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.

I once owned the Legacy Focus. It is a very dynamic speaker.

Usually when a speaker is rear ported it is better not to place it too close to the back wall. Perhaps experiment, move them out 2 feet or more to find that bass sound you want. Then place the Focus feet on some type of gliders that will allow you to move them back and forth when done using them.

You can try plugging the port holes, but I don’t think you will like the sound.
