Bookshelf Speakers for In-Wall Book Shelf

Guys,

Any suggestions on some good bookshelf speakers for a really bad placement?

I have in-wall book shelves to the right and left of my TV in my living room that I would like to intall some good bookshelf speakers in. I assume a sealed enslosure would be best to help with the bass issues of the bookshelf. Integrated Amp is a Naim Nait 5si and I would like to keep the cost below $1500 if possible. I've been kicking around Dali, Dynaudio and Vandersteen.

Thanks in Advance.

I had the 5si. It was a bad match with Vandersteen. The best sound I was able to get, was with a pair of B&W LM-1's. You would probably have to get them used because I don't think they are still made. The Naim N-Sat was an OK match, but I don't think it will sound good in a shelf. I didn't have them both at the same time, but I suspect the Pioneer SP BS22's would be a good match as well.

I love my Dynaudios VR-1s sitting in the bookshelves driven by a Creek 5350SE. Just amazing how they disappear! They have a very wide and tall soundstage and surprising depth. If you can find them.....

The Creek is in a completely different league than the Naim. I had both of them.

New or used? Any LS3/5A type speaker should fit the bill ! The Spendor 3/5R2 goes for $1500 new,the older versions go for about $600 used. There is a pair of the Harbeth P3ESR listed here close to your budget. I've owned both and I think you would like them !
