I have a very similar set up and placement limitations -bookshelf speakers on the cabinet, fairly close to wall. I have two recommendations that work for me. Proac tablet 10 which are sealed speakers, and Wharfdale 220 or 225 which are extremely good value with down firing ports. Both of these work great on the cabinet even 6 inches from the wall. I put mine on acoustic pads as well. I own both speakers.
other speakers have not worked with this placement in my experience.
proacs have better bass than the Wharfedale but much more $
