You'll want a speaker that has a tight, somewhat lean bass response. Putting the speaker close to the wall will bring up the bass level. If the speaker is ported you'd probably want a front ported speaker. My Sapphire III LEs would work pretty well here because they have a tight, lean bass. Some Linn models are suppose to be good for this placement as well.
Monitors Mounted On Wall
If you had to mount really good monitor speakers on a wall what speaker would you select and how would you mount it. I have a bedroom setup where I am using a 100 wpc into 8 ohms 5 channel amp to run a surround system. I have no choice but to hang the main speakers on the wall. Don't tell me how I losing the best of the speakers by doing this I already know. No choice. I am interested in the groups input as to what speakers would work best in this application. Price is flexible. I would be will to use a more high end monitor such as a Revel M20 if it wasn't a waste under the circumstances.
