Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex

I've been demo'ing a pair of full range/single driver speakers for a few weeks and have now gone back to my floorstanders that have a port for the mid-bass and bass drivers...well, it's a little overwhelming now and I'd like to tone it down a little.

Suggestions for what to use....besides a sock?

Thanks, L'wood

I use upholstery foam about 1 inch thick that can be rolled up and placed in the port. It works well.

I tried the straws before I tried the upholstery foam, because Stuart Tyler of ProAc used straws in the Response 1 speaker years ago. It did not sound right at all in the ported Dahlquist speakers that I was using. Foam did the trick.
