I believe I once read that the Audio Physic can be setup against the long wall and toed in almost directly at the listener. There was a S'phile review about this some years ago and maybe the AP website has some info about this. Also, the Wilson Duettes are specifically designed for wall proximity placement. Although not floorstanders, these are a pretty big speaker.
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
In the old days there was Allison, who designed great floorstanders to work perfectly against a wall. I need a modern equivalent of Allison Ones, to stand against a wall and fill a large room. I know that North Creek Kitty Kat Revelators are designed for this purpose, but I need something larger to fill a larger space than a small monitor would do, as well as providing bigger bass output. I need speakers that are specifically designed this way, though, not full-range speakers that "can work somewhat" close to a wall, and invariably fall short in the soundstaging department. Suggestions, please?

Springbok10, the Classic Audio Loudspeakers do that quite nicely. They are also completely full-range, smooth, detailed, dynamic (efficiency is 97-98 db), easy impedance (16 ohms)... The field-coil versions are hard to fault. They have the detail that I have only heard from the best ESLs. http://classicaudioloudspeakers.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?fs=1&init=1 I have them 6 inches from the rear wall in my room and they image beautifully. |
