Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!!

I love Fritz’s Carbon 7 Mk. II SE. Search it out online and on youtube.

It has a rear port, but most people assume that a front port solves the "placing it too close to the wall" problem. But it doesn’t, really, because the issue is that lower frequency bass waves emanate in all directions. 

While front-ported speakers offer a little more flexibility in placement compared to rear-ported designs (which absolutely need space for the port to breathe), they still benefit from being moved away from walls. This is primarily to minimize boundary reinforcement that overemphasizes bass and to reduce reflections that can muddy the overall sound. 

In other words, the port’s location doesn’t negate the fundamental acoustic principles of how sound interacts with boundaries in a room. 

Oh, and a rear ported speaker can have a soft plug in the back to help diminish chuffing.

 Its nice to not hear "why do you need another set of speakers" - thanks for enabling me.

Rock on. I find such comments more than irritating. 

Compare: "why do you need another to go to Italy again" and the stupidity inflates like a giant balloon.

Longtime readers know that I rarely go gaga over anything I review, but I must admit the Alta Alyssa loudspeaker is something special.

Um, you don't "review" them. You sell them. There's a difference involving objectivity.
