Speakers for Near Wall Placement

For those who don't have the luxury to bring speakers 3 feet out into the room, what is the best speaker that can be placed near/up to a wall?

The back of the speakers are only 13 inches from the wall and they still sounded great. I talked to Mike McFarland of Talon (a great guy) and he indicated that his speakers are designed to perform optimally even in a relatively small room. The same goes for the Khoruses as well.

They are discontinued but come up from time to time. Try Eaudionet.com.. Also check out the reviews on Audioreview site. These are meant to be placed close to a wall and really sound fine. john c
