Best-front ported monitor speakers?


I need, unfortunatuley, to keep monitors I buy close to the rear wall. I know this will be far from ideal but the room set-up does allow for others (and allow me to stay married). Any ideas for what front-ported speakers would suffer the least... been considering Joseph Audio rm7 Spendor 2/3..Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same situation and went with Tyler Acoustic Tylos -- and am very happy. There are lots of reviews here if you're interested.

Von Schweikert VR-1s are closed boxes (except for a little pressure release "port" in back, but not realy a port) and are specifically designed to be placed close to a wall.

You could also consider Dyn Audio -- they are rear ported but come with plugs/filters which are designed to be used when speakers are placed close to wall.
