In Europe we generally have smaller rooms than in the US so many of our European speakers are designed for close-to-wall placement. One of the best higher end for being up against the wall are the B&W 804D floorstanders. They are medium sensitivity at 89dB.
Speakers good for close to wall placement
There are quite a few speakers I would like to purchase, but I need to be realistic. I will need to find some speakers that perform well when placed close to the rear wall. After that choice I can move on to selecting the proper integrated amp to drive them. Any suggestions on which speakers work well near the rear wall?
