Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation


Hi everyone,

After about a 15 year hiatus from hifi, I'm looking to get back into it. I'm looking for a front ported bookshelf speaker. The reason is that it's going to go inside a cabinet and right against a back wall. My budget is up to $5,000 but the less, the better:) Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

TIA

There are speakers that are OK to be in a cabinet, that's how they were designed. I think some Devore and Revival models but I would check with the manufacturer. 

 

why do you have to put the speakers in a cabinet if the room is large?

it’s a good brain exercise to try to keep up with the direction of this thread.
