What speaker for being close to rear wall?

I'm looking for a speaker that would excel, not just tolerate, being near the rear wall. It needs to be within 12 inches. Don't worry about cost. Also I recently tried Audio Notes so you can leave those off the suggestion list.I don't have symmetrical defined corners. :(

Thanks!

There have been numerous threads on this in the past. If you search "north creek" (which I own and enjoy) and "guru" I expect you will get several of them. John

One thing I'd be leery of, if you have to go near the front wall, is getting speakers that are not voiced for near wall, but said to work "pretty well" in close. One day, you'll pull them away from the wall out of curiosity, and you'll likely find they sound much better further out (as indeed the manufacturer's directions indicate), and you'll be bummed to have to return them to the livable configuration, knowing you're not able to take full advantage of what you paid for. Happened to me, anyway.
