There was a thread earlier this week regarding how to achieve decent sound with speakers located on bookshelves inside an enclosed piece of furniture (thread #1102390084). From an earlier thread, I see where you may be doing much the same thing with your set-up. Given that, you should be focusing on acoustic suspension/sealed box design speakers primarily or front ported speakers, at the very least. I believe that you should not spend top dollar either, as there are sufficient compromises inherent with this type of set-up.
Acoustic suspension speakers tend to be inefficient (85db sensitivity) and therefore, you will need a receiver with good reserves of power. Without knowing your budget, you may want to look at the Music Hall Maven . If you can wait a few months, Outlaw Audio will be coming out with a 2 channel receiver in the early Spring. I spoke with the company president and it is supposed to be a real sweet receiver. I have not heard the Arcam 2 channel or HT receiver, but they are very well regarded.
As for the speakers, I have had excellent success with NHT and Omega speakers (think Omega Grande 6) with both near wall and inside bookcase placement.
