Need speaker for a small space and close to wall

We are moving and I need to rethink my system for an 8 foot wall. The room is small and requires me to have the speakers within 12 inches of the wall. Listening position will be 9ft from the speakers and 2 feet from the rear wall. Budget is $3000. Amplification will adjust accordingly. I listen to all kinds of music. Lots of jazz, lots of folk and goth/electronica and soundtracks and throw in some rap and latin music.

I have a similar situation in my office. The only speaker that seems to really excel in this situation is the Gallo A'Diva. They need the bass reinforcement from the wall to sound really good. Tremendous detail and very involving speaker, btw.

I have had very good luck in a similar situation with Dynaudios- I have an older model called the Special One and they have served me well in that capacity.

rega rs are designed to be placed near wall--vg speaker. moving up in class, paradigm signature seem to be largely impervious to placement and should work well for your configuration.

+1 on the rec for the Rega RS line. Rega speakers, particularly the RS version, are very musical and an excellent value.

If you're considering Audio Note, the smaller AN/K speakers would be best suited for a small room. Speaking from experience, both the AN/J and AN/E speakers will overload a small room with too much bass.
