+1 for Audionote. I have AN J-spe against the wall in a small room paired with Audionote Meishu Silver Line (8 watts) and sound incredible...
Speakers good for close to wall placement
There are quite a few speakers I would like to purchase, but I need to be realistic. I will need to find some speakers that perform well when placed close to the rear wall. After that choice I can move on to selecting the proper integrated amp to drive them. Any suggestions on which speakers work well near the rear wall?
