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

Unfortunately there's no other solution to the positioning. It's either deal with it or not add speakers.

@blackiridium 

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. 

 

I have a pair of Jean Marie Reynaud (JMR) Trente bookshelves for my office set up and they are awesome front ported speakers, so smooth and non fatiguing and very musical. They are a French company that has been around a long time.

 

The Trente's I have are no longer in production, the current model which is similar is called the Lucia, I think they are under $2k, but great speakers and very well made.

Perlisten great speaker and big monitors  

Anthony at Perrotta consultants  is very fair compared with speakers of much high cost .

there are a ton of loudspeakers that will work

the real questions how big is your room?

type of amplifier?

 

type of sound you like detailed/clean or warm and musical?

 

how loud do you play?
