Thanks for the advice. In another setup I have Totem Arros which I love. But I have the impression that those Totem model 1s do not want to right up against the wall

Polk LSi7 vs Monitor Audio Bronze BR2
I'm looking for a 2-way system to put in a bookshelf for secondary music listening (kitchen/dining room).
Lots of constraints: must be in the bookshelf and no deeper than 11", and no higher than 14.25". No room for maneuver so must be front-ported, I think. No sub. Power is either second zone of a Sony ES 120 amp/channel receiver (supposedly OK for 4 ohm speakers) or an NAD315bee.
So, I've narrowed it down to a few that fit those requirements (the LSi7 is has rear ports, but it has a plate on the back that directs the port air to the sides, I guess to faciliate wall-mounting. The Wharfedale 8.2 is a hair too tall. B&W 601s2 would be good, but it is more money and also reportedly goes down substantlly less deep than either of the above).
I can get the above two for roughly the same price. I can't listen to either. I need to pull the trigger in the next couple of days.
What do you think?
