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, When you talk about bass what range are you referring to hz wise? When you talk about large drivers what sizes are you talking about? I have ported speakers with a 9" dynaudio driver, driven by 160wt mono tube amps and the bass sounds about as tight (not loud) as my Quad 63's. What I have noticed though is they don't seam to like amps w/no negative feed back. Does that make any sense to you?
