I didn't see a Revel or KEF that really seemed to fit my bill.

They need to fit on a high shelf to clear garage stuff and I'd like to run without a subwoofer so looking for good bass in a bookshelf size (under 28" tall) speaker.

I'd like them to be somewhat vintage looking, not that my garage has anything esthetically going for it.

You can see my current right speaker above the Cayman windshield and I'm looking to keep speakers on the same shelves.

I think you can scratch the JBL L100 from your list if you plan to power then with that Onkyo TX8470, speaker rated 4 Ohm TX8470 rated lowest of 6 Ohm, likely to run hot. You should consider the garage space will likely sound pretty reflective, most speakers are voiced for regular home interior with some absorption from soft materials, so a really good speaker likely won't sound as good as it could in a slightly dampened room.
