speakers close to the back wall ?

The back of my rear ported floor standing speakers are one foot from the back wall and can get boomy in the port frequencies. I can`t move them further out into the room so I`m looking for a speaker that works well close to the wall at around 3000 dollars.
My system is Sim Audio moon 5.3 integrated amp and matching cd player.

Audio Note speakers work well near walls and corners ... also transmission line Jordan jx92 based speakers from Carolina Audio, Konus Audio and AudioWood among others would work well also

Have you tried some absorbing material in the port? A cheap fix if it works.

Some Linns, high end HT speakers, i.e. Thiel SCS, etc.

I agree with Stanwal..Dynaudio ships plugs for their ported speakers..try that first

Talk to your speaker manufacturer first as not all speakers react the same to their ports being filled, but Stanwal has a good suggestion. You can get some closed cell foam and shove it into the port. This will allow you to create a sealed box. Alternately you can try stuffing polyfill or other "looser" material in there.

If another speaker is your preference the I'd suggest the Audiokinesis Rhythm Prisms or Audio Note speakers.
