What speaker for being close to rear wall?

Anthony Gallo Stradas are designed to be within a foot of the wall. I use the A'divas in my office as they are 6" off the wall, and everything else sounded too boomy.

Gradient Revolutions

Guru speakers were the talk of the show in NY a few years ago.
Made to be against the wall. Incredible bass!

Any speaker which is non-ported or front ported will work well closer to a back wall. I've had success with Linn Katan, Linn Majik 109 and currently Spendor S5e floorstanders, which use a transmission line design and port out the bottom. Aerial 5's also work well, but need lots of power.

It's the rear porting than tends to cause bloated bass problems.

I agree about the porting, but there seems to be more at work. For instance I had Avalons that were bottom ported and they needed to be 6-7 feet out. It seems some of the older vintage designs were designed to work well in corners or against the wall. English speakers also generally seem to get mentioned a lot.
