First thing you have to hear the speakers yourself. What price range are you considering? Check out the Scansonic MB 3.5's. They are about 5" taller but about 2" narrower. Just make sure if you do hear them that are broken in. They don't sound all that great out of the box. After 250-350 hrs you would never think they are the same speakers. Being bottom ported they can be placed close to the walls. They will sound the best if positioned about 9' apart and pointed at your shoulders.
Good luck
