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.  

Equipment:
Modwright 150 SE 
Dali MS-4
Rel 528 Qty 2

Room 15 w open wall  and 17 L

If you don't mind vintage, get a pair of Yamaha NS-2000. 3-way acoustic suspended speaker, no ports. You will not be disappointed and you'll save some coin to boot

Thanks Yetti & Elrod.  I will explore those options. It would be interesting to see how much scale & depth I might be missing out on.

The ports have nothing to do with it, other than contolling volume and efficiency.  The bass wavelengths are longer than your room.
I would advise moving your subs around until you get a balanced bass response with the least room resonance.  You should get good results with two subs (it can be done with one, but you will limit your listening positions).

The subs need to go against the back wall too.  Any idea if they would be more effective lined inside the speakers or outside the speakers?
