Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall?


I currently have rear ported floor standing speakers (Dali Euphonia MS-4) against the wall due to no other room options.  Are these speakers feasible?   I also have 2 Rel 528s along side each speaker.  I am looking at replacing the speakers.  I also have 2” acoustic treatment w 2” brackets behind the speakers.  Any speaker suggestions in the the 5-7k range (used) welcomed.

As mentioned the Vortex by Von Schweikert are designed for that.

The older NHT 2.5, 2.9, and 3.3 (which is a damn fine speaker) are also designed to be up against a wall.  

If you can find some 3.3's... you could do a lot worse.  Absolutely zero issues because of the wall coupling. They are designed for that.

There is someone out there that makes foam strips also for the fronts.
