Closed box, Port-less speakers


Are there any closed box, port-less or otherwise uniquely designed speakers that can rival the sound and quality, imaging, soundstage, articulation and smoothness of the ref 3a de capo's, opera callas, totem model 1, sonus faber's, etc etc etc? I know this is a bit like beating a dead horse but I have been unable to find speakers that are designed to be positioned against the wall behind it that performs anywhere near the quality of the aforementioned speakers which do not require this positioning.

What happend to the Bravo? Ref 3A's are very good but little thin compared to the Bravo...
Totem Model 1's have been around for awhile.. haven't heard them in a looong time.
The Opera's are beautiful for sure...
Sonus Faber... nahhh too colored.
Closed box speakers ar few and far between... this does not determine how close to a wall they can be placed... They often have poor bass depth and very low efficiency like the Aerial model 5...yuck! ....coaxial style speakers do much better close to the wall.
Anyway let us know what you decide.
