Legacy Focus plug rear ports?


I've acquired a pair of huge Legacy Focus speakers with three 12 inch woofers per speaker and oh my is there a lot of bass!  This bass is a bit boomy closer to the rear wall but that's my optimal placement aesthetically in our living room.  I wonder if anyone has tried plugging the rear ports. I will also use Anthem ARC to attenuate the modes of the room but any other advice is appreciated.

If you want to know my opinion of this speaker, I love it.. It truly has weight to the sound.  Very open with excellent midrange... But that bass does need to be considered making placement very important.

Anyone else tried plugging the ports in the back?  I know a lot of rear ported speakers come with foam plugs. Yes I could try it, but lugging them upstairs will be quite a task so I'd like to hear some opinions before making this move.

Also, while it might "sound fine" initially, I wondered if I'm doing anything sinful and detrimental to the overall engineering of the speaker... or is it just a matter of taste?
