Allison and Snell - Against the Wall

One previous trend that has vanished and I wish would re-appear is speakers designed specifically to go up against the wall.

Sometimes custom line arrays are made like this, but neither Snell nor Allison's approach required line arrays to work correctly.  Is there a brand out there now which has taken up these design ideas?

The new Vivid S12 is sort like an in wall speaker with the wall mounting device that is coming out.

The Wilson TuneTots go against the wall.

The speaker I want from my downstairs living room has to go very close to the wall (half foot). I have been told the KEF Reference 1 will work and even the large Yamaha NS5000. I am not sold on that yet but I have a huge room there so that may make a difference.

My dad had Allison 2 speakers for about 20 years. I think he still has them lying around his basement, though not in use.
