Two speakers whose manufacturers' web sites show them on shelves are the Thiel SCS3 and the Wilson Duette. I haven't heard either of them, sorry, but both manufacturers have good reputations (if slightly controversial in Wilson's case). I would urge you to consider auditioning them yourself. Good luck.

I use them close to a rear wall with good results. I think they are better if not too close to side walls, though. The model is discontinued as a monitor, but there seem to be some available here and there. Vienna Acoustics Hayden Grand is also a front port design. I haven't listened to VA, so can't compare to the SF or comment on it more generally.
