You Mentioned reflections. I like the idea of the Revel M126 with matching stands. They are really good with reflection due to the tweeter 5th gen wave guide, they have some very nice finishes, and they sound good with the Hegel series.
Another option is the KEF R3 or R3 meta with a Nordost Heimdall speaker cable. It good for reflection, great for off axis, and it comes in nice finishes.
last would be the Dali Minuet SE. it can be mounted on the wall, put on a shelf, or on a stand because it was designed to be within 8” off the wall do to the 45 degree angle port design. It only comes in burned walnut. It basically a Dali Micro KORE. I would use a speaker cable without silver. I would even try the $40 Micca speaker cables on Amazon. Yes I own/ use them on my second system.
I know these are common brands but I have actually had experience with these combos. I hope his helped out today.
Help with high end bookshelf speakers
I need help please. Past few years I'm gone through a myriad of speakers and now my wife is relegating me to a third bedroom for a dedicated listing space. I'm trying to figure out what kind of bookshelf speakers I can use with a Hegel 390, Auralic, Denafrips DAC in an 11x12 room. Trying to decide if I need to change my whole system or find something that works with what I have.
Thanks everyone
