I have a Yamaha RX-V667 AV receiver and am looking to replace my fronts which are currently bi-amped. I've been told that Monitor Audio Bronze BX5 would be a good match but the review in What Hifi says that they wont thank me for backing them against a rear wall. I can only really get away with placing the fronts no more than a few inches from the rear wall. Is this going to be a real problem with these speakers?
I've also read the review of the Tannoy Revolution RC6T floorstanders which states "They even work close to a wall". Would these be a better bet? How would they match with the Yamaha and how do they compare sonically. Spending the extra money isn't a problem if it's worthwhile.
I'm completely open to other suggestions - doesn't even have to be floorstanders. Am also considering a separate hi-fi amp to run the fronts - maybe the Marantz PM6004.
Thanks in advance for the help
