Hence why I prefer sealed designs. Easy to place them in my bedroom system- I put my ATC 7’s on cork and rubber feet directly on my 72” low dresser about a foot from the wall, and they image really well with no bloat in the bass.
Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers?
I did a search here on A'gon to try to find out what the reason for this would be, and I take it to tame unruly bass? Would plugging the rear ports make a speaker less particular about placement? I would think that if anything, plugging the rear ports would mean the speaker could be moved closer to the wall, but I find that I am often mistaken about my preconceived notions.
