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.

The Audio Note E's gave boomy bass in my room against the back wall and corners and not until they were 3ft. back was it controlled.

Try before you buy.

I'm using a floorstanding single driver no crossover speaker with front slotted ports from Planet10 Audio called the Fonken 167.

Obviously all rooms and all speakers require careful matching. AN/e's are quite balanced in my room....a bit more than a foot or so from my front wall. Large room 20' x 30' brick one side, glass the other.....horses for courses.

If you want the AN-Es closer to the wall try placing a diffuser between the speakers - an Indian blanket or a curtain will work. You can also try placing a tube trap behind the speaker, at least 11", but you run a risk of mucking up the bass.
