Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?


In the old days there was Allison, who designed great floorstanders to work perfectly against a wall. I need a modern equivalent of Allison Ones, to stand against a wall and fill a large room. I know that North Creek Kitty Kat Revelators are designed for this purpose, but I need something larger to fill a larger space than a small monitor would do, as well as providing bigger bass output. I need speakers that are specifically designed this way, though, not full-range speakers that "can work somewhat" close to a wall, and invariably fall short in the soundstaging department. Suggestions, please?

Linns or Khorns if you have suitable corners.

Various front-ported Triangle models would be a solid choice.

Also Shindo maybe?
I've read that Blue Circle is preparing to launch a model called the "Penny" which is a compact floor stander designed to be able to go close to the rear wall. It uses an OHM Walsh driver for wide dispersion in the midrange and is supplemented by conventional drivers in the low end.

Haven't heard it yet but most intriguing design for near wall application from a very well respected company.
