Speakers made for close placement to front walls

i'm trying to get some idea what speakers are made for placement close to the wall behind them. i've come up with a couple of models of snells that have inspired many audio note designs and naims 'dbl' model. these designs have wide baffles in common.
what are placement stratagies for tranmission line designs?
thank you for you suggestions!

lots of posts on Audiogon about the subject. Many many choices in speakers.

I listened to the new Wilson Duette's Wednesday evening. They're $11,000.00, but they are definitely well worth a listen if they're within your price range.

In my experience sealed box designs have greater flexibility in placement (e.g., unlike rear ported designs).

Any sealed box or front ported design is a better bet than rear-ported speakers. Several Linn and Naim models are specifically meant to go near the wall. There are many others too of course.
