Or is it just not that simple
I'm in the same position as you. I have to have my speakers fairly near the back wall, therefore I only auditioned speakers with front or bottom firing ports. My Proacs have the downward firing port and the plinth then directs the bass frequencies out sideways. Have you tried the D30R or D40R? The ribbon tweeters on these are fantastic and IMO outperform traditional domes.
Good luck with your auditioning and subsequent purchase!
