Best Speaker for Wall Placement?

Hello! I'm moving to a new house, and will be setting up a second system in the new living room. The room itself is 14' wide and 25' long. It is rectangular. Unfortunately, I will need to listen across the short axis. Also, due to the layout of the room, I will be wanting speakers that work well when positioned against the wall. The speakers don't have to be small, I could even consider some LaScalas or something.

Does anyone have experience with speakers that work well when placed right against the wall?

Thanks in advance and happy listening!

Some older Linn speakers. All Audio Note. Allison. These are just designed to be placed close to the wall. Others are just near wall placement friendly (Zu Definitions). There are several threads that deal with this issue in depth.

North Creek speakers are specifically designed to go against the wall.

Thanks for the responses! I'm leaning towards Klipsch because I also want to experiment with lower power tube amps.

I hadn't thought of the old Linn stuff. Bricks perhaps?
