Best speakers for near rear wall placement?

I would give the Direct Acoustics "Silent Speaker" a try. It is designed to work near/against a wall. Here's a link to a good positive feedback review:

The company has a generous return policy too, so you can't really go wrong.

Enjoy,

Limited opitons, so these are just for consideration, not because I necessarily think them "best"; some Linn's and Klipsch.

I think I read that some VMPS speakers can be placed close to a wall.
