Real Bookshelf Speakers, I encourage you to get a pair of Acoustic Research AR-2ax’s.
3 way: tweeter, mid, 10" woofer 11.5" deep x 13-3/4" x 24", no ports, level controls for tweeter and mid.
I got a pair for my garage/shop system, restored them, so darn good I put them in my office, and restored a 2nd pair for my garage/shop system.
parts and knowledge aplenty, find local to avoid shipping, find restored, restore yourself,
I used UPS pack and ship to get my second pair from a ’local pickup only’ seller.
I tried a few modern speakers in my office with 6-1/2" woofers, added a single sub, just enough to keep them from sounding small, but the 3 way with a 10" woofer is far better, no sub needed. Having level controls makes sense anywhere, it certainly helps with speakers in cabinets, particularly for me with one speaker nearer a side wall.
