What speaker for being close to rear wall?


I'm looking for a speaker that would excel, not just tolerate, being near the rear wall. It needs to be within 12 inches. Don't worry about cost. Also I recently tried Audio Notes so you can leave those off the suggestion list.I don't have symmetrical defined corners. :(

Thanks!

Anthony Gallo Stradas are designed to be within a foot of the wall. I use the A'divas in my office as they are 6" off the wall, and everything else sounded too boomy.
While I agree in theory that non-ported work well close to a wall...it doesn't always work in practice. I was using Mirage OMD-5s at my desk, which are acoustically sealed, and they don't sound good unless away from the walls. Way too much bass reinforcement. I'm assuming it is because of the omni sound dispersion bouncing off the walls and reinforcing. That's why I'm using Gallo A'Divas for the moment. They need the reinforcement.

I'm thinking about trying some Paradigm Signature S1s and see how they fare. Couldn't agree more on rear port...that by a wall is uber bad. :-)
