Help Choosing Stereo Speakers for Near-Field Listening (Near Wall Placement)

[kvandhi]

Hi everyone,

I have a query about selecting stereo speakers for near-field listening — mainly for placement on a desk, on either side of my laptop.

I’m a bit confused about which type of port design (front-ported, rear-ported, or sealed) would be better, since my setup has the speakers placed just a few inches away from the back wall — the table itself is right up against the wall.

Could you please share suggestions or experiences on which speaker type works best for such near-wall, near-field setups?

Thanks in advance!

Rear ported like micca RB42 is also fine. You can plug the port if you find it too overwhelming with low end.

Edifer 1700 BTS (active) are also fine with front port
