Which loudspeakers work best close to back wall?

From experience, Rega (Ara, now RS1) and Ascend Acoustics (Sierra 1) were the best stand mounted speakers for near to rear wall placement. The Sierras can also be placed on their sides with no ill effect. I have also have a pair of Opera floor standers (Platea) that do very well with near to rear wall placement. To go one step further, Totem (Mites), Wharefedale (Diamond 9.1), and Spendor (SA1) did not sound special when placed in a similar manner.

Any of the Lenehan Audio speakers - they are designed for rear wall reinforcement - in fact they are not at their best well into a room.

Thanks

Triangles are front ported and sound good close to back walls.

Just avoid anything rear ported.

Revel Performa M22 has a switch on the back for near wall placement or flip the switch and pull them into the room.
