Speakers good for close to wall placement

Cincy,
Just happened to be looking at these. Steve Guttenberg, the aged hippie, really likes these:

Ohm Walsh

They are meant to be close to walls as they are intended to utilize this reflection. They also have the smallest footprint I know.

cincyhound OP1 posts12-01-2020 4:38amThanks for the suggestions. I’d like to go with tubes for my amp, so higher efficiency would be best. What are your thoughts on Klipsch Cornwalls?

Excellent choice, and you can pick the Valve amp to suit. I’ve heard a lot of the older Klipsch speakers matched with Mcintosh MC225-240 and 275s, I heard them with the HK Citations and Marantz, 7 and 9s. ALL were wonderful.

The Macs had a little more bass and wonderful mids(240), than the EL34 stuff. 275 they are BLASTING, I mean BLASTING... 100+ db... with a hot rodded 240...

HK and  Marantz had the mids and highs with good MID bass. You got a winner for Corner horns, La Sala, Klipschorn, Cornwalls or Heresy. YUP they will BLAST with 30 watts and above.. That Ravin with SUB out is a really nice NEW with a GREAT support staff... and a heck of a piece of engineering,
A little pricey BUT... well worth it.. Good looking to.

Larsen gets no love on this site.  They are specifically designed to be jammed up next to the wall behind them.  But not in the corners.  Audio Note for close wall and corner placement.  Search those two brand names on this forum and you'll find more threads discussing same or similar topic to this one.

Vintage Kef References (Theyve got a special external crossover)were designed to be set  against a wall.Linn Isobariks do need a little space but need to have ceiling reflections taken into consideration as they have upward firing mid and tweeter.

Another vote for the Cornwall, preferably the IV version.
