I think that Totem makes on-wall speakers; the Tribe (... searching memory...). Also Sonus Faber had something that I think was a wall mount, the Elipsa, or Elipsa monitor. Whatever it is, it would be something you need to find used.
I don't know where you are, so availability may be an issue. Beonicke make a little speaker, the W5 SE which by all accounts is remarkable. I know someone here has a pair. Also a SAM profile exists for that speaker. They have side firing woofers which could/ should help with placement close to a wall. I would think that any speaker that pushes air to the back as well as to the front would be a poor choice for the location constraints you describe. Otherwise I'd suggest the Amphion Argon 3S; a rear-firing driver likely means it has to have space around it.
