I'm going to be sitting on a couch up against the wall with end tables on each side. The speakers will be about 3-4 feet away from me.

Wouldn't sound from the bipoles be lost to that hallway that leads to the bedroom since there is no wall there to bounce off of?
Here are the surrounds and bookshelfs I am considering:
