Smallish floorstander that sounds good placed just


in front of the wall behind them. They must be placed about 6 inches from the wall behind them. Looking for the speaker to have a smaller footprint also. Totem Arro is one speaker that comes to mind - any others I can consider? They can be bigger then the Arro also.

Will want to drive them with a 70-80 watt Peachtree Nova in a second system.

Rega R3s or RS3s are often recommended for near-wall placement. I had R1s, which were great. The RS3s have side-firing woofers, which can point either in or out, so they either need nothing between them (for inward-firing placement) or some space to the sides (for outward-firing).

Silverline Preludes might also be a good possibility. I had Minuets, which are excellent speakers and not fussy about placement. I imagine that the Preludes would work well six inches from the wall.
The Arros are a good choice - they also can be "tuned" to an extent by varying the amount of mass loading (zero to 20 pounds per cabinet).
