Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help

Hello all,

I want to buy my daughter and her husband a house-warming gift of a nice stereo. The problem is that the room they will probably want the stereo in simply won’t allow speakers to be place more than about 6-8" from the back wall. Any ideas of manufacturers and/or models that might work for them?

They listen to all kinds of music and I want to stay below 4K for used speakers.

 

Thanks in advance.

Audio Note Uk speakers come to mind right away because they are designed to be placed close to the walls.

Check out ATC. Sealed woofer on all models! The Harbeth P3ESR would be another choice. BTW, I own the P3ESR!

At the risk of coming off as a dick, allow me to inform you that the wall behind the loudspeakers is actually the front wall, not the rear. The wall your listening position faces is front, right? Unless you listen with your back to the speakers! I know it's just semantics, but it can cause confusion.
