Floorstanders with a large sweetspot

I'm looking for a pair of floorstanders under $2.5k new or used that (1) can be placed close to a wall and (2) have a reasonably large sweetspot. I will drive then with an integrated tube amp, TBD based on the speakers. The room they will be in is 12 x 18. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Check out the Philarmonic 2. The port is on the top of the lower cabinet so they can be placed right up against the wall and it will still give some room for the OB mid to breathe.

The Salk Soundtowers can be placed as close a 1' to the wall

If you want a large sweetspot, Ohms might be a good candidate for you. They are sold direct, but do have a 4 month home trial period with a money back guarantee. (I think you're still on the hook for return shipping, but still a good deal.)

I'm not a current owner, but have had them in the past and can recommend them for any short list of candidates.
