Ha, I used to be an Aerial 10t owner
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

Have a close look at the new EPOS ES-7N - great small speaker designed by Karl Heinz Fink of Fink Team. Front ported and offers the ability to work in a bookshelf or close to the wall or free standing. $2195 pair. Check with Aaron at Now Listen Here : aaron@nowlistenhere.net |
Space inside the cabinet will be a big determining factor for what speakers will fit in your allotted space. I will add Ascend Acoustics Luna or Ascend Acoustics Duo V2 Both have a RAAL ribbon tweeter and are front ported. The ribbon tweeter limits vertical dispersion somewhat, so standing versus sitting will vary. The Duo will likely fill the space better, but are taller, or wider depending on how you orient them. Best of luck. |
I have very good experience with Harbeth SHL5 plus, acording to your description, I would suggest you to try polk audio back ported. I have a pair discountinued RTI A1, hang on the wall and right behind a hanged tv, very short space to the left and right, wall to the left and fire place to the right. But they still sound amazing. This bookshelf comes with a guided port with a hanging hold, and seems polk audiohave some special research and design on the guided port. Chek out their website to see if you can find anyone meet your require https://www.polkaudio.com/en-ca/category/home-speakers/bookshelf/ And the link below to see their guided port tech |
