Looking for a monitor that likes walls


I have a small 11x13 listening area and am looking to move up from a pair of Polk RT25i. My system is a 50W tube integrated amp and I enjoy jazz, classical, light rock. I have been reading a good deal about Proacs and the Epos ES14's. Any comments on how these choices fare in limited space close to a wall? Any recommendations for alternatives?

I love my Polks too. I will use them in another room for sure. I heard a set of paradigm floor standers a while back and almost bought them until my budged intervened. I am curious about the recent posts on the GMA Europas, particularly a post that compared them to the Epos. I think they're front ported too. Any opinions on these besides the need for serious weight training to lift them?
Great advice so far. I like the idea of eliminating the port (either going port-less or plugging it) and adding a sub. I will look into this option further. Thanks.
