Rear Ported Speakers, Backs to Wall?


I am looking for some floorstanding speakers to put in my dining room. Because the room is not very long in comparison to the table, the speakers will have to be placed with their backs near (possibly several inches away from) the wall.

My question is: how much of a problem would it be to use rear ported speakers in this case? I have been considering the rear ported Revel Concerta F12, which supposedly matches well with my NAD C372 amp. I do have a 15 band/channel eq if tweaking the bass region would help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

As stated in previous posts, rear wall placement almost always requires sealed box/acoustic suspension speakers or front ported speakers.

Are you looking at both monitors and floorstanders? NHT speakers match up very nicely with NAD amplifiers. Try something like the SB3 (discontinued) or the new Classic 3.
