Speakers good for close to wall placement

Anyone remember the NHT 3.3's?  They were so deep that you could jam the back of them right up against the wall and yet the drivers would still be a good distance out from the wall.

Among current makers, look at Larsen (all models) and Klipsch (certain models). Vintage speakers that were designed to go against the wall include Sonab-Carlsson, Allison, and certain models by Snell, and Linn (the Kan, I believe).  I have not heard the new Volti.

I've had a number of speakers in our large living/kitchen area over four decades. My wife doesn't want speakers too far out in the room. I've finally found the perfect speaker for that room and those restrictions, the Larsen 8.2. No need for subs either. The low bass on these relatively small speakers is amazing. I tried several amps, both solid state and tube. So far I'm getting the best synergy with Manley Snapper monos.

One more for Larsen.  

This reminds me of something.  Among my nearly half century of owning B&W's, I had tall electrostatic panels speakers for 25 years.  Instead of placing them near a wall, I removed a section of the wall and used the speakers in two different rooms.  The sound was certainly clean and crisp from the upper bass to the mid-range, where 'stats really shine.  I had originally done this for the early, wood framed Magnepans, but those speakers were not really good at anything, except for sounding like Bose 901's with an even worse head cold than they had.
