Great sounding close to back wall speakers.

Looking for recommendations for great sounding speakers that can be located close (say within 24") of rear wall.

They're a big, somewhat uniquely shaped speaker, but even so only extend into the room so far, certainly not further than most speakers when set out in front of the front wall. The Allison Model 3(?) is designed to go directly in the corner. Never heard them, but they're certainly friendly to the room :-)

For less than $1000 I recommend Von Schweikert VR-1s. No actual rear port, bass to 50 Hz in room, beautiful mid-range and a quick coherent speaker. They can actually sit in front of or in bookshelves.
