Ported Speakers and Tube Amps??


Are ported speakers and either tube integrated amps or hybrid integrated's a no-no?

I have read some comments in regard to bass issues when the two are put together so I was looking to confirm this. I am assuming though that an amp with decent output would negate this issue?

Thnx in advance,

Sean is absolutely correct on port loaded speakers! I ended up "stuffing" the ports with foam (beside other things i had to do to the volume of the enclosure) to make them aperiodic. Results are satisfactory, but i believe ported speakers, even though top design choice amongst speaker-bulders, should be avoided.
