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.

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.

Boston Acoustics A400s are made to go close to the back wall, and they are in the same ballpark as your budget.

Disclaimer: I have a pair of these for sale currently on Audiogon, but this post is for information only, not a sales pitch.

Oops, I thought you said around $300. The A400s are WAY below your budget!

Regas are a classic near-wall recommendation. The RS7s are on budget new.
