EEK I hope the OP did not hack his Alons.
Mission makes some bookshelf speakers that don't mind being back against the wall, but shoving speakers into a cabinet is a recipe for mediocre to bad sound. The vast majority of high end speakers, includiong Alons, ESPECIALLY dipoles (Alons = dipoles) are designed to be placed AWAY from walls...that also means cabinet walls.
If you're going to put speakers in cabinets either:
A) Don't spend the money on high end speakers as they'll sound mediocre at best. Buy something inexpensive at your local BB.
B) Look into the few (very few) speakers that are edsigned for or tolerate placement close to the wall.
