I went with a pair of NHT SuperOne xu speakers in our master bedroom to maximize floor space. They're designed for wall-mounting and came with brackets. I've read some complaints about lack of bass and aggressive highs, but I haven't experienced this. I think they have tight bass and smooth, open highs. I drive them with a NAD C340 integrated which is supposed to have a little more energy in the lower frequencies so maybe it's synergy. Anyhow, the NHTs have sealed enclosures so you don't have to worry about a port being too close to a wall. I'm not sure if NHT's current lineup includes anything similar. Another line you might try is the Polk RTi series like the 28, 38 or their most recent version (recently reviewed in Stereophile). These are front ported and I believe come with threaded holes for wall-mounting. They sound better than you might think but may be a little aggressive up top for classical.

BTW, a bed-ridden individual may appreciate a universal remote more than anything. When I listen or watch a dvd in bed I have to bring the remote caddy with me - cable remote, tv remote, dvd remote, cdp remote, amp remote and the list goes on. Some components like my cdp and amp can't be turned on by remote. Sounds like a worthwhile project. Good luck.
