Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD

No room for stands; rear wall is very close, less than 6 inches. Shelf (it’s actually a sideboard) height is 36" inches from floor to shelf.

Any thoughts on monitors/bookshelf speakers that sound good in these sorts of applications?

Or IsoAcoustics pucks if space is even tighter. I had them before and the improvement, compared to putting the speakers directly on the console, was noticeable.

Another vote for Tetra 120u. My first decent speakers. Sound great on stands, great on maple plinths on the floor, and I currently have them on their sides on a shelf.  Stands sound best but very good sound on a shelf.

A pair of Totem Signature One’s will work wonders!! This speaker has been in production for decades. For a reason.

Also, EPOS makes speakers that work very well in tight spaces.
