I may be going out on a limb here . . but from what I have read and heard, most designers of speakers meant to be against the wall do not seem to have soundstaging as the highest priority compared to other considerations. The Allison speakers were an unconventional design - especially the Allison One and Allision Two; they still appear occasionally on the pre-owned market. Another possible contender, now that I think of it, might be GURU: www.sjofnhifi.com/products.html. They are designed to be against the wall and are supposed to excel in soundstaging.
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
In the old days there was Allison, who designed great floorstanders to work perfectly against a wall. I need a modern equivalent of Allison Ones, to stand against a wall and fill a large room. I know that North Creek Kitty Kat Revelators are designed for this purpose, but I need something larger to fill a larger space than a small monitor would do, as well as providing bigger bass output. I need speakers that are specifically designed this way, though, not full-range speakers that "can work somewhat" close to a wall, and invariably fall short in the soundstaging department. Suggestions, please?
