Recommended Speaker Design for Corner / Near-Wall Placement?


Hi all, hoping to learn from your experiences.  My listening space is living room/kitchen (10x15) in a small apartment. Due to kitchen counter, speaker placement is along 7 ft front wall pointing towards living room sofa, with room corner and kitchen counter "corner" as the boundaries. 

Looking for speaker options that can go near wall/corner and perform well.  Have looked into Audio Note, Zu Audio, Klipsch horns, Tribe On-Wall, Ohm Acoustics, etc. Started with Dynaudio bookshelves + dual subs placed on either side of small kitchen table about 5.5' apart. 50/50 music/movies.  I understand I may not get great imaging given my sofa position of 10-12 feet back from speakers 5-6 feet apart, but I can always move closer for listening. Thanks!

Any LS3/5A designed type speaker ( two way sealed ) will work. Spendor, Harbeth, Stirling, Falcon, etc. make many modern versions of this type of speaker!

I was suggesting the modern versions of the LS3/5A. I own the Harbeth P3ESR and The Spendor A1s. Both are placed about a foot from the rear wall of my listening room with great results!

I own both Harbeth and Spendors and they have no problem placed close to a rear wall.

Spendor A1

Specification. The compact Spendor A1. Perfect for small rooms and ideal for use close to the rear wall. Spendor’s new A-Line loudspeakers prove that you don’t need a big space, or budget, to enjoy dynamic, open and exhilarating sound.
