Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE


I currently own a pair of Dynaudio 1.3 SE's. They sound great on most of the material I listen to. My problem is I can only place them about two feet(measuring from the front of the speaker)from the rear wall. On material with moderate to heavy bass I get too much boominess. I have been looking at some front ported speakers such as the Tyler Reference monitors. Would the Tylers be in the same league as the Dynaudio's? Any other suggestions? I can spend around $1500-2000 used or new. Thanks.

Goatwuss, yes, I've stuffed the ports but it seems to take some life out of the speakers. I used to own the Dynaudio 72's and while I liked them, they are not in the same league as the 1.3SE's nor should they be given the price difference. Maybe I'll look into a subwoofer. Thanks for the suggestions.
Perkadin, I'm using a McIntosh MC162 amp with a Rogue 99Magnum preamp and a Cary 303/100 cd player. I have read that Sim and Plinius are good matches for Dynaudios.
Erik, I had thought of going to a more powerful amp but wasn't sure if that would solve the problem. I may have to give it a try. I know the Dynaudios love power/current.
