The Linn Kan's (LS 3/5 size) were design to work on the back wall. Cain & Cain is making a speaker called "The Wall Of Sound" that was made to be close to the back wall. It comes in three sizes. The one in the photo is the middle size. Around $4000. It's on the front page of their web.
Rear Ported Speakers, Backs to Wall?
I am looking for some floorstanding speakers to put in my dining room. Because the room is not very long in comparison to the table, the speakers will have to be placed with their backs near (possibly several inches away from) the wall.
My question is: how much of a problem would it be to use rear ported speakers in this case? I have been considering the rear ported Revel Concerta F12, which supposedly matches well with my NAD C372 amp. I do have a 15 band/channel eq if tweaking the bass region would help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
