speakers close to the back wall ?

The back of my rear ported floor standing speakers are one foot from the back wall and can get boomy in the port frequencies. I can`t move them further out into the room so I`m looking for a speaker that works well close to the wall at around 3000 dollars.
My system is Sim Audio moon 5.3 integrated amp and matching cd player.

Boston Acoustics A400s are made to go close to the back wall, and they are in the same ballpark as your budget.

Disclaimer: I have a pair of these for sale currently on Audiogon, but this post is for information only, not a sales pitch.

Oops, I thought you said around $300. The A400s are WAY below your budget!

Regas are a classic near-wall recommendation. The RS7s are on budget new.

Agree with above - try stuffing the ports with socks and see what you think. Another very cheap plug is foam pipe insulation available in different diameter sizes from a hardware store. It can be tailored to still leave a small hole for air to escape, or plugging outright.
