Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries


Application calls for a full range speaker in the 10K range that will work well in a 13 X 17 room but little ability to move the speakers out into the space due to furniture and WAF issues. (Speakers will be maximum 18" from front wall either positioned on long or short wall). Looking for a real music lover's speaker, not a hifi demonstration. Very real midrange--lively and tonally correct with taught bass (not bloated or slow), dynamic yet non-fatiguing sound. Soundstaging and imaging are secondary to accurate tonality and lack of coloration. Suggestions?

I use my Altec A7 in my office they sit right up against rear wall.Most horns can be placed near wall.
Maybe not your cup of tea and nowhere near $10k, but would seem to fit small room, near boundary requirements, and sound attributes you desire:

Rhythm Prisms

Yes the 45 degree toe-in works as I have the larger Jazz Modules and this will definitely minimize the early reflections while providing a larger sweet spot.
I would wait first to see if you actually move and if you do you might find out that your current speakers work fine in a room that size. If they don't pursue the new speaker.
My room is 14 x 18 and you would be surprised all the speakers that work in that space. BTW if you need new speakers check KCS speakers. Johnk answered above and he can build you a great speaker that will work in any room.
How about Merlin;the only thing I don't know for sure is
if they are sensitive to placement near the wall;great speakers and Bobby gives excellant Technical Support to his products.
