Problem with rear firing bass port




Hi guys,

I have been offer a pair of Soliloguy 6.5 used at great price. I am really worry about it's rear firing bass port. I know normally you should place from rear wall minimum of 2 feet, but my exsiting room structure don't allow this. I can only allow 1 foot from the wall at most!

Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry...nothing against the speakers...I was thinking of a different model...anyways...you could always do the sock in the port thing...kinda crude...but effective...also...getting a good deal that doesnt fit your room(as one poster mentioned) needs isnt ideal...good luck...
That is a great deal! In a perfect world you would have the room for them.Soliloquys really need some breathing room.They are some great speakers ,I hope your room will allow you to enjoy them.And please don't hook them to a reciever, they are ruthless when it comes to upstream components . Good luck!
Thanks Phasecorrect, a sock is an interesting idea!

Gmood1, I actually have a choice of the 6.3 & 6.5 model demo unit at less than half the price from a dealer, but I think I may just go with the 6.3 since my room is only 15' X 17' Thanks for your comment.
Hkrainman that sounds like a plan.Make sure the demo unit was manufactured after Aug of 2001.The Xovers were upgraded in the 6.3s to the same design in the 6.5s.They claim it improved imaging and tightened bass response.I have enjoyed mine and have no intentions of buying another pair of speakers for a long time.Happy Listening!
