monitor speaker for near-wall placement?

I own a pair of Krix Equinox speakers and am very pleased with them -- $600 new, or $350 or so used. Like any mini-monitor, they don't reproduce deep bass, but they do a fine job with the rest of the audio spectrum. They work well when placed fairly close to the wall, although they do need a bit of clearance since they have a rear port.

Gotta have B&W? Just like the movie "Traffic." 601 serII have front port. Good resale value to traffickers.

The Castle Richmond that replaced the Isis is a great sounding mini-monitor that can be placed close to wall. The mid-range is as good as any monitor under $2K. Vocals are spectacular. They are also nice looking (Spouse friendly) cabinets in natural cherry finish. Listed at $499, saw a demo listed at $310. A steal!

Doug: Just make sure they don't have a rear port. I have a pair of Celestion 100's which are a sealed cabinet & do well near the rear wall.
