Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue

I could use some help with speaker recommendations-I am restricted to placement with speakers flanking a 6 foot built-in entertainment center and 1-2 feet from the back wall. Currently using Linn LP-12, PSE electronics, CAL Icon MK II. Want to start the upgrading process with floor-standing speakers, however, because of limited placement I don't want to waste money on Avalons or ProAc if I can't make them sing! Any speakers that can provide good sound in this setup? Budget is fairly open. thanks!

Dunlavy's need wide spacing and the listener to be seated some distance back from them to work best. This is true of ANY speaker with a large space between multiple drivers as they need time / distance to blend together and "focus". I do agree that a sealed box is the way to go.

You might want to check into some of NHT's designs, as they incorporate some of the technology learned while Acoustic Research was studying speaker / room interaction. I have NO idea as to if you'll like them or not, it is strictly a suggestion. Sean
