Some speakers are designed for using against the wall. Wilson Duettes for example, though somewhat over budget. Audio Note UK make a range intended for boundary use based on old Snell designs and very amp friendly, the afore mentioned Larsens, the original Linn Isobariks, Saras and Kans, nearly any Naim speaker before the Ovators (I have NBLs 5.5cm from the wall behind them) and there must be others out there. Some of these need a solid wall rather than plasterboard but you don’t have to give up scale and depth with all of these. Positioning is still important to get the best from them but that position will be near a wall.
Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall?
I currently have rear ported floor standing speakers (Dali Euphonia MS-4) against the wall due to no other room options. Are these speakers feasible? I also have 2 Rel 528s along side each speaker. I am looking at replacing the speakers. I also have 2” acoustic treatment w 2” brackets behind the speakers. Any speaker suggestions in the the 5-7k range (used) welcomed.
