A sealed design may be the best way to go (if you can find one you like), and if you must place the speakers that close to the wall. If you go with a ported design...I'd go front port.

Rear Ported versus Non Rear Ported floor standing
I have a space limitation in our room which means that the speakers can only be placed a max of 6-8" from the rear wall. Does this mean that I need to stay away from rear ported speakers because they all have diminished sound because of the base or will all speakers have the same result . Any recommendations would be appreciated. Have heard at audio shop SF grand piano all off the rear wall, Spendors (rear ported) & Focal Chorus ( not rear ported).
