FWIW, I am running a NAD 368 BluOS with Buchardt Audio S300’s in my living room.
Took them a while to break in but I am enjoying the combo. Not too bright or too laid back, just about right to my 59 year old ears.
I have them off the front wall by only 12 to 14” and don’t seem to have any problems. At least at the volumes I’m running them at. You could tame the port a bit with foam if it was a problem.
Of course YMMV.
Good luck with your search.
