What you probably don't want is anything that needs to be away from the wall to sound good because the speaks would then be in the way. This could be a problem with true omnis in this application in that they typically require some distance from walls to sound their best. Rear ported designs are also probably right out. Front ported designs would be better.
Check out my system and you'll see I use a pair of refurbished Ohm Ls from the 70's (front ported) in my basement with my ping pong table. These sound fabulous for rock and jazz...great party speakers.
You might pick up a similar professionally refurbished pair from Ohm Acoustics (www.ohmspeakers.com) for under $500 which would be a nice score! Even better might be a pair of larger Ohm H's (under $1000) if available and enough floor space is available.
