Wouldn't they sound too "boomy" up against a wall?

BIC America DV62SI. Look it up on www.audioreview.com -- it's in the top 3 rated bookshelf and you can get the pair for about $110 shipped from Link Removed
Later, to really make them rock, you can get the crossover modifications done that are discussed on AudioReview.com

Audio review has to be taken with a grain of salt, since these are customer reviews, and are based on the number of people who review a given product, and their personal opinion - which often has no basis for comparison, nor are they professional reviews. I often read the reviews to see what people actually say, but I don't put much faith in the overall rating of a product. Also notice that it is fairly difficult to find a BAD review of a product on there...because people typically perceive what they purchase to be very good, unless they have a problem.
With a very decent sub like the Yamahas, the N24s should do fine, since size is a concern.

I agree, but if products have a sufficient number of ratings, they still can be a useful tool in comparing similar products. (i.e., even if the average consumer rates products too high, you can still get a sense of relative ratings across products.)
DV62SI -- 4.88 / 5.0 with 16 reviews

I'm seriously considering sticking with the Koss M/80+'s and just getting the yamaha sub. I have them hooked up with my receiver now and they sound very good.

nOrh 3.0s (used to own a pair) sound pretty good and go for $150 delivered. However, they won't do much below 75Hz. Then again, they do not claim to either.
