Choices for speaker 2' from back wall

Does it have to be either sealed or front ported?

Choices up to $3,500

I have a 1992 Yamaha pro-logic receiver (65 solid watts) driving a sealed Infinity early emit tweeter model (Reference 5)from a Marantz cd player and the highly acclaimed (for its time) Toshiba 9200. They give me a pleasant sound but I know what real music reproduction can sound like after hearing Focal speakers several years ago.

I just have not pulled the trigger on replacing everything at one time. Can my receiver get good music from a modern pair of speakers?

I haven't heard them, but the Von Schweikert VR33s are made to be positioned close the the back wall and seem to have very positive reviews. They are only available factory-direct from VS to save cost, and they are just a little over your target price if you can stretch.

Looking at the specs they seem relatively easy to drive so your receiver should be able to drive them. It'll probably sound much better than what you're currently hearing, but the VR33s will likely reward you with significantly better sound as you upgrade other components.

Best of luck.
