Sorry for shouting in the title, but this point is probably more important than which equipment you choose. You stated: "By the way, I don't have floor space for speakers so I am restricted to wall mount or bookshelf speakers." Placing speakers on bookshelves will majorly color the sound! It usually produces a lower midrange emphasis and completely destroys imaging qualities. Most of us place "bookshelf speakers" on dedicated stands of optimal height, which frequently results in taking up as much floor space as a floorstanding speaker. Your best speaker placement to optimize imaging and minimize bass overemphasis is several feet (or frequently more) from the wall behind the speakers. Do all you can reasonably do to accommodate for this. If this is not possible, your next best option is to wall mount them and choose speakers designed for such placement. You will not enjoy image depth (soundstage), but can still have good latteral imaging and pleasing overall sound, but it will not be as good as allowing for dedicated speaker floor space.
