Budget speakers for near-wall positioning


Looking for speakers around the $500 mark for an office system. They would have to be placed close to the wall. Wharefdale Dentons look great and are now heavily discounted, but are rear ported. The Wharfedale Diamond 225s are cheaper but at least front ported. Anything else in that price range I should consider? I don’t know of any acoustic suspension designs in that price range.

The B&W 685 work well close to wall. A used pair would be under your budget. 
A used pair of Guru Jr speakers will fit right in your budget. They are amazing bookshelves and allow for flexible placement to the front wall
