My Focal 836v speakers sound great to me up against the wall. I like the increase in bass compared to what I heard in the store well away from the walls. The soundstage isn't quite the same, but I'm fairly locked in with possible locations. Mine are about a CD length from the wall so much closer than yours. I can't imagine anyone complaining about the bass in their current location. One is near a corner. The front and bottom ports seem to work well. Ironically, they are $3,000 retail price so almost exactly right.
speakers close to the back wall ?
The back of my rear ported floor standing speakers are one foot from the back wall and can get boomy in the port frequencies. I can`t move them further out into the room so I`m looking for a speaker that works well close to the wall at around 3000 dollars.
