Speakers that work in a medium room to match Krell


Looking for speakers that can work within 10-12 inches from the back wall, my listening area is around 12'W x 22'L x 9'H. I listen around 80% to jazz/vocal and 20% to both pop and classic, in a moderate volume levels.

I prefer focused detailed presentation, without an upper midrange glare and boomy bass, on a soft, smooth and warm presentation.

The rest of my system is Krell FPB 400 amp + KPS 25Sc preamp/CDP and Transparent RXL-MM/Cast cables.

My preferences so far are as follows (not in a special order):

+ Avalon- Opus Ceramique
+ Dynaudio- Confidence C2
+ Wilson benesch- A.C.T
+ Wilson- Sophia
Monitors like: JMlab- micro utopia Be, Dynaudio- C1, SF- Guarneri plus Revel- B15

Which one of the speakers can work close to the back wall and match best to my room and the Krell's?

Thanks for your ideas and suggestion.

My armchair quarterback reply would be the Wilson Sophias. But if it were me, I'd look at something like a Vandersteen 3A Sig (or it's replacement). Or of it really was me, I'd look at a pair of Magnepan 3.6/R or 20.1 (push/pull) and pull then out 52 inches into the room (which you cannot do).
