Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. Zu Audio Dirty Weekend X

If you are destined to place the speakers against a back wall and laid sideways I am curious how you selected the Zu/Mofi as primary contenders?

There are some speakers that perform well stuck in a shelf as you describe.

My friend Eric at Gig Harbor Audio makes one for about $1,000/pair.

AudioNote Speakers usually perform well against walls. Too Big though.

Some Klipsch Heritage can do the same although likely too big for you.

Dali Menuete 2 is another that may fit. $1,600

Andrew's latest MoFi 8 sounded amazing at Axpona. He knows how's to maximize the rooms. I find that to be a great speaker for $3k. 

Have not heard the new ZU but am anxious to hear it.

The Fritz Carerra 7 BE at $3,500?  Beat them all but in your setting I could not say.

I heard the Zu DWX speakers at Axpona being used to reveal differences in Audioquest cables which they did a good job of so in terms of detail and soundstage they were very good.  However, I had the Zu Dirty Weekend floorstanders and felt they were very thin and uninvolving.  I haven't heard the Sourcepoint 8's yet but the Sourcepoint 10's are a great speaker for my tastes.  My guess is those two speakers will sound quite different and you would need to hear them for yourself to really know which you prefer.

Guru QM 10. Made for that kind of situation. Great speakers! I see some used for sale for around $500.  Very room filling sound and you will get great bass up against the wall. 

I have no personal experience with the following suggestion, but was looking at these speakers for a similar situation as yours within our office. My thought was to put them sideways within on our bookcase.
