Recently bought a pair of Ascend Sierra 1 bookshelves and then bought their brand port plugs, one set open and one closed. Need to play around with them to find the best sound....they are quite small speakers but so far are pretty impressive....driven by NAD C 375BEE.....
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.
