Rear ported speakers?

Hi group,
I've been eyeballing a used pair of rear ported Spendor 3/1 stand mount speakers. I have always used sealed     speakers. The speaker would be placed with the rear a minimum of 12 inches out from the wall behind them. Do you think that would be a problem? 
This is from the Spendor site.
 

The Classic 3/1 delivers a truly captivating sound with unprecedented transparency and dynamic contrast. Efficient, easy to drive and equally at home with tube or solid-state electronics, analogue or digital sources, it always delivers consistent enjoyable sound. A versatile dedicated stand-mount that will work in smaller rooms and close to walls, the Spendor Classic 3/1 offers the ultimate in pure listening pleasure.

 Thanks for your input!

I am not a fan of ports, even if far enough from walls, and if ports, front facing, not side or rear.

There are a lot of speakers out there, I say keep looking.

Size limitations? Budget? Are you considering used?
