that are actually made to sit on bookshelves. So many speakers are rear ported and would not work well. Who out there is using, or have heard, models that are suitable for shelves. Oh, he does not want to break the bank.

What is breaking the bank? These Vandersteens are made for shelf mounting!

Not that I am plugging in my listing...wink. I had these Sonus Faber Veneres on the shelf at one point and worked great. The slotted port is on the front of the speaker.

My B&W 805 Matrixes are front ported.  I do not know if the 805 Diamonds are still front ported.

Elac Debut 5.2 and 6.2 and Uni-fi 2.0, and Triangle Borea BR03 are all front ported, reasonably priced (some on sale now) and sound good on a shelf...I own or have owned all four...
