Bass rolls around things, which is why any speaker is bass reinforced by walls regardless of port locations (I was in Portland ME last week...coincidence?)...when using a pair of old KEF front ported "uni-Qs" for mixing they would blow little puffs of air into my face...known as NEWS (Nearfield Eye Watering Syndrome). My current Heresy IIIs are un-ported and sound great with 2 un-ported subs, although the portholes in the room need to be tightly shut in a storm.
Non-rear ported Speakers
First, I have read that front ported speakers are not sonically viable. Any credence to that minority opinion?
Second, I am finding them enjoyable in my near-near field garage system. Small Ushers and Monitor Bronze 2.
Looking to add a third under $800, new or used. Any suggestions? Looking strongly at the Triangle Bro3. Sealed options are fine.
Mishmash of integrated amplification. Vintage Pioneer A-51. Various class A/B, D, T. Garage is experiment city.
Near-near field about 3 feet. I brush my teeth with the music down here.
